Charm is the quality in others that makes us more satisfied with ourselves.

I was an only child. I lost both my parents. By the time I was twenty I was bald. I'm homosexual. In the way of circumstances and background to transcend I had everything an artist could possibly want. It was practically a blueprint. I was programmed to be a novelist or a playwright. But I'm not.

Alan Bennett

In the tumult of men and events, solitude was my temptation now it is my friend. What other satisfaction can be sought once you have confronted History?

Charles de Gaulle

A Woman is home caring for her children! even if she can't. Trapped in this well-built trap, A Woman blames her mother for luring her into it, while ensuring that her own daughter never gets out; she recoils from the idea of sisterhood and doesn't believe women have friends, because it probably means something unnatural, and anyhow, A Woman is afraid of women. She's a male construct, and she's afraid women will deconstruct her. She's afraid of everything, because she can't change. Thighs forever thin and shining hair and shining teeth and she's my Mom, too, all seven percent of her. And she never grows old.

Ursula K. LeGuin

Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed.

Sister Corita Kent

I'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet.

Brian Eno

Power is a word the meaning of which we do not understand.

Leo Tolstoy

I love these movies where it's just about the film. You don't have my face on the poster. It's all about the movie. I like that.

John Cusack

It all starts with the script: it's not worth taking myself away from my family if I don't have something I'm really passionate about.

Steven Spielberg

What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god -- the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals!

William Shakespeare

The customer is the final inspector.

When one man speaks to another man who doesn't understand him, and when the man who's speaking no longer understands, it's metaphysics.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic uninterestingness as an intellectual position. Where was the ingenuity, the ambiguity, the humanity (in the Harvard sense) of saying that the universe just happened to happen and that when we're dead we're dead?
