Christopher Reeve
Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes crimes out of things that are not crimes.
I like to comprehend more or less everything around me - apart from the creation of my music. It's an obsessive character trait that's getting worse. I don't switch the light on and off 15 times before I leave the room yet, but something's going wrong.
Robert Plant
I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.
David Bowie

Pete Rose
I happen to dig being able to use whatever mystique I have to further the idea of peace.
Garrett Morris
I've known Shawn for several years. And he's just an amazing talent. He's a great writer, a marvelous, marvelous guitar player, and plays really good fiddle.
Guy Clark
The Palestinians want a state, but they have to give peace in return. What they're trying to do in the United Nations is to get a state without giving Israel peace or giving Israel peace and security. And I think that's, that's wrong. That should not succeed. That should, that should fail.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Would ye both eat your cake and have your cake?
John Heywood
It's your outlook on life that counts. If you take yourself lightly and don't take yourself too seriously, pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives. And sometimes it can be a lifesaver.
Betty White
Being a mom has made me so tired. And so happy.
Tina Fey
In actual life every great enterprise begins with and takes its first forward step in faith.
Friedrich Von Schlegel
There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
Genius is, to be sure, not a matter of arbitrariness, but rather of freedom, just as wit, love, and faith, which once shall become arts and disciplines. We should demand genius from everybody, without, however, expecting it.
It is peculiar to mankind to transcend mankind.
Prudishness is pretense of innocence without innocence. Women have to remain prudish as long as men are sentimental, dense, and evil enough to demand of them eternal innocence and lack of education. For innocence is the only thing which can ennoble lack of education.
Usually, if you smile at them and show some interest in the toy, they will give it to you. That's a straight up Democrat move!
Margaret Cho
Irony is the form of paradox. Paradox is what is good and great at the same time.
The day will come, however, when they will truly know the Unification Church and me. The day will come when the truth will be known and the message of love will be taught. On that day, their regret will be deep.
Sun Myung Moon
An aphorism ought to be entirely isolated from the surrounding world like a little work of art and complete in itself like a hedgehog.
What is called good society is usually nothing but a mosaic of polished caricatures.
My real fantasy if I was to drop out would be to live in a mobile home and be a hippie and drive around festivals and have millions of children - children with dreadlocks and nose rings - and play the flute.
Rachel Weisz
Good drama must be drastic.
Virtue is reason which has become energy.
A critic is a reader who ruminates. Thus, he should have more than one stomach.
I trust that a graduate student some day will write a doctoral essay on the influence of the Munich analogy on the subsequent history of the twentieth century. Perhaps in the end he will conclude that the multitude of errors committed in the name of Munich may exceed the original error of 1938.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
There's nothing less funny than someone who looks cool. There's nothing more unappealing.
Eric Wareheim
Troubles impending always seem worse than troubles surmounted, but this does not prove that they really are.
A lot of journalism wants to have what they call objectivity without them having a commitment to pursuing the truth, but that doesn't work. Objectivity requires belief in and a commitment toward pursuing the truth - having an object outside of our personal point of view.
Nate Silver
In the sphere of thought, absurdity and perversity remain the masters of the world, and their dominion is suspended only for brief periods.
Arthur Schopenhauer
I firmly believe that respect is a lot more important, and a lot greater, than popularity.

Abdallah II
Doubt is the vestibule through which all must pass before they can enter into the temple of wisdom.
Charles Caleb Colton
You want to put out a TV show? If you have the money to do it on your own, by yourself, and you have a TV network, you can do it by yourself. But the nature of the beast is, art needs finance. That's how this industry works. So until the Internet becomes our source of entertainment - and watch it, I believe it will - this is how things go.
Nathan Fillion
You don't need a silver fork to eat good food.
