Always remember, there are two types of people in this world. Those who come into a room and say, Well, here I am! and those who come in and say, Ah, there you are!

I think one of the coolest things about the job is the level of trust we have for each other. The actors fully trust that the writers will write amazing episodes, and the writers trust that the actors will follow their instincts with the characters.

John Krasinski

Most are engaged in business the greater part of their lives, because the soul abhors a vacuum and they have not discovered any continuous employment for man's nobler faculties

Henry David Thoreau

ARSENIC, n. A kind of cosmetic greatly affected by the ladies, whom it greatly affects in turn.Eat arsenic? Yes, all you get, Consenting, he did speak up;'Tis better you should eat it, pet, Than put it in my teacup. --Joel Huck

Ambrose Bierce

The opera is to music what a bawdy house is to a cathedral.

H. L. Mencken

Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drive into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark.

Samuel Johnson

Ah, love, let us be trueTo one another! for the world, which seemsTo lie before us like a land of dreams,So various, so beautiful, so new,Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;And we are here as on a darkling plainSwept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,Where ignorant armies clash by night.

Matthew Arnold

A runner must run with dreams in his heart, not money in his pocket.

Emil Zatopek

To try to write a grand cosmical drama leads necessarily to myth. To try to let knowledge substitute ignorance in increasingly larger regions of space and time is science.

Hannes Alfven

You must live for another if you wish to live for yourself.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.

Abraham Maslow

I have watched them all day and they are the same men that we are. I believe that I could walk up to the mill and knock on the door and I would be welcome except that they have orders to challenge all travelers and ask to see their papers. It is only orders that come between us. Those men are not fascists. I call them so, but they are not. They are poor men as we are. They should never be fighting against us and I do not like to think of the killing.

Ernest Hemingway

Ta ta and adios. Or, as Saint Peter said to me with a sly wink, when I told him I was on my last-round trip to Paradise: See you later, Alligator.

Kurt Vonnegut
