The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist's way of scribbling Kilroy was here on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.

My life is my message.

Mahatma Gandhi

I actually use a computer a lot. I have three computers that I use on a regular basis - one is on my desk top in my Washington office, another is at home, and I have my laptop that I use when I'm travelling.

Rick Boucher

There's no such thing as an actor giving positive criticism to a director. The minute you say 'Don't you think it would look nicer...', that director's going to hate your guts. Particularly if it's a good idea.

Peter Mullan

Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top.

Timothy Leary

The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. Let us spend our lives in conceiving then. The poet or the artist never yet had so fair and noble a design but some of his posterity at least could accomplish it.

Henry David Thoreau

I love to lose myself in a mystery to pursue my reason to an O altitudo.

Thomas Browne

Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our powers.

Mignon McLaughlin

The whole visible world is only an imperceptible atom in the ample bosom of nature. No idea approaches it.

Blaise Pascal

Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort.

Helen Gurley Brown

Holding a grudge

Steve Maraboli

I say grace. I'm a big believer in grace. I happen to believe in a God that made all the food and so I'm pretty grateful for that and I thank him for that. But I'm also thankful for the people that put the food on the table.

Alton Brown

Everyone goes to the same exhibitions and the same parties, stays in the same handful of hotels, eats at the same no-star restaurants, and has almost the same opinions. I adore the art world, but this is copycat behavior in a sphere that prides itself on independent thinking.
