When I contemplate the accumulation of guilt and remorse which, like a garbage-can, I carry through life, and which is fed not only by the lightest action but by the most harmless pleasure, I feel Man to be of all living things the most biologically incompetent and ill-organized. Why has he acquired a seventy years life-span only to poison it incurably by the mere being of himself? Why has he thrown Conscience, like a dead rat, to putrefy in the well?

The record of one's life must needs prove more interesting to him who writes it than to him who reads what has been written.

Working with Omarion is pretty amazing. That's like my brother. He's really cool.

Teyana Taylor

There is nothing on earth so easy as to forget, if a person chooses to set about it. I'm sure I have as much forgot your poor, dear uncle, as if he had never existed; and I thought it my duty to do so.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan

I just think that sports movies have such a built-in visceral, rooting interest, an epic win or lose redemptive quality. When they get it right, it can make for a really rousing movie experience.

Shawn Levy

For prying into any human affairs, non are equal to those whom it does not concern.

Victor Hugo

The great recipe for success is to work, and always work.

Leon Gambetta

We hear and apprehend only what we already half know.

Henry David Thoreau

It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.

Pablo Picasso

A brother is a friend provided by nature.

Legouve Pere

Travel gives me the opportunity to walk through the sectors of cities where one can clearly see the passage of time.

Jerzy Kosinski

I'm a food addict, that's my downfall.

Valerie Bertinelli

Capitalism is an art form, an Apollonian fabrication to rival nature. It is hypocritical for feminists and intellectuals to enjoy the pleasures and conveniences of capitalism while sneering at it. Everyone born into capitalism has incurred a debt to it. Give Caesar his due.
