Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.

Those who have been too long at their labor, who have drunk too long at the cup of voluptuousness, who feel they have become temporarily inhumane, who are tormented by their families, who find life sad and love ephemeral; they should all eat chocolate and they will be comforted.

JeanAnthelme BrillatSavarin

Education is too important to be left solely to the educators.

Francis Keppel

The more science discovers and the more comprehension it gives us of the mechanisms of existence, the more clearly does the mystery of existence itself stand out.

Aldous Huxley

Wherever there is a design that is highly successful in a broad range of similar environments, it is apt to emerge again and again, independently - the phenomenon known in biology as convergent evolution. I call these designs 'good tricks.'

Daniel Dennett

The truth is, as every one knows, that the great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man -- that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense -- has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman.

H. L. Mencken

I found my niche as a character actor, and I've never felt like a movie star or teen idol and never wanted to.

Vincent D'Onofrio

I'm a journeyman actor, and I don't ever want to forget that. With romantic-lead dreams.

William Sanderson

We usually never got out of there before four or five o'clock in the morning. Every morning. So it was rough.

Cab Calloway

Rock 'n Roll is monotony tinged with hysteria.

Vance Packard

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

Charles Dickens

If you spend your life competing with business men, what do you have? A bank account and ulcers!

Marilyn Monroe

Promptitude is not only a duty, but is also a part of good manners; it is favorable to fortune, reputation, influence, and usefulness; a little attention and energy will form the habit, so as to make it easy and delightful.
