The word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

Perhaps one of the most important accomplishments of my administration has been minding my own business.

Calvin Coolidge

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.

Albert Einstein

The benefits of science are not only material ones. The truths that science teaches are of common interest the world over. The language of science is universal, and is a powerful force in bringing the peoples of the world closer together.

Arthur Compton

A few years back I was more a candidate for skid row bum than an Emmy. If I hadn't stopped drinking, I'd be playing handball with John Belushi right now.

John Larroquette

Well, of course I think people can be forgiven. But our justice system is not set up to dispense forgiveness. You can go to the local priest for that.

Nancy Grace

Red sky at night, the city's alight.

Terry Pratchett

Economics is a subject that does not greatly respect one's wishes.

Nikita Khrushchev

Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.

Charles Dickens

I've never believed that pop music is escapist trash. There's always a darkness in it, even amidst great pop music.

Thom Yorke

I'm not after fame and success and fortune and power. It's mostly that I want to have a good job and have good friends that's the good stuff in life.

Drew Barrymore

When the telephoned me at home on Valentine's Day 1989 to ask my opinion about the Ayatollah Khomeini's , I felt at once that here was something that completely committed me. It was, if I can phrase it like this, a matter of everything I hated versus everything I loved. In the hate column: dictatorship, religion, stupidity, demagogy, censorship, bullying, and intimidation. In the love column: literature, irony, humor, the individual, and the defense of free expression. Plus, of course, friendship though I like to think that my reaction would have been the same if I hadn't known Salman at all. To re-state the premise of the argument again: the theocratic head of a foreign despotism offers money in his own name in order to suborn the murder of a civilian citizen of another country, for the offense of writing a work of fiction. No more root-and-branch challenge to the values of the Enlightenment (on the bicentennial of the fall of the Bastille) or to the First Amendment to the Constitution, could be imagined. President George H.W. Bush, when asked to comment, could only say grudgingly that, as far as he could see, no American interests were involved

Christopher Hitchens

I would love to work with Anthony Hopkins I would love to work with Meryl Streep I would love to work with DeNiro I would love to work with Johnny Depp I'd love to work with Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow... I think she's amazing.
