If the world despises you because you do not follow its ways, pay no heed to it. But be sure your way is right.
When I've gone back to work, it's always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion, but it's the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I can't avoid this thing. I better just get on with it.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I'm neutral on lying, seeing as how there's times when the truth just hurts people.
Orson Scott Card
I just want to be rich and famous.
Ian Hart
Great, big, serious novels always get awards. If it's a battle between a great, big, serious novel and a funny novel, the funny novel is doomed.
Neil Gaiman
Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die do not outlive yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
Reading is more of a left-brain process, and listening to music is a right-brain function.
Maynard James Keenan
I align myself with almost all researchers in assuming that anything we do is a composite of whatever genetic limitations were given to us by our parents and whatever kinds of environmental opportunities are available.
Howard Gardner
Injustice in the end produces independence.
Voltaire
I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens.
Russell Simmons
He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
Albert Einstein
I do not so much rejoice that God hath made me to be a Queen, as to be a Queen over so thankful a people.
Elizabeth I
if no one alive love you, then do you really exist at all?
Cassandra Clare
The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.
Ninon De L'Enclos
From the depth of need and despair, people can work together, can organize themselves to solve their own problems and fill their own needs with dignity and strength.
Cesar Chavez
Our defense is not in our armaments, nor in science, nor in going underground. Our defense is in law and order.
It is curious that, with my somewhat antinomian tendencies, I should have gone to Trinity Hall - which was, and is, before all a Law College - and should thus have been thrown into close touch with the legal element in life.
Edward Carpenter
Katy was neither a Methodist nor a Masochist. She was a goddess and the silence of goddesses is genuinely golden. None of your superficial plating. A solid, twenty-two-carat silence all the way through. The Olympian's trap is kept shut, not by an act of willed discretion, but because there's really nothing to say. Goddesses are all of one piece. There's no internal conflict in them. Whereas the lives of people like you and me are one long argument. Desires on one side, woodpeckers on the other. Never a moment of real silence.
Aldous Huxley
Design works if it's authentic, inspired, and has a clear point of view. It can't be a collection of input.
Ron Johnson
A purpose, an intention, a design, strikes everywhere even the careless, the most stupid thinker.
David Hume
Death is woven in with the violets, said Louis. Death and again death.)
Virginia Woolf
Various channels of dialogue must be kept open to build trust. I will meet North Korea's leader if it is needed to develop relations between the two Koreas.
Park Geun-hye
You can accomplish much if you don't care who gets the credit.
Ronald Reagan
The arts are weapons of understanding and weapons of happiness.
Richard Eyre
The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die.
Edward Kennedy
Man, when perfected, is the best of animals, but when separated from law and justice, he is the worst of all.
Aristotle
People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.
Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.
Abraham Lincoln
The thing about Republicans is that they don't care so much about respect, but they love fear, at least in others.
Jane Smiley
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.
A. A. Milne
Jesus, it is true, shows no personal interest in gain, but he does speak of treasure in heaven and even of mansions as an inducement to follow him. Is it not further true that all religions down the ages have shown a keen interest in the amassment of material goods in the real world?
Christopher Hitchens
No, I love Montreal... I think I love Montreal more than Montreal loves me... I love the food there.
Kathy Griffin
We have to judge politicians by their cumulative score. In one innings they make a great catch, in another they drop the ball. In one they score a home run, in another they strike out. But it is their cumulative batting average that we are interested in.
Jesse Jackson
Courage is what preserves our liberty, safety, life, and our homes and parents, our country and children. Courage comprises all things.
Plautus
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
Buddha
The worst thing that an actor can do is go into any project with a lack of respect for the material. You can have an opinion about it, but you have to respect yourself in doing it.
Alfred Molina
You desire that which exceeds my humble powers, but I trust in the compassion and mercy of the All-powerful God.
Saint Stephen
Not matter what your sacred or religious book is, it's not how well you know the book, it's how well you're in alignment with the author.
