We’re just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people — as remarkable as the telephone.
Time is not what you think. Dying? Not the end of everything. We think it is. But what happens on earth is only the beginning.
Mitch Albom, The Five People You
Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that
The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas.
George Santayana
Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.
Anon.
I love working with a cast and a group of people every day, which is different than recording because you're usually pretty isolated and alone. They serve as a good balance for each other.
Idina Menzel
I have traveled more than any one else, and I have noticed that even the angels speak English with an accent
Mark Twain
Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.
Mahatma Gandhi
Tidings do I bring, and lucky joys, And golden times, and happy news of price
William Shakespeare
People between 20 and 40 are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can't know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do-after 40. Between 20 and 40 the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not yet begun to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world's anguish is caused by people between 20 and 40.
William Faulkner, interview in W
....he thinks about his boyhood, and he mourns his vanished youth -Now, who would live his life again, or face it? Tell the truth.I am mighty glad my boyhood and my youth are far away-I am in the straight for Fifty
Henry Lawson, When there is Trou
And the voice of God was in the whirlwind after all, said Thor
Orson Scott Card
Age affects how people experience time. The observations on this are well known, so it is only necessary to outline briefly what has been the experience of everyone I have ever talked to or read about: the years go faster as one gets older. At the age of four or six, a year seems interminable; at sixty, the years begin to blend and are frequently hard to separate from each other because they move so fast! There are, of course, a number of common-sense explanations for this sort of thing. If you have only lived five years, a year represents 20 percent of your life; if you have lived fifty years, that same year represents only 2 percent of your life, and since lives are lived as wholes, this logarithmic element would make it difficult to maintain the same perspective on the experience of a year
Edward T. Hall
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
General Douglas MacArthur
Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigour. With such people the grey head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well-spent life.
Charles Dickens
Year by year we are learning that in this restless, strenuous American life of ours vacations are essential.
Ellsworth Huntington
Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.
Khalil Gibran
Age is opportunity no less,than youth itself, though in another dress.And as the evening twilight fades away,The sky is filled by the stars invisible by the day.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Mori
I spend so much time with the brightest and most talented and well-rounded people. I've had the privilege of having long and very intellectual conversations with people, and sometimes I just sit there and listen. It's like a better version of a class. Even though I'm not sitting at a desk and in school, I'm still learning all the time.
Hayden Panettiere
I don't like to write like God. It is only because you never do it, though, that the critics think you can't do it.
Ernest Hemingway
There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.
Sophia Loren
Traditionalists are pessimists about the future and optimists about the past.
Lewis Mumford
There is a wisdom of the head, and ... a wisdom of the heart.
To yackety-yak about the past is for me time lost. Every morning I wake up saying, 'I'm still alive -- a miracle.' And so I keep on pushing.
JacquesYves Cousteau, Said at ag
I love nicknames. It makes me feel loved. It makes me feel less alone in this world.
Ellen Page
At eighty-eight how do you feel when getting up in the morning?...Amazed!
Ludwig von Mises
the greatest service we can do to education today is to teach fewer subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects, we destroy his standards, perhaps for life.
C.S. Lewis
You know you're getting old when you stop to tie your shoes and wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
George Burns
What the mayors care about is, 'How can I get money to invest in the infrastructure in my city? How do we put people back to work, lower the unemployment rate, provide for job training programs? How do we make class sizes smaller and make investments in our children from an education standpoint?'
Michael Nutter
He that can compose himself, is wiser than he that composes books
Benjamin Franklin
The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always asked to do things, and you are not yet decrepit enough to turn them down.
TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot
I often begin movies with music in my head it's a very important dimension to me. Not just the music itself, but how to use music in film: when and how and subtlety. I don't like to be too sweet in my stories, and I like the abrasive clang, the contrasting of sounds and cultures.
Mira Nair
Each man is capable of doing one thing well. If he attempts several, he will fail to achieve distinction in any.
Plato
But then the need of being loved, the strongest need... in poor Maggie's nature, began to wrestle with her pride and soon threw it.
George Eliot
The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it.
Arthur Schopenhauer
I've been through the process qualifying for the World Cup, which is an amazing, two-year process. It was an honor to represent the U.S. and to represent the city of Los Angeles and California.
Cobi Jones
It is not improbable that in hot countries, monkeys may have enslaved girls.
Voltaire
Age-based retirement arbitrarily severs productive persons from their livelihood, squanders their talents, scars their health, strains an already overburdened Social Security system, and drives many elderly people into poverty and despair. Ageism is as odious as racism and sexism.
Claude Pepper, Statement in U.S.
Old age is like climbing a mountain. You climb from ledge to ledge. The higher you get, the more tired and breathless you become, but your views become more extensive.
Ingmar Bergman
When I read the pilot 'for Married with Children', it just reminded me of my Uncle Joe... just a self-deprecating kind of guy. He'd come home from work, and the wife would maybe say 'I ran over the dog this morning in the driveway'. And he would say 'Fine, what's for dinner?
Ed O'Neill
Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
Neil Gaiman
