There can be no assumption that today's majority is right and the Amish and others like them are wrong. A way of life that is odd or even erratic but interferes with no rights or interests of others is not to be condemned because it is different.

The difficult part in an argument is not to defend one's opinion, but rather to know it.

Andre Maurois

If there's one thing that really annoys a god, it's not knowing something.

Terry Pratchett

Let America first praise mediocrity even, in her children, before she praises... the best excellence in the children of any other land.

Herman Melville

As great as Ed is, the wisdom out here is that he can't carry a movie. They'll pay him $3 million to be the second banana in Julia Roberts things. But they won't put up $3 million for an Ed Harris movie.

George A. Romero

Equality, citizens, is not the whole of society on a level, a society of tall blades of grass and small oaks, or a number of entangled jealousies. It is, legally speaking, every aptitude having the same opportunity for a career; politically all consciences having the same right. Equality has an organ, gratuitous and compulsory education. We must begin with the right to the alphabet.

Victor Hugo

Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.

Maya Angelou

I think the rules are going to have to change for me to ever run for public office. My checkered past will always keep me out of politics.

Bruce Willis

I've become a less brave traveller since I became a dad, but in the past I was more foolhardy than brave.

David Mitchell

Love may precede respect but it cannot survive the loss of it.

Joe L. Wheeler

To be happy, make others happy.

Stephen Richards

I feel like I write songs for the future or something. Not in an arrogant way, but I feel like maybe my songs were, like, before their time or something.

Ellie Goulding

Like all pure creatures, cats are practical.

William S. Burroughs
