It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'try to be a little kinder.'

My movies were the kind they show in prisons and airplanes, because nobody can leave.

Burt Reynolds

We have to understand the world can only be grasped by action, not by comtemplation. The hand is more important than the eye....The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.

Jacob Bronowski

It's always ok to do the right thing. It's never ok to be a bully.

Magdalena VandenBerg

Love, by reason of its passion, destroys the in-between which relates us to and separates us from others. As long as its spell lasts, the only in-between which can insert itself between two lovers is the child, love's own product. The child, this in-between to which the lovers now are related and which they hold in common, is representative of the world in that it also separates them; it is an indication that they will insert a new world into the existing world. Through the child, it is as though the lovers return to the world from which their love had expelled them. But this new worldliness, the possible result and the only possibly happy ending of a love affair, is, in a sense, the end of love, which must either overcome the partners anew or be transformed into another mode of belonging together.

Hannah Arendt

We may smile at these matters, but they are melancholy illustrations.

Joseph Howe

Global warming isn't a prediction. It is happening.

James Hansen

That action alone is just that does not harm either party to a dispute

Mahatma Gandhi

The shades of night were falling fast,As though an Alpine village passedA youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice,A banner with the strange device,Excelsior!His brow was sad; his eye beneath,Flashed like a falchion from its sheath,And like a silver clarion rungThe accents of that unknown tongue,Excelsior!

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Exce

Fashion is a tyrant from which there is no deliverance; all must conform to its whimsical.

Proverb

I happen to dig being able to use whatever mystique I have to further the idea of peace.

Garrett Morris

I don't mind a little Sturm und Drang. When I was doing 'Riding in Cars With Boys,' I wouldn't smile at anybody, because my character, Bev, was angry at the world. I'm the opposite. Inside my head I'd be like, God, I'll explain to you at the end of shooting that I'm not this person.

Drew Barrymore

Some people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.
