Believe me, I understand the need for easy and speedy. After a 12-hour day of shooting 'Chopped,' say, I'm talking stir-fry, spaghetti, heck, peanut-butter sandwiches. But that's not about the joy of food. That's survival.

My feelings for Ellen overrode all of my fear about being out as a lesbian. I had to be with her, and I just figured I'd deal with the other stuff later.

Portia de Rossi

O my Brothers! love your Country. Our Country is our home, the home which God has given us, placing therein a numerous family which we love and are loved by, and with which we have a more intimate and quicker communion of feeling and thought than with others; a family which by its concentration upon a given spot, and by the homogeneous nature of its elements, is destined for a special kind of activity.

Giuseppe Mazzini

They were kissing. Put like that, and you could be forgiven for presuming that this was a normal kiss, all lips and skin and possibly even a little tongue. You'd miss how he smiled, how his eyes glowed. And then, after the kiss was done, how he stood, like a man who had just discovered the art of standing and had figured out how to do it better than anyone else who would ever come along.

Neil Gaiman

Comedy is very hard, but you have to learn the art and science of it.

Marlon Wayans

When finally she finished and stood herself up, he put his arm around her, best-buddy style, and they walked on. There was no request for a kiss. Nothing like that. You can love Rudy for that, if you like.

Markus Zusak

Over the years, I've been trying to build a relationship with an audience. I've tried to maintain as much of a low profile as I could so that those characters would emerge and their relationship with audiences would be protected.

Kevin Spacey

In my youth I stressed freedom, and in my old age I stress order. I have made the great discovery that liberty is a product of order.

Will Durant

A large city cannot be experientially known; its life is too manifold for any individual to be able to participate in it.

Aldous Huxley

It were not best that we should all think alike it is the difference of opinion that makes horse races. - from Pudd'nhead Wilson

Mark Twain

This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted.

C. S. Lewis

When writing comedy, you have to have the confidence to believe that there is only one type of relationship in the world, and we are all having it, that all men behave in the same way and so do all women.

Steven Moffat

It is an altogether wrong idea that the modern product of civilization is less susceptible to love. I sometimes think it is the other way.

Henryk Sienkiewicz
