I was absolutely speechless. The most beautiful man I had ever seenIN MY ENTIRE LIFE, just said I was beautiful. I blushed when the reality hit me, and boy, did it hit me hard.

Many of us seem to live our lives looking for happiness. That is not always a bad thing, but it can be if we continually believe that happiness is someplace else and not in the present.

Barbara Barrington Jones

A sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier times.

Alfred Tennyson

A God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but fate and nature.

Alexander Pope

Remember: the average is as close to the bottom as it is to the top.

If I wanted to be famous, I could have been famous before.

David Gest

Edible. Good to eat and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm.

Ambrose Bierce

Young people, who are beginners in everything, cannot yet know love: they have to learn it.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Madeleine Albright has said that there is 'a special place in hell for women who don't help each other.' What are the implications of this statement? Would it be an argument in favor of the candidacy of Mrs. Clinton? Would this mean that Elizabeth Edwards and Michelle Obama don't deserve the help of fellow females? If the Republicans nominated a woman would Ms. Albright instantly switch parties out of sheer sisterhood? Of course not. (And this wearisome tripe from someone who was once our secretary of state ...)

Christopher Hitchens

Each morning my characters greet me with misty faces willing, though chilled, to muster for another day's progress through the dazzling quicksand the marsh of blank paper.

John Updike

The glory of young men is their strength, and the beauty of old men is their gray head.

Bible

There's been a slow death in a way. On the positive side, there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldn't have, but on the negative side, financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I can't count the ways a director's vision is compromised.

Lili Taylor

Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing to be able to dare!

Fyodor Dostoevsky
