I believe in broken, fractured, complicated narratives, but I believe in narratives as a vehicle for truth, not simply as a form of entertainment, though I love entertainment, but also a way of conveying what needs to be conveyed about the works that I care about.

Help is not help until it is given, so turn your intentions to help into acts of help. We judge ourselves by our intentions, but others judge us by our actions.

Lee J. Colan, Orchestrating Atti

Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Here I am trying to live, or rather, I am trying to teach the death within me how to live.

Jean Cocteau

Boy is my wife stupid. It takes her and hour and a half to watch 60 minutes. My daughters no bargain either. In public school she was voted most likely to conceive.

Rodney Dangerfield

I just want to be loved, is that so wrong?!

Harvey Fierstein

If I had no family, my wife and I would lead a much more romantic and nomadic existence.

David McCallum

The Senator from Wisconsin cannot frighten me by exclaiming, My country, right or wrong. In one sense I say so too. My country; and my country is the great American Republic. My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.

Carl Schurz

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

Epicurus

What a marvelous cooperative arrangement - plants and animals each inhaling each other's exhalations, a kind of planet-wide mutual mouth-to-stoma resuscitation, the entire elegant cycle powered by a star 150 million kilometers away.

Carl Sagan

A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.

William Wordsworth

The beginning, middle, and end of the birth, growth, and perfection of whatever we behold is from contraries, by contraries, and to contraries; and whatever contrariety is, there is action and reaction, there is motion, diversity, multitude, and order, there are degrees, succession and vicissitude.

Giordano Bruno

I'm one of those people who thinks that changing one's hair is the only part of the body that you can change at will.

Hillary Clinton
