Nicolas Cage

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

Dalai Lama

It was also my idea that the advisory committees of the Academy should replace the legal committees of the German Reichstag, which was gradually fading into the background in the Reich.

Marilyn Monroe

I still love following and thinking about politics. I enjoy recommending important journalism I read or see from other sources.

Dan Rather

Some of the writers I admire who seem very, very funny and very emotional to me can develop a closeness with the reader without giving too much of themselves away. Lorrie Moore comes to mind, as does David Sedaris. When they write, the reader thinks that they're being trusted as a friend.

Sloane Crosley

Tim Roth

Be still when you have nothing to say when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.

David Herbert Lawrence
