When I was 19, I made my first good week's pay as a club musician. It was enough money for me to quit my job at the factory and still pay the rent and buy some food. I freaked.

This whole time, I wasn't waiting for something in particular. Just someone who wanted me.Not sex.But me.

Only the really plain people know about love --the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they very soon exhaust their talents.

Katharine Hepburn

You know what's funny to me? Attitude.

Don Rickles

The dust of many crumbled cities settles over us like a forgetful doze, but we are older than those cities. We began as a mineral. We emerged into plant life and into the animal state, and then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we slightly recall being green again. That's how a young person turns toward a teacher. That's how a baby leans toward the breast, without knowing the secret of its desire, yet turning instinctively. Humankind is being led along an evolving course, through this migration of intelligences, and though we seem to be sleeping, there is an inner wakefulness that directs the dream, and that will eventually startle us back to the truth of who we are.

Rumi, The Dream That Must Be Int

The universe is so vast and ageless that the life of one man can only be measured by the size of his sacrifice.

Eternity is in love with the productions of time.

William Blake

Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

When I was growing up, the men in my life were abusive; women were the ones I ran to for comfort.

Kevyn Aucoin

The question was whether James would love me if I was someone else.

Barbara Delinsky

Every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required.

Jane Austen

The solid, middle-class values of hard work, responsibility, family, community, and faith my father talked about tirelessly from Iowa to New York, he lived at home. The hopes he had for his family and for me, he had for all Americans. I think Americans understood this.
