We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.

When men can no longer be theists, they must, if they are civilized, become humanists.

Walter Lippmann

Alain de Botton, On Love

That's what keeps me going: dreaming, inventing, then hoping and dreaming some more in order to keep dreaming.

Joseph Barbera

It's important to e alive in those moment, especially when you're doing something you love to do.

Jenifer Lewis

Total physical and mental inertia are highly agreeable, much more so than we allow ourselves to imagine. A beach not only permits such inertia but enforces it, thus neatly eliminating all problems of guilt. It is now the only place in our overly active world that does.

John Kenneth Galbraith

Bertolt Brecht

Tomorrow do thy worst, I have lived today.

John Dryden

Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.

Phil Collins

You can take a chance with any man who pays his bills on time.

Terence

Lewis Mumford
