Well I'd really love to work with Robert De Niro, because he's still the most talented actor out there.
No one asks you to throw Mozart out of the window. Keep Mozart. Cherish him. Keep Moses too, and Buddha and Lao Tzu and Christ. Keep them in your heart. But make room for the others, the coming ones, the ones who are already scratching on the window-panes.
Henry Miller
To me, what I love about the draft is first, you see the young men who are realizing their dreams that they've worked so hard for. That's a pretty cool thing. You saw the emotion from some of these guys the other day. And then, the second thing is this total sense of hope and optimism. And, I think that's great for everybody.
Roger Goodell
The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.
I think a lot of people are frightened of technology and frightened of change, and the way to deal with something you're frightened of is to make fun of it. That's why science fiction fans are dismissed as geeks and nerds.
Iain Banks
I didn't have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon; it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, time enough, let's say, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing!
And I feel that we in our society should not be held by any such myth that we should do everything we can to gain a delight and joy in our society with all the available parts of the palette.
Minoru Yamasaki
I will never again go to people under false pretenses even if it is to give them the Holy Bible. I will never again sell anything, even if I have to starve. I am going home now and I will sit down and really write about people.
It isn't the oceans which cut us off from the world -- it's the American way of looking at things.
A lot of those little things that I really like doing are just moments of cool articulation, just little moments of phrasing that probably go over everybody's head.
Steve Vai
Who hates the Jews more than the Jew?
One of my dreams in life is to do fund-raising for the youth.
Picabo Street
Sin, guilt, neurosis --they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be.
Origen
Topographically the country is magnificent -- and terrifying. Why terrifying? Because nowhere else in the world is the divorce between man and nature so complete. Nowhere have I encountered such a dull, monotonous fabric of life as here in America. Here boredom reaches its peak.
I don't really plan to be a pop star I just want to be able to make music without the whole My Dad thing hanging over me, which everyone in my position goes through.
Dhani Harrison
The real leader has no need to lead -- he is content to point the way.
A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart.
Jonathan Swift
It does me good to write a letter which is not a response to a demand, a gratuitous letter, so to speak, which has accumulated in me like the waters of a reservoir.
The more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose.
Thornton Wilder
If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.
Thomas Paine
One can be absolutely truthful and sincere even though admittedly the most outrageous liar. Fiction and invention are of the very fabric of life.

Andrew Weil
Whatever you are, be a good one.
Abraham Lincoln
Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets.

Bruce Froemming
All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.
Aldous Huxley
What is not in the open street is false, derived, that is to say, literature.
I want to serve chess through games, books that are works of art. I would like to bring the game closer to many people all over the world.
Garry Kasparov
It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.
Jerry Seinfeld
Madness is tonic and invigorating. It makes the sane more sane. The only ones who are unable to profit by it are the insane.
I think we are living in selfish times. I'm the first one to say that I'm the most selfish. We live in the so-called 'first world,' and we may be first in a lot of things like technology, but we are behind in empathy.
Javier Bardem
The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order.
I knew that there were black people in Africa, of course, unfortunately because of movies such as 'Tarzan.'
