For a dinner date, I eat light all day to save room, then I go all in: I choose this meal and this order, and I choose you, the person across from me, to share it with. There's a beautiful intimacy in a meal like that.

In nature nothing can be given. All things are sold.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Having played many roles of scientific intellect I do have an empathy for that world. It's been hard on me because flying the Enterprise for seven years in Star Trek and sitting in Cerebro in X-men has led people to believe that I know what I'm talking about. But I'm still trying to work out how to operate the air conditioning unit on my car.

Patrick Stewart

A man cannot be made comfortable without his own approval.

Mark Twain

Hate can only flourish where love is absent.

William C. Menninger

Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

And the joy of it all; when we count it all up; is found in the making of friends.

Throughout my life, I have seen narrow-shouldered men, without a single exception, committing innumerable stupid acts, brutalizing their fellows and perverting souls by all means. They call the motive for their actions fame.

Isidore Ducasse Lautreamont

You know, the period of World War I and the Roaring Twenties were really just about the same as today. You worked, and you made a living if you could, and you tired to make the best of things. For an actor or a dancer, it was no different then than today. It was a struggle.

James Cagney

You can never have a revolution in order to establish a democracy. You must have a democracy in order to have a revolution.

G. K. Chesterton

Its the moment you think you can't that you realize you can.

Celine Dion

She knows more of love than the poets can say, and her eyes offer something that won't go away.

Harry Chapin

A house divided cannot stand.

Abraham Lincoln
