I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies, everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene.

The past empowers the present, and the sweeping footsteps leading to this present mark the pathways to the future.

Mary Catherine Bateson

Not much shocked me. You know, I worked in a home for Alzheimer's patients and my dad used to be really into murders and stuff, so I saw dead bodies. It desensitised me to a lot of things.

Ellie Goulding

Not the torturer will scare me, nor the body's final fall, nor the barrels of death's rifles, nor the shadows on the wall, nor the night when to the ground the last dim star of pain, is hurled but the blind indifference of a merciless, unfeeling world.

Roger Waters

But this didn't like magic. It felt a lot older than that. It felt like music.

Terry Pratchett

Way down deep, we're all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them.

Jim Davis

Suffering shapes the life force, sometimes into anger, sometimes into blame and self-pity. Eventually it may show us the wisdom of embracing and loving life.

Rachel Naomi Remen

My dad would give me $10, which is a lot of money when you're 9, to sing at church, on tables at restaurants, at family functions, just about anywhere.

Katy Perry

So if I was dating somebody now and the relationship didn't work out, I'd take that as failing.

Gavin DeGraw

A government of laws, and not of men.

John Adams

As you grow older, your whole life becomes very rich, multifaceted.

Francesca Annis

I should have learned this, she thought. I wanted to learn fire, and pain, but I should have learned people.

Terry Pratchett

For movies to get greenlit solely based on the success of other movies that have a lot of women in them? It's so ridiculous to me.
