The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.

It is interesting to note how many of the great scientific discoveries begin as myths.

Rollo May

True glory lies in noble deeds.

Art is nature speeded up and God slowed down.

Malcolm De Chazal

In reading the scriptures of truth, we often put wrong constructions upon them, and apply them improperly; and I apprehend it has often been the case in relation to this portion, particularly that part in relation to man's seeking out many inventions.

Elias Hicks

That figure stood for a long time wholly in the light; this arose from a certain legendary dimness evolved by the majority of heroes, and which always veils the truth for a longer or shorter time; but to-day history and daylight have arrived.That light called history is pitiless; it possesses this peculiar and divine quality, that, pure light as it is, and precisely because it is wholly light, it often casts a shadow in places where people had hitherto beheld rays; from the same man it constructs two different phantoms, and the one attacks the other and executes justice on it, and the shadows of the despot contend with the brilliancy of the leader. Hence arises a truer measure in the definitive judgments of nations. Babylon violated lessens Alexander, Rome enchained lessens Caesar, Jerusalem murdered lessens Titus, tyranny follows the tyrant. It is a misfortune for a man to leave behind him the night which bears his form.

Victor Hugo

Films for TV have to be much closer to the book, mainly because the objective with a TV movie that translates literature is to get the audience, after seeing this version, to pick up the book and read it themselves. My attitude is that TV can never really be any form of art, because it serves audience expectations.

Michael Haneke

Music is an art that expresses the inexpressible. It rises far above what words can mean or the intelligence define. Its domain is the imponderable and impalpable land of the unconscious.

Charles Munch

Most people are satisfied with the junk food being sold as music.

Billy Joel

Counting is the religion of this generation it is its hope and its salvation.

Gertrude Stein

The principle of art is to pause, not bypass.

Jerzy Kosinski

Tears are the symbol of the inability of the soul to restrain its emotion and retain its self command.

Henri Frederic Amiel

I have never accepted what many people have kindly said-namely that I inspired the nation. Their will was resolute and remorseless, and as it proved, unconquerable. It fell to me to express it.

Sir Winston Churchill
