Climbing hills was never one of my great ambitions. Perhaps I was just lazy, but I admit--now that I've been climbing a hill every other day--that it's very difficult to think about the stresses in your life while you're trying to avoid falling backwards when a goat with large horns is chasing you because you came too close to the little patch of grass he was planning to eat for breakfast.

We have such a long, familiar history with Peter Falk. The minute his mug is on that screen people smile.

Paul Reiser

I honestly believed I would make it. I had the desire. A lot of people have the ability, but they don't put forth the effort.

Joe Carter

Intelligent, thinking people could take things like this in their stride, just as they took the larger absurdities of deadly dull jobs in the city and deadly dull homes in the suburbs. Economic circumstances might force you to live in this environment, but the important thing was to keep from being contaminated. The important thing, always, was to remember who you were.

Richard Yates

We need no science of formulae, but a science of forms.

Viktor Schauberger

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.

Steve Jobs

Aging is an inevitable process. I surely wouldn't want to grow younger. The older you become, the more you know your bank account of knowledge is much richer.

William Holden

I'm not fascinated by one particular case, but by knowledge that I had no idea was out there.

Shannon Miller

There is no odor so bad as that which arises from goodness tainted.

Henry David Thoreau

I'm obsessed with the 1920s, everything from the style to the lifestyle. It was a really cool era.

Lauren Conrad

Just the actual physical ability to hold four instruments simultaneously and do some of the things that Vivien was able to do is mind blowing to any surgeon. He never went to medical school and he became one of the great teachers of medicine himself, people are just amazed.

Mary Stuart Masterson

A king should die on his feet.

Louis XVIII

Congratulations, you have a sense of humor. And to those who didn't: Go stick your head in the mud.

Jesse Ventura
