They were almond cookies, although they could have been made of spinach and shoes for all I cared. I ate eleven of them, right in a row. It is rude to take the last cookie.

If you have only 95 minutes of material, make an only 95-minute movie. Amazing how often that's forgotten.

Stephen Richards

One truth discovered is immortal, and entitles its author to be so; for, like a new substance in nature, it cannot be destroyed.

William Hazlitt

Anthony Robbins

For me, first, it's finding quiet in my life - and I do that through yoga and meditation. It's also been a matter of changing the way I eat, because I think what we eat can inform who we are food is a chemical and a drug to a certain extent.

Then we are assured by Sartre that owing to the final disappearance of God our liberty is absolute! At this the entire audience waves its hat or claps its hands. But this natural enthusiasm is turned abruptly into something much less buoyant when it is learnt that this liberty weighs us down immediately with tremendous responsibilities.
