...beneath torrents of spring rain, buds come to life - and we do too, beneath torments of tears...

'Funny People' is my favorite performance of myself to date. Even though it's a comedy and there are serious moments, I really felt like Leo felt like a real person. It didn't feel like I was playing myself. Whether it's a comedy or drama, I just try to make it as realistic as possible.

Jonah Hill

I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this Government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.

Sir Winston Churchill

Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other.

Anton Chekhov

People love to say we get paid a lot of money to play a game, but it stopped being a game when you start getting paid.

Curt Schilling

The essence of living is discovering. Indeed, it is the joy of discovery that makes life worth the effort.

Vijay Krishna

I'm a huge, huge sports fan, and Marquette basketball is my No. 1 thing.

Danny Pudi

My mother is a great source of advice and wisdom and consolation for me.

Katherine Heigl

This activist loves Oregon more than he loves life.

Tom McCall

So much of the language of love was like that: you devoured someone with your eyes, you drank in the sight of him, you swallowed him whole. Love was substance, broken down and beating through your bloodstream.

Jodi Picoult

My mom didn't ever think I would take to acting because I was a very shy, very reserved kind of child. But obviously, something changed!

Abigail Breslin

The life of Man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible foes, tortured by weariness and pain, towards a goal that few can hope to reach, and where none may tarry long. One by one, as they march, our comrades vanish form our sight, seized by the silent orders of omnipotent Death. Very brief is the time in which we can help them, in which their happiness or misery is decided. Be it ours to shed sunshine on their path, to lighten their sorrows by the balm of sympathy, to give them the pure joy of a never-tiring affection, to strengthen failing courage, to instill faith in times of despair.

Bertrand Russell

The separation of state and church must be complemented by the separation of state and science, that most recent, most aggressive, and most dogmatic religious institution.

Paul Karl Feyerabend
