The mentally disturbed do not employ the Principle of Scientific Parsimony: the most simple theory to explain a given set of facts. They shoot for the baroque.
A woman in love can't be reasonable - or she probably wouldn't be in love.
Mae West
I am very lucky that I get to tell stories for a living. I love being able to grab people's attention, to keep them turning the pages, to make them stay awake all night. I want to stir the pulse, yes, but also to stir the heart. I hope 'The Woods' does that.
Harlan Coben
Form your life humanly, and you have done enough: but you will never reach the height of art and the depth of science without something divine.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Your core, lying deep within you, is what makes you what you are. Some call it the soul, the Higher Self, the true self, the being and so on. The name is unimportant once you realize that you are more than your looks and outward appearance.
Stephen Richards
Look, I want what's good for everybody. I want to promote good state education for all. I want to raise standards for all kids, irrespective of race and class but why can't they all just do what I say when I know I'm right?
Arabella Weir
I wanted to translate from one flat surface to another. In fact, my learning disabilities controlled a lot of things. I don't recognize faces, so I'm sure it's what drove me to portraits in the first place.
Chuck Close
Women should be obscene and not heard.
Groucho Marx
A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.
Ansel Adams
I couldn't be happier about being a part of 'Hunger Games' and to play Katniss. I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book and I don't take it lightly. I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of Suzanne Collins' masterpiece.
Jennifer Lawrence
Perhaps we feel inclined to disagree with Him. But there's a difficulty about disagreeing with God. He is the source from which all your reasoning power comes: you couldn't be right and He wrong any more than a stream can rise higher than its own source. When you are arguing against Him you're arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all: it's like cutting off the branch you're sitting on.
C.S. Lewis
Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them.
Henry David Thoreau
Men renounce whatever they have in common with women so as to experience no commonality with women; and what is left, according to men, is one piece of flesh a few inches long, the penis. The penis is sensate; the penis is the man; the man is human; the penis signifies humanity.
Andrea Dworkin
No, look, there's a blue box. It's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. It can go anywhere in time and space and sometimes even where it's meant to go. And when it turns up, there's a bloke in it called The Doctor and there will be stuff wrong and he will do his best to sort it out and he will probably succeed 'cause he's awesome. Now sit down, shut up, and watch 'Blink'.
Neil Gaiman
Men are rewarded for learning the practice of violence in virtually any sphere of activity by money, admiration, recognition, respect, and the genuflection of others honoring their sacred and proven masculinity. In male culture, police are heroic and so are outlaws; males who enforce standards are heroic and so are those who violate them.
The argument between wives and whores is an old one; each one thinking that whatever she is, at least she is not the other.
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.
Rogers Hornsby
Woman is not born: she is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed. She becomes symbol of this, symbol of that: mother of the earth, slut of the universe; but she never becomes herself because it is forbidden for her to do so.
I love sci-fi because it leads in the imagination, and I always say it has the most intelligent fans in the world.
Robert Carlyle
Listen. Don't explain or justify.
William G. Dyer
The animal is ignorant of the fact that he knows. The man is aware of the fact that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo
Success... it's what you do with what you've got.
Leroy Van Dyke
Democracy don't rule the world, you better get that in your head; this world is ruled by violence, but I guess that's better left unsaid.
Bob Dylan
All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.
I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.
Albert Camus
My three addictions of choice are food, love and work.
Alanis Morissette
You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past -- whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
Winston Churchill
Although the masters make the rules for the wise men and the fools got nothing, Ma, to live up to.
The man who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight has been present like an archangel at the creation of light and of the world
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We don't admit it to ourselves, not until the very moment of death, but in that moment, we see all life before us and we understand how we chose, every day of our lives, the manner of our death.
Orson Scott Card
If you're not adapting to the very rapidly changing environment, if you can't think creatively, you lose big in this society because there are very few jobs for you left.
Robert Sternberg
Just because you like my stuff doesn't mean I owe you anything.
The future influences the present just as much as the past.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I actually have more respect for people who are in the closet. You end up exposing so much of yourself because you have to talk about your sexual life. You shouldn't have to talk about it.
Randy Harrison
Despite everybody who has been born and has died, the world has just gone on. I mean, look at Napoleon --but we went right on. Look at Harpo Marx --the world went around, it didn't stop for a second. It's sad but true. John Kennedy, right?
Well, I don't know, but I've been told the streets in heaven are lined with gold. I ask you how things could get much worse if the Russians happen to get up there first; Wowee! pretty scary!
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
To live outside the law, you must be honest.
For them that think death's honesty won't fall upon them naturally life sometimes must get lonely.
Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us closer to the secret of the 'Old One.' I, at any rate, am convinced that He is not playing at dice.
Albert Einstein
