Sometimes it is necessary to be lonely in order to prove that you are right.

We are rarely proud when we are alone.

Voltaire

A silent man is easily reputed wise. A man who suffers none to see him in the common jostle and undress of life, easily gathers round him a mysterious veil of unknown sanctity, and men honor him for a saint. The unknown is always wonderful.

Frederick William Robertson

One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.

Bertrand Russell

No verse can give pleasure for long, nor last, that is written by drinkers of water.

Horace

Pleasure and pain, though directly opposite are contrived to be constant companions.

Pierre Charron

Life and liberty can be as much endangered from illegal methods used to convict those thought to be criminals as from the actual criminals themselves.

Earl Warren

Thomas Fuller

I don't assign myself to the names of any religious or non religious groups I prefer my actions and beliefs to be manic or marvelous just like me

Stanley Victor Paskavich

I chose life over death for myself and my friends... I believe it is in our nature to explore, to reach out into the unknown. The only true failure would be not to explore at all.

We're adults. We're the ones who should teach the kids what's good to eat. I don't think the government should ever regulate what we eat at home, but we're feeding them in school with tax dollars. Quite frankly, if my tax dollars are being spent to feed kids, I'd rather feed them better food.

Tom Colicchio

Of course art world ethics are important. But museums are no purer than any other institution or business. Academics aren't necessarily more high-minded than gallerists.

Jerry Saltz

I want to be the Cecil B. DeMille of science fiction.

Steven Spielberg
