Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them.

Everything changes your life.

Melanie Tem

I think the people who are making Christmas-themed movies today feel that people are more cynical about Christmas. There's more of an edge.

Leonard Maltin

I didn't find my friends; the good Lord gave them to me.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sex is excitement, seeks satisfaction and soon loses interest - selfishness. Making love is passionate, fulfilling and does not look for an end - selflessness.

Barry Long

As a Member of Congress, I've continued my family's tradition of focusing on education.

Mark Kennedy

Under the general name of Commodity, I rank all those advantages which our senses owe to nature. This, of course, is a benefit which is temporary and mediate, not ultimate, like its service to the soul. Yet although low, it is perfect in its kind, and is the only use of nature which all men apprehend. The misery of man appears like childish petulance, when we explore the steady and prodigal provision that has been made for his support and delight on this green ball which floats him through the heavens. What angels invented these splendid ornaments, these rich conveniences, this ocean of air above, this ocean of water beneath, this firmament of earth between? this zodiac of lights, this tent of dropping clouds, this striped coat of climates, this fourfold year? Beasts, fire, water, stones, and corn serve him. The field is at once his floor, his work-yard, his play-ground, his garden, and his bed.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Commodity,

We're not uncomfortable with it, and we've already been through enough of the music business where I'm not really worried that commercial success is going to in some way - we're already past saving, you know what I mean? It's too late for us.

Jerry Garcia

Learning is its own exceeding great reward.

William Hazlitt

We are nauseated by the sight of trivial personalities decomposing in the eternity of print.

Virginia Woolf

I don't think actors should ever expect to get a role, because the disappointment is too great. You've got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition's an opportunity to have an audience.

Al Pacino

It's sad when people break up.

Pete Townshend

Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ASK. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds.

Anne Rice
