It is difficult, if not impossible, to argue that laws written in the 1970s are adequate for today's intelligence challenges.

I will come to you, my friend, when I no longer need you. Then you will find a palace, not an almshouse.

Henry David Thoreau

Akin to the idea that time is money is the concept, less spoken but as commonly assumed, that we may be adequately represented by money. The giving of money has thus become our characteristic virtue. But to give is not to do. The money is given in lieu of action, thought, care, time.

Wendell Berry

Sometimes, you start with the drawing and then the gag comes to you in the middle of it. That is when you start working on the solution of the gag, which is composition, placing, equilibrium, and character design.

Sergio Aragones

He that has one eye is a prince among those that have none.

Thomas Fuller

You get somebody to crack a smile, that's a beautiful thing.

Tracy Morgan

La lassitude est la fin des actes d'une vie machinale, mais elle inaugure en même temps le mouvement de la conscience. Elle l'éveille et elle provoque la suite. La suite, c'est le retour inconscient dans la chaîne, ou c'est l'éveil définitif. Au bout de l'éveil vient avec le temps, la conséquence: suicide ou rétablissement.

Albert Camus

Conscience is a mother-in-law whose visit never ends.

H. L. Mencken

I started walking at night with my sister in law which has been amazing. It really does something for you. It just kind of clears the mind, it just makes you feel better, things start to tighten a little bit.

Ashley Scott

What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That's what their substance is.

Jonathan Miller

My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.

Parker Posey

I tried the Atkins diet in the Seventies when pregnant with my son, as I didn't want to pile on the pounds. Now, so long as I'm healthy, I don't care what my scales say.

Britt Ekland

I love to go to the playground and watch the children jumping up and down. They don't know I'm firing blanks.
