Do you think that you shall enter the Garden of Bliss without such trials as came to those who passed before you?

Alfred Austin

I found my niche as a character actor, and I've never felt like a movie star or teen idol and never wanted to.

Vincent D'Onofrio

Bertolt Brecht

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think one of the major things a director has to do is to know his subject matter, the subject matter of his script, know the truth and the reality of it. That's very important.

When I die, my epitaph or whatever you call those signs on gravestones is going to read: I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I dident like.

Will Rogers

Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.

JeanPaul Sartre

Terry Pratchett

The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty.

John Steinbeck

What can I know? What ought I to do? What can I hope?

Immanuel Kant
