It's amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.

Marriage requires a special talent, like acting. Monogamy requires genius.

Warren Beatty

The aura of the theocratic death penalty for adultery still clings to America, even outside New England, and multiple divorce, which looks to the European like serial polygamy, is the moral solution to the problem of the itch. Love comes into it too, of course, but in Europe we tend to see marital love as an eternity which encompasses hate and also indifference: when we promise to love we really mean that we promise to honor a contract. Americans, seeming to take marriage with not enough seriousness, are really taking love and sex with too much.

Anthony Burgess

Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.

Thomas Szasz

You can ask me pretty much anything. There'll be things I'll go, 'That feels a little too personal.' But most things I don't have a fear of being asked about.

Nicole Kidman

Then said a teacher , speak to us of teaching . And he said :The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple among his followers gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.The astronomer may spaeak to you of his understanding of space , but he cannot give you his understanding.The musician may sing to you of the rythem which is in all space , but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rythem nor the voice that echoes it .And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure , but he cannot conduct you thither .For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man .

Kahlil Gibran

Actors always talk about taking their work home and I always think: 'What are you on? You just turn it off. You are at work and then you go home.'

Bill Nighy

Happiness is working with Jack Lemmon.

Billy Wilder

When I was in college, I was debating to try my hand at show business, or to become a professor. I just thought of the risk of not going into show business and always wondering if I would've had a chance. Because that's where my real heart was.

Steve Martin

From the beginning, there have been some religious leaders who greeted the funding of faith-based social services by government with ambivalence.

Tony Campolo

Where there is life there is wishful thinking.

Gerald F. Lieberman

The truth is like a nipple: the more you twist it, the more somebody is going to get hurt.

Jarod Kintz

When we're alive, life consumes us. But when we die, all of the color and the motion is gone so quickly, it's as though it can no longer stand to be wasted on us.
