He was conscious of nothing except the blankness of the page in front of him, the itching of the skin above his ankle, the blaring of the music, and a slight booziness caused by the gin.

I'll let you in on a secret: I can't stand Jay Ward. I hate being compared to Rocky and Bullwinkle. It's just a different style of humor.

John Kricfalusi

Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of all men than all the infidelity that has ever been spoken.

George MacDonald

Talking about food is like talking about your dreams. Everyone has something to say. We all have to eat, it's just what we eat which differs. Some people eat for fuel and I feel bad for them.

Gael Garcia Bernal

The right to be alone -- the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized man.

Louis D. Brandeis

A culture is like an immune system. It operates through the laws of systems, just like a body. If a body has an infection, the immune system deals with it. Similarly, a group enforces its norms, either actively or passively.

Henry Cloud

Your children will smash your understanding, knowledge and reality. You will be better off. Then they will leave. You'll miss them forever.

Tibor Kalman

There had always been a conflict in me between mystery and meaning. I had pursued tha latter, worshipped the latter as a doctor. As a socialist and rationalist. But then I saw that the attempt to scientize reality, to name it and categorize it and vivisect it out of existence, was like trying to remove the air from the atmosphere. In the creating of the vacuum it was the experimenter who died, because he was inside the vacuum.

John Fowles

If I were beginning my career today, I don't think I would take the same direction. Television is at a crossroads at the moment.

David Attenborough

Undernourished, intelligence becomes like the bloated belly of a starving child: swollen, filled with nothing the body can use.

Andrea Dworkin

The man whose whole activity is diverted to inner meditation becomes insensible to all his surroundings. If he loves, it is not to give himself, to blend in fecund union with another being, but to meditate on his love. His passions are mere appearances, being sterile. They are dissipated in futile imaginings, producing nothing external to themselves.

Emile Durkheim

The enemy is Resistance.

Steven Pressfield

Mine is better than ours.

Benjamin Franklin
