But the truth is that critics are by definition critical. That's their job.

I just can't wait for the future.

Amanda Seyfried

I long for the solitude of a sunset at sea,and the chill of the breezecoming in with the eve.For the motion of my boat,as she swings on her rode,and the beauty of the stars,in the evenings last glow.

R.C. Gibbons, I Long

Writing doesn't come real easy to me. I couldn't write a novel in a year. It wouldn't be readable. I don't let an editor even look at it until the second year, because it would just scare them. I just have to trust that all these scraps and dead-ends will find a way.

Charles Frazier

Lance Armstrong, the famous cyclist and more importantly, cancer survivor, has said 'if you ever get a second chance for something, you've got to go all the way.'

Michael N. Castle

I am a bit of a hopeless romantic. I really do have a faith and a belief in love, and when I love, I love hard.

Melanie Fiona

I hate the whole ubermensch, superman temptation that pervades science fiction. I believe no protagonist should be so competent, so awe-inspiring, that a committee of 20 really hard-working, intelligent people couldn't do the same thing.

Francoise Sagan

Of course I do not regret the Bond days, I regret that sadly heroes in general are depicted with guns in their hands, and to tell the truth I have always hated guns and what they represent.

Roger Moore

Civilized people cannot fully satisfy their sexual instinct without love

Bertrand Russell

To live is not breathing it is action.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

..the most dangerous animal in a zoo is Man.

Yann Martel
