At rest, however, in the middle of everything is the sun.
Nothing is more terrible than to see ignorance in action.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Almost every college playwright or sketch or improv comedian was sort of aware of Christopher Durang - even kids in high school. His short plays were so accessible to younger people and I think that was inspirational to me.
Mindy Kaling
You mustn't always believe what I say. Questions tempt you to tell lies, particularly when there is no answer.
Pablo Picasso
I've been very lucky in the characters I've chosen. Up until last year I was a nobody. I did jobs I booked because I needed to put food in my mouth.
Kristen Bell
If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes.
Simplify, simplify.
Henry David Thoreau
I have amazing friends who have led inspirational lives.
Andrew Shue
Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Cheese runners shouted at it, tried to grab it, and flailed at it with sticks, but the piratical cheese scythed onward, reaching the bottom just ahead of the terrible carnage of men and cheeses as they piled up. Then it rolled back to the top and sat there demurely while still gently vibrating.At the bottom of the slope, fights were breaking out among the cheese jockeys who were still capable of punching somebody, and since everybody was watching that, Tiffany took the opportunity to snatch up Horace and shove him in her bag. After all, he was hers. Well, that was to say she had made him, although something odd must have gone into the mix since Horace was the only cheese that would eat mice and, if you didn't nail him down, other cheeses as well.
Terry Pratchett
Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn how to paint.
My memories are of my dad taking me to football on Saturday mornings, and my mum taking me swimming. Those are the things I remember from my childhood, not sitting around the table debating capitalism and the profit squeeze.
David Miliband
Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.
When angry, count ten before you speak if very angry, an hundred.
Thomas Jefferson
I love it when Muslims go to war with each other, as I do when the Christians do, because it shows there's no such thing as the Christian world and the Islamic world. That's all crap.
Christopher Hitchens
The chief enemy of creativity is good taste.
At home in Victoria, we have three dogs, Tosh and Lucy, they're half Blue Heelers, and then there's Torrin a little Maltese terrier. She gets more attention in the house than anyone else! Yes, I miss them a lot.
Chris Hemsworth
I do not seek, I find.
...as they slid stock words and phrases back and forth between them like beads on an abacus.
J.K. Rowling
Music makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music.
Jimi Hendrix
If everybody is looking for it, then nobody is finding it. If we were cultured, we would not be conscious of lacking culture. We would regard it as something natural and would not make so much fuss about it. And if we knew the real value of this word we would be cultured enough not to give it so much importance.
Mental attitude and concentration are the keys to pitching.
Ferguson Jenkins
That which causes us trials shall yield us triumph: and that which make our hearts ache shall fill us with gladness. The only true happiness is to learn, to advance, and to improve: which could not happen unless we had commence with error, ignorance, and imperfection. We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
Albert Pike
Do not invest time and money into yourself to have others completely destroy it!
Stephen Richards
Doubt, the essential preliminary of all improvement and discovery, must accompany the stages of man's onward progress. The faculty of doubting and questioning, without which those of comparison and judgment would be useless, is itself a divine prerogative of the reason.
Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.
Camille Paglia
The sovereignty of one's self over one's self is called Liberty.
He who endeavors to serve, to benefit, and improve the world, is like a swimmer, who struggles against a rapid current, in a river lashed into angry waves by the wind. Often they roar over his head, often they beat him back and baffle him. Most men yield to the stress of the current. Only here and there the stout, strong heart and vigorous arms struggle on towards ultimate success.
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for.
Marco Rubio
Action is greater than writing. A good man is a nobler object of contemplation than a great author. There are but two things worth living for: to do what is worthy of being written; and to write what is worthy of being read; and the
It's far easier to forgive an enemy after you've got even with him.
Olin Miller
Apart from the known and the unknown, what else is there?
Harold Pinter
One way of looking at speech is to say it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.
Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living.
I've always led by example and I'm not that vocal.
Scottie Pippen
I never stopped studying Buddhism. In the past few years, in between movies, I do a retreat.
Jet Li
I visualize the game. I think about who I am guarding, the things he likes to do.
God has no intention of setting a limit to the efforts of man to conquer space.
Pope Pius XII
Although my family - parents and sister - all work in the personnel management business, their real passion is performing, amateur operatic societies and so on.
Michael Sheen
An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning.
