I can see the humorous side of things and enjoy the fun when it comes; but look where I will, there seems to me always more sadness than joy in life.

To give aid to every poor man is far beyond the reach and power of every man. Care of the poor is incumbent on society as a whole.

Baruch Spinoza

For years, it's driven me crazy that women don't have better roles, especially in comedies. I know so many funny women but I always felt... misogynist streak is too strong a term - but a dismissiveness.

Paul Feig

When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.

Anais Nin, The Diaries of Ana

Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.

Pablo Picasso

The idea of capitalism is not just success but also the failure that allows success to happen.

P. J. O'Rourke

The advantages found in history seem to be of three kinds, as it amuses the fancy, as it improves the understanding, and as it strengthens virtue.

David Hume

Legionary life is beautiful, not because of riches, partying or the acquisition of luxury, but because of the noble comradeship which binds all Legionaries in a sacred brotherhood of struggle.

Corneliu Zelea Codreanu

In every truth, the beneficiaries of a system cannot be expected to destroy it.

A. Philip Randolph

It was an amazing performer. Very temperamental, it spent a lot of time in its trailer.

Tilda Swinton

Few of us have vitality enough to make any of our instincts imperious.

George Bernard Shaw

When famous people come up to you it's a bit weird, but it's an honour, really, when they recognise you and want to chat to you for a bit.

Wayne Rooney

Strange combination, isn't it--gratitude and resentment? But this is the way I think. Actually, I think everybody thinks that way. Even the children of the humans who died long ago, I think they lived their lives holding similar contradictory thoughts about their parents. They were raised to learn about love and death, and they lived out their lives passing from the sunny spots to the shady spots of this world.
