Gore Vidal

An excellent man; he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Oscar Wilde

One of my movies was called 'True Lies.' It's what the Democrats should have called their convention.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Write without pay until somebody offers to pay you. If nobody offers within three years, sawing wood is what you were intended for.

Mark Twain

I never set out to become 'famous.' I mean, when you're 14 you think 'I'm gonna become a writer and people will want my autograph and that'll be cool,' but you grow up and you learn that's just not how the world works. I resigned myself to the fact that I would probably never be published and if I did it probably wouldn't be a big deal.

Patrick Rothfuss

Everybody denies I am a genius --but nobody ever called me one!

Orson Welles

First, President Reagan was not enthusiastic. But I built up a relationship with him in other areas and then persuaded him that this was important to us and to me, and that we had to at least be in the process of looking at this seriously.

Brian Mulroney

This relationship is going to be built on trust.

Marla Maples

In order to keep my creativity alive, I just try to enjoy life to the fullest.

G-Dragon

The intelligence failures with respect to Iraq were massive and have damaged our credibility around the world.

Carl Levin

Bertrand Russell

Dear Alec

Cassandra Clare
