I don't get angry very often. I lose my temper rarely. And when I do, there's always a legitimate cause. Normally I have a great lightness of being. I take things in a very happy, amused way.

The sky already fell. Now what?

Steven Wright

I am known for a life spent in the struggle for freedom, and freedom includes the freedom of religion.

Oriana Fallaci

There would seem to be a limit, even for an art preoccupied with boundaries and transgressions, beyond which a work reaches its breaking point and becomes an actual failure, a mere experimentation.

Brian Ferneyhough

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Terry Pratchett

Knightly love is blent with reverence As heavenly air is blent with heavenly blue.

George Eliot

Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith.

Thomas Carlyle

When I go into making a movie, personally, I don't try to bring other pieces of movies with me.

Amber Heard

My advice is to look out for engineers. They begin with sewing machines and end up with nuclear bombs.

Marcel Pagnol

My faith is the grand drama of my life. I'm a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colors for those who see none.

Olivier Messiaen

No more good must be attempted than the people can bear.

Thomas Jefferson

Art reduced to a skeleton, was the result. This was the advantage of this kind of wisdom and abstinence; the style was so sober that it became lean.

Victor Hugo
