Alexander at the head of the world never tasted the true pleasure that boys of his own age have enjoyed at the head of a school.

It's too expensive, that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. It is too expensive to make movies. That's not true, it is too expensive to market movies. Making movies is not.

Kevin Smith

I didn't miss training because it had become so painful for me. I filled the void pretty quickly as I went straight into coaching and it was great I had to start learning all over again, and then when I went into TV I knew nothing about it so I had to start from the very beginning.

Jo Durie

Every flower is a soul blossoming in Nature.

Gerard De Nerval

Over and over, we hear politicians say they can't spend our tax dollars on environmental protection when the economy is so fragile.

David Suzuki

The real opportunity for success lies within the person and not in the job.

Zig Ziglar

High moral character is not a precondition for great moral accomplishments.

Christopher Hitchens

Having a thirteen-year-old in the family is like having a general-admission ticket to the movies, radio and TV. You get to understand that the glittering new arts of our civilization are directed to the teen-agers, and by their suffrage they stand or fall.

Max Lerner

Science is itself one of the modifications of amour-propre, the love of inequality.

Allan Bloom

The notion of this universe, its heavens, hells, and everything within it, as a great dream dreamed by a single being in which all the dream characters are dreaming too, has in India enchanted and shaped the entire civilization. The ultimate dreamer is Vishnu floating on the cosmic Milky Ocean, couched upon the coils of the abyssal serpent Ananta, the meaning of whose name is Unending. In the foreground stand the five Pandava brothers, heroes of the epic Mahabharata, with Draupadi, their wife: allegorically , she is the mind and they are the five senses. They are those whom the dream is dreaming. Eyes open, ready and willing to fight, the youths address themselves to this world of light in which we stand regarding them, where objects appear to be distinct from each other, and an Aristotelian logic prevails, and A is not not-A. Behind them a dream-door has opened, however, to an inward, backward dimension where a vision emerges against darkness...

Joseph Campbell, The Mythic Imag

I've never missed a gig yet. Music makes people happy, and that's why I go on doing it - I like to see everybody smile.

Buddy Guy

Nothing gives you confidence like being a member of a small, weirdly specific, hard-to-find demographic.
