You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he be willing to climb a little himself.
A three -- to four -- to five-hour experience with nothingness.
Frederic Glezer
You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes.
Maimonides
The older I grow the more I listen to people who don't talk much.
Germain G. Glien
You know how it is when you're reading a book and falling asleep, you're reading, reading... and all of a sudden you notice your eyes are closed? I'm like that all the time.
Steven Wright
With so much information now online, it is exceptionally easy to simply dive in and drown.
Alfred Glossbrenner
All the business of war, and indeed all the business of life, is to endeavour to find out what you don't know by what you do that's what I called 'guess what was at the other side of the hill'.
Duke of Wellington
If you build a better mousetrap, you will catch better mice.
George Gobel
She knew with suddeness and ease that this moment would be with her always, within hand's reach of memory.She doubted if they all sensed it - they had seen the world - but even George was silent for a minute as they looked, and the scene, the smell, even the sound of the band playing a faintly recognisable movie theme, was locked forever in her, and she was at peace.
Stephen King
I think any period in history can be adapted into interesting fiction, as long as you approach the actual history with respect.
Seth Grahame-Smith
Because of their courage, their lack of fear, they (creative people) are willing to make silly mistakes. The truly creative person is one who can think crazy; such a person knows full well that many of his great ideas will prove to be worthless. The creative person is flexible -- he is able to change as the situation changes, to break habits, to face indecision and changes in conditions without undue stress. He is not threatened by the unexpected as rigid, inflexible people are.
Frank Goble
The senior officer who met with reporters in Baghdad said there had been 21 car bombings in the capital in May, and 126 in the past 80 days. All last year, he said, there were only about 25 car bombings in Baghdad.
Rich Lowry
When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.
Ernest Hemingway
The truth is that there is no terror untempered by some great moral idea.
JeanLuc Godard
You can't get rid of it with exercise alone. You can do the most vigorous exercise and only burn up 300 calories in an hour. If you've got fat on your body, the exercise firms and tones the muscles. But when you use that tape measure, what makes it bigger? It's the fat!
Jack LaLanne
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
To me style is just the outside of content, and content the inside of style, like the outside and the inside of the human body -- both go together, they can't be separated.
I advise you to go on living solely to enrage those who are paying your annuities. It is the only pleasure I have left.
Voltaire
In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.
George Orwell
Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.
We're trying to set up a movie for me in the near future. It's going to be similar to the story of how I got discovered. Kinda like my own version of '8 Mile.'
Justin Bieber
Women in love are less ashamed than men. They have less to be ashamed of.
Ambrose Bierce
All you need for a movie is a gun and a girl.
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn't.
Fortune raises up and fortune brings low both the man who fares well and the one who fares badly and there is no prophet of the future for mortal men.
Sophocles
True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.
William Shakespeare
It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.
Robert H. Goddard
I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and think, Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know.
Research is four things: brains with which to think, eyes with which to see, machines with which to measure and, fourth, money.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
I'm proud to be paying taxes in the United States. The only thing is -- I could be just as proud for half the money.
Arthur Godfrey
Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing, baseball, fishing - there is no greater example than golf, because you're playing against yourself and nature.
Robert Redford
The quality of expectations determines the quality of our action.
Andre Godin
I was terrified to do 'G.I. Joe.' I had no idea how to do one of those movies. I was kind of scared. You know, if one of those doesn't work, it's a huge hit on your career. People are like, 'Well he couldn't make a $170 million movie work. I don't want him in my film.'
Channing Tatum
Friendship is to have the latchkey of another's mind.
Edgar Godospeed
I may grow rich by an art I am compelled to follow; I may recover health by medicines I am compelled to take against my own judgment; but I cannot be saved by a worship I disbelieve and abhor.
Thomas Jefferson
I certainly wasn't happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it. What I was given was the thing you can't earn, and can't keep, and often don't even recognize at the time I mean joy.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The true source of cheerfulness is benevolence.
P. Godwin
My buildings will be my legacy... they will speak for me long after I'm gone.
Julia Morgan
We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear's work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.
Paul Joseph Goebbels
The truth is an ambition which is beyond us.
Peter Ustinov
There are times in life when people must know when not to let go. Balloons are designed to teach small children this.
Terry Pratchett
