There is a certain kind of respect for authenticity today that there wasn't back in the days when they did 'Cleopatra,' where everything looked like a giant motel. People want to have it be authentic in the look, and authentic in the way people behave.

It is after all the greatest art to limit and isolate oneself.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Lying is the new truth.

B. Cameron Lee

Unfortunately, what many people forget is that judges are just lawyers in robes.

I had a birthday party with my family and friends at a house, and Chipotle catered. It was beautiful.

Ansel Elgort

Are we so made that we have to take death in small doses daily or we could not go on with the business of living?

Virginia Woolf

I was in two episodes playing Christopher Reeve's character's emissary. They wanted to have my character announce Dr Swan's death, which I thought was exploitative.

Margot Kidder

We may give advice, but not the sense to use it.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

William Cowper

It's a lie to think you're not good enough. It's a lie to think you're not worth anything.

Nick Vujicic

Individualism, as a definition of holding to personal ideals, is classed as obstinacy and anti-social. Inevitably we run point blank into the evils of compromise. When compromise enters our moral fiber, it spreads like a cancerous growth. We think we plan adequate safeguards around areas in which we contemplate yielding our standards, but once we lower the fence and break our strong will to do right, come what may, we expose ourselves to forces that spread beyond control. Compromise always starts on some rather insignificant principle. The dangers of yielding seem negligible and we usually risk those things first where observation and detection by others is difficult. We thus seek to avoid censure and discipline. In a short time we find ourselves trading our principles for false values and doing it in the black market of human relationships. . . .

Ralph W. Hardy

It wasn't until after private lessons and learning bass lines that I even noticed bass in the music I was listening to at that age. My ears were blown wide open.

Trevor Dunn

Too much attention to health is a hindrance to learning, to invention, and to studies of any kind, for we are always feeling suspicious shootings and swimmings in our heads, and we are prone to blame studies from them.

Plato
