Time is flying never to return.
Trust me, I play the game for the fans, my family and myself.
David Ortiz
Boston is a moral and intellectual nursery always busy applying first principals to trifles.
George Santayana
Oxford, the paradise of dead philosophies.
The loftiest edifices need the deepest foundations.
My mom's been married three times my dad has been married a lot. I didn't really see my dad that much.
Skeet Ulrich

I don't care half so much about making money as I do about making my point, and coming out ahead.
Cornelius Vanderbilt
The primary use of conversation is to satisfy the impulse to talk.
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
Khalil Gibran
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. This is the condition of children and barbarians, in whom instinct has learned nothing from experience.
After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wiser.
Benjamin Franklin
Every actual animal is somewhat dull and somewhat mad. He will at times miss his signals and stare vacantly when he might well act, while at other times he will run off into convulsions and raise a dust in his own brain to no purpose. These imperfections are so human that we should hardly recognise ourselves if we could shake them off altogether. Not to retain any dulness would mean to possess untiring attention and universal interests, thus realising the boast about deeming nothing human alien to us; while to be absolutely without folly would involve perfect self-knowledge and self-control. The intelligent man known to history flourishes within a dullard and holds a lunatic in leash. He is encased in a protective shell of ignorance and insensibility which keeps him from being exhausted and confused by this too complicated world; but that integument blinds him at the same time to many of his nearest and highest interests. He is amused by the antics of the brute dreaming within his breast; he gloats on his passionate reveries, an amusement which sometimes costs him very dear. Thus the best human intelligence is still decidely barbarous; it fights in heavy armour and keeps a fool at court.
I love the idea of couture and its emphasis on creation. There's where I made my name - in design - and there's where I'd like to stay.
Jimmy Choo
It is only in our decisions that we are important.
JeanPaul Sartre
I've never had siblings, I didn't grow up in a big family it was just me and my single mom. And hectic family dysfunction was actually something that I craved.
Emmy Rossum
On the other hand, all those doubts which I had felt before I entered the cottage as to whether these creatures were friend of foe, and whether Ransom were a pioneer or a dupe, had for the moment vanished. My fear was now of another kind. I felt sure that he creature was what we called 'good', but I wasn't sure whether I liked 'goodness' so much as I had supposed. This is a very terrible experience. As long as what you are afraid of is something evil, you may still hope that the good may come to your rescue. But suppose you struggle through to the good and find that it also is dreadful? How if food itself turns out to be the very thing you can't eat, and home the very place you can't live, and your very comforter the person who makes you uncomfortable? Then, indeed, there is no rescue possible: the last card has been played.
C.S. Lewis
Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.
It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.
Blaise Pascal
To eat is to appropriate by destruction.
Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
Hell is other people.
We all had lots of stories of our sad experiences - they mourned the death of my wife with me - but we were hopeful that the children would return.
Otto Frank
Action is eloquence.
William Shakespeare
Life magazine ran a page featuring me and three other girls that was clearly the precursor of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues.

There are three kinds of lies: lies, d--n lies, and statistics.

Dad was a bus driver, and when he finished work he would repair cars.
Bruno Tonioli
Anger is never without a reason but seldom a good one.
It's long been accepted as fact that the availability of family planning services saves lives. Where women have access to these services, children and families are healthier, and society at large benefits.
Martha Plimpton
I thought... that we could at least talk about books.
Cassandra Clare
Becoming an author changes your attitude too. Once you see where books come from, and how they're made, they never seem quite as sacred again.
Lev Grossman
Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
William Congreve
I'm ridiculous in my oversharing my mom and sister are very open but a little more judicious than me... and my father is a decidedly private person.
Lena Dunham
Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thought-crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by eactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. . . . The process will still be continuing long after you and I are dead. Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller. Even now, of course, there's no reason or excuse for commiting thought-crime. It's merely a question of self-discipline, reality-control. But in the end there won't be any need even for that. . . . Has it ever occcured to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?
George Orwell
Half the pictures directed by men of reputation fail.
Carroll O'Connor

Now this relaxation of the mind from work consists on playful words or deeds. Therefore it becomes a wise and virtuous man to have recourse to such things at times.
Thomas Aquinas
The Noblest form of Affection
Oscar Wilde
Not one Republican president has balanced the budget in 34 years. You can not trust Republicans with your money.
Howard Dean
Out there in some garage is an entrepreneur who’s forging a bullet with your company’s name on it.
Gary Hamel
Recipes are important but only to a point. What's more important than recipes is how we think about food, and a good cookbook should open up a new way of doing just that.
