Depression is the most unpleasant thing I have ever experienced. . . . It is that absence of being able to envisage that you will ever be cheerful again. The absence of hope. That very deadened feeling, which is so very different from feeling sad. Sad hurts but it's a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel. Depression is very different.

The dirtiest book in all the world is the expurgated book

Walt Whitman

Governing today means giving acceptable signs of credibility. It is like advertising and it is the same effect that is achieved -- commitment to a scenario.

Jean Baudrillard

Among the children of God, it was they who were most able to rightly divide the word of truth.

John Nelson Darby

Nothing is more beautiful than the love that has weathered the storms of life. The love of the young for the young, that is the beginning of life. But the love of the old for the old, that is the beginning of things longer.

Jerome K. Jerome

The world rolls round forever like a mill; it grinds out death and life and good and ill; it has no purpose, heart or mind or will.

James Thomson

I hope people don't compare 2D and 3D because 3D's new, it's unfair to compare to 2D which is really sophisticated, even when we're jaded about it. 3D just began, give it a chance, let the equipment and projection system catch up and be better, let the price go down, let more filmmakers get a hold of it more easily.

Ang Lee

Undeservedly you will atone for the sins of your fathers.

Horace

I am enjoying writing the last book in the series and it's coming along nicely.

J.K. Rowling

I want the municipality to be a helping hand to the man with a desire of sympathy, to help the fallen when it is not in their power to help themselves.

John Burns

Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage.

Theodore Roosevelt

If you try to do your best there is no failure.

Mike Farrell

A man without a vote is man without protection.

Lyndon B. Johnson
