It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.

Rollo May

People talk about mumblecore but I prefer bumblecore, hyper-realistic bee movies about how bees really are.

Mindy Kaling

The distance between the present system and our proposal is like comparing the distance between a Model T and the space shuttle. And I should know I've seen both.

Ronald Reagan

If thou fill thy brain with Boston and New York, with fashion and covetousness, and wilt stimulate thy jaded senses with wine and French coffee, thou shalt find no radiance of wisdom in the lonely waste of the pinewoods

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.

Raymond Chandler

A racially integrated community is a chronological term timed from the entrance of the first black family to the exit of the last white family.

Saul Alinsky

Always have your hook baited, in the pool you least think, there will be a fish.

Ovid

Art has a double face, of expression and illusion, just like science has a double face: the reality of error and the phantom of truth.

Publilius Syrus

The miracle of life is given by One greater than ourselves, but once given, each life is ours to nurture and preserve, to foster, not only for today's world but for a better one to come. There is no purpose more noble than for us to sustain and celebrate life in a turbulent world, and that is what we must do now. We have no higher duty, no greater cause as humans. Life and the preservation of freedom to live it in dignity is what we are on this Earth to do. Everything we work to achieve must seek that end so that some day our prime ministers, our premiers, our presidents, and our general secretaries will talk not of war and peace, but only of peace.

Ronald Reagan

I could be making a lot more money now if I had chosen a different kind of movie, but none of that matters to me... I've done the parts I wanted to do.

Jessica Lange

The male sex still constitute in many ways the most obstinate vested interest one can find.

Lord Longford

Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.

William Saroyan
