Being in Blur has allowed me to travel and hear the music that's being made all over the world.

His life was a sort of dream, as are most lives with the mainspring left out.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.

Francis Pharcellus Church

Intellectual 'work' is misnamed; it is a pleasure, a dissipation, and is its own highest reward. The poorest paid architect, engineer, general, author, sculptor, painter, lecturer, advocate, legislator, actor, preacher, singer, is constructively in heaven when he is at work; and as for the magician with the fiddle-bow in his hand, who sits in the midst of a great orchestra with the ebbing and flowing tides of divine sound washing over him - why, certainly he is at work, if you wish to call it that, but lord, it's a sarcasm just the same. The law of work does seem utterly unfair - but there it is, and nothing can change it: the higher the pay in enjoyment the worker gets out of it, the higher shall be his pay in cash also.

Mark Twain

It was when I found out I could make mistakes that I knew I was on to something.

Ornette Coleman

I used my imagination to make the grass whatever color I wanted it to be.

Whoopi Goldberg

No manager ever won no ballgames.

Sparky Anderson

Come, come, leave business to idlers, and wisdom to fools: they have need of 'em: wit be my faculty, and pleasure my occupation, and let father Time shake his glass.

William Congreve

A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.

Jack London

Sleep is not on good terms with broken hearts. It will have nothing to do with them.

Christopher Pike

My success and my misfortunes, the bright and the dark days I have gone through, everything has proved to me that in this world, either physical or moral, good comes out of evil just as well as evil comes out of good.

Giacomo Casanova

Where parents do too much for their children, the children will not do much for themselves.

Elbert Hubbard

I was terribly shy when I was growing up, I really wasn't confident with other people and I think I was always afraid of up or not being this very cool, amazing person that I wanted to be.

Emily Mortimer
