A circle is a round straight line with a hole in the middle.

I think there are two different oceans - the one that plays with you in the summer, and the one that gets so mad in the winter.

Jodi Picoult

No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness.

Aristotle

Pain demands to be felt

John Green

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. Nothing is more keenly required than a defence of bores. When Byron divided humanity into the bores and bored, he omitted to notice that the higher qualities exist entirely in the bores, the lower qualities in the bored, among whom he counted himself. The bore, by his starry enthusiasm, his solemn happiness, may, in some sense, have proved himself poetical. The bored has certainly proved himself prosaic.

G. K. Chesterton, Heretics

To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age.

Amos Bronson Alcott

The thing is, if you control the Senate meetings, you control the gavel. And the gavel is a very important instrument... an instrument of power. An instrument that establishes the agenda.

Dan Quayle

A good deed is never lost. He who sows courtesy, reaps friendship; he who plants kindness, gathers love; pleasure bestowed on a grateful mind was never sterile, but generally gratitude begets reward.

St. Basil

I want to direct, write, produce... y'know, I love the entertainment industry.

Jason Marsden

A corner is important. It provides privacy and an anchor and lets you exist independently of the room.

Roger Ebert

I love sci-fi because it leads in the imagination, and I always say it has the most intelligent fans in the world.

Robert Carlyle

Fear is a huge thing for older people.

James Hillman

My soul is dark with stormy riot: directly traced over to diet.

Samuel Hoffenstein
