Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities -- always see them, for they're always there.

This is where you will win the battle -- in the playhouse of your mind.

Maxwell Maltz

I do not believe the picture that some people paint of Scottish towns dependent on welfare. Every time I come here, I meet people who are determined to get into work. Who, with the right help are desperate to get off benefits, support their family and set an example for their children.

Iain Duncan Smith

I have got two reasons for success and I'm standing on both of them.

Betty Grable

Reality is, you know, the tip of an iceberg of irrationality that we've managed to drag ourselves up onto for a few panting moments before we slip back into the sea of the unreal.

Terence McKenna

If a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation.

Andrew Fletcher, Conversation Co

Jean Genet

My parents moved to American Samoa when I was three or four years old. My dad was principal of a high school there. It was idyllic for a kid. I had a whole island for a backyard. I lived there until I was eight years old and we moved to Santa Barbara.

Eric Stoltz

When you get to play a character that's in love, it's cool.

Josh Hutcherson

This Revolution is genuine because it was born from the same womb that always gives birth to massive social upheavals - the womb of intolerable conditions and unendurable situations.

Martin Luther King Jr.

All the times I've been lucky enough to be a part of a show that's actually gotten on the air, it's always that same mixture of excitement and utter fear.

J. J. Abrams

You are only as wise as others perceive you to be.

M. Shawn Cole

Guilt is often an appropriate response to wrongdoing, but punishment impedes the development of a conscience by taking away the opportunity for him to feel guilty. He has no chance to develop inner motivation.
