It was depressing, very depressing. I worried about how I would make a living. I didn't want to stay on the farm. It didn't offer the challenge I wanted and yet, without a college education, I felt that I was really out of luck.

It's a funny thing about life: if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

W. Somerset Maugham

The day is not far off when the economic problem will take the back seat where it belongs, and the arena of the heart and the head will be occupied or reoccupied, by our real problems -- the problems of life and of human relations, of creation and behavior and religion.

John Maynard Keynes

I don't think we're going to save anything if we go around talking about saving plants and animals only we've got to translate that into what's in it for us.

Jim Fowler

While you're improvising, you may come up with something which will break him up. As soon as that smile comes out, you know that, hey, we're having fun.

Shelley Berman

A good lawyer is a bad Christian.

John Lothrop Motley

The antiquity and general acceptance of an opinion is not assurance of its truth.

Pierre Bayle

Oh shit, the mummy's after us, let's all walk a little faster

Stephen King

I'll be here in my home with three big screens. I'll be watching three games at a time, and when they're over, I'll look at three more.

Hayden Fry

I hope the Guggenheim plan will be revived.

David Rockefeller

The word change, so dear to our Europe, has been given a new meaning: it no longer means a new stage of coherent development (as it was understood by Vico, Hegel or Marx), but a shift from one side to another, from front to back, from the back to the left, from the left to the front (as understood by designers dreaming up the fashion for the next season).

Milan Kundera

No wise combatant underestimates their antagonist.

Johann von Goethe

I worked on my voice for Sweet Dreams, but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy's actual singing voice. That was my way into that character.

Jessica Lange
