True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Lucy Powell
Man's heart away from nature becomes hard.
Standing Bear
Some people work an entire lifetime and wonder if they ever made a difference to the world. But the Marines don't have that problem.

I really unfortunately don't have tons of hilarious Sundance stories, because really I am not the biggest fan of hanging out, but the reason why is because I never go see other people's movies and I think that's the way to do it.
Lizzy Caplan
I teach one semester a year, and this year I'm just teaching one course during that semester, a writing workshop for older students in their late 20s and early 30s, people in our graduate program who are already working on a manuscript and trying to bring it to completion.

Leo Burnett
Like the Nazis, the cadres of jihad have a death wish that sets the seal on their nihilism. The goal of a world run by an oligarchy in possession of Teutonic genes, who may kill or enslave other 'races' according to need, is not more unrealizable than the idea that a single state, let alone the globe itself, could be governed according to the dictates of an allegedly holy book. This mad scheme begins by denying itself the talents (and the rights) of half the population, views with superstitious horror the charging of interest, and invokes the right of Muslims to subject nonbelievers to special taxes and confiscations. Not even Afghanistan or Somalia, scenes of the furthest advances yet made by pro-caliphate forces, could be governed for long in this way without setting new standards for beggary and decline.
Christopher Hitchens
Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day.

Plato
I think gardens are fantastic, and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it, and natural and beautiful.
Ed Westwick
Any thoughts of guilt, any feelings of regret, had faded. The desert had baked them out.
Stephen King
I have enough music coming out of my kids' bedrooms when I'm at home.
Rod Stewart
I've often wondered how some people in positions of this kind ... manage without having had any acting experience.
It is hard to think that a billion company with 4,300-plus people couldn't compete with six people in blue jeans.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
