Call not that man wretched, who whatever ills he suffers, has a child to love.

Don't tell me peace has broken out.

Bertolt Brecht

Let thy speech be better than silence, or be silent.

Dionysius of Halicarnassus

Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space.

Ansel Adams

Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.

Jackie Chan

When we sat down on the couch again, you curled up against my side, like you used to when you were a toddler. What I wanted to say to you, but didn't, was this:

Jodi Picoult

The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Everyone has a photographic Memory, some just don't have film.

Steven Wright

I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend...I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend...

Neil Gaiman

I am your fairy tale. Your dream. Your wishes and desires, and I am your thirst and your hunger and your food and your drink.

Klaus Kinski

Hal Borland

When superstition is allowed to perform the task of old age in dulling the human temperament, we can say goodbye to all excellence in poetry, in painting, and in music.

Denis Diderot

You can say a lot of things about Alabama, but you can't say that Alabamans as a people are unduly afraid of deep fryers.

John Green
