Were I to commence my administration again, the first question I would ask respecting a candidate would be, Does he use ardent spirits?

As for me, prizes are nothing. My prize is my work.

Katharine Hepburn

And who understands? Not me, because if I did I would forgive it all.

Ernest Hemingway

The ocean is a wilderness reaching round the globe, wilder than a Bengal jungle, and fuller of monsters, washing the very wharves of our cities and the gardens of our sea-side residences.

Henry David Thoreau, The Writing

The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it.

Dudley Moore

When a man touches a woman's body, he is not just touching her body. It goes MUCH DEEPER than that for a woman. He is touching parts of her soul-parts as diverse as how she feels about being a grandmother some day, to what is her favorite ice cream, to how much she loves her pet, and to her opinion of how the current President is governing. The man wants a sexual encounter and love is far from his mind; she desires permanence, commitment, safety, and security.

Jim Anderson

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Khalil Gibran

Everyone should have a moment with Ron Howard in their life to give you faith in our industry.

Sally Kirkland

You can find lots of people like you through technology, and women in particular like communities.

Carly Fiorina

Prosperity is a way of living and thinking, and not just money or things. Poverty is a way of living and thinking, and not just a lack of money or things.

Eric Butterworth

There are no tragedies, just facts not recognized in time.

William D. Montapert

The postmodern reply to the modern consists of recognizing that the past, since it cannot really be destroyed, because its destruction leads to silence, must be revisited: but with irony, not innocently. I think of the postmodern attitude as that of a man who loves a very cultivated woman and knows he cannot say to her, I love you madly, because he knows that she knows (and that she knows that he knows) that these words have already been written by Barbara Cartland. Still, there is a solution. He can say, As Barbara Cartland would put it, I love you madly.

Umberto Eco

Just as we could have rode into the sunset, along came the Internet, and it tripled the significance of the PC.
