I was alive when the Dead Sea was just a lake that was feeling a little poorly.

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.

Stephen King

In the end, nature is inexorable: it has no reason to hurry and, sooner or later, it takes what belongs to it. Unconsciously and inflexibly obedient to its own laws, it doesn't know art, just as it doesn't know freedom, just as it doesn't know goodness.

Ivan Turgenev

Herbert Simon

And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill? Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Kahlil Gibran

Everyone is more or less mad on one point.

Rudyard Kipling

Regardless of which candidate each of us supported as individuals, the only way to move forward is to move forward together.

J. PetitSenn

The movies I watch and the music I listen to and the books I read - those are important to me. It's very important to me, and I don't know what I would do without those things.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Our generation has an incredible amount of realism, yet at the same time it loves to complain and not really change. Because, if it does change, then it won't have anything to complain about.

Tori Amos

It is a sad thing when men have neither the wit to speak well nor the judgment to hold their tongues.

Jean de la Bruyere

To oblige persons often costs little and helps much.

Baltasar Gracian

I have nothing but respect for HBO.

James Gandolfini
