If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

What you have now is a Hollywood that is pure poison. Hollywood was a central place in the history of art in the 20th century: it was human idealism preserved. And then, like any great place, it collapsed, and it collapsed into the most awful machinery in the world.

Emir Kusturica

It's a reality that in this business there's an expectation of being thin. But having a baby is a reality too, and it's more important for me to make milk than to fit into those tiny pants. So that's just going to have to wait.

Emily Procter

I am free of all prejudices. I hate every one equally.

W. C. Fields

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Thomas Jefferson

We didn't have a whole lot of money when I was growing up either. I would always ask for magic books or magic tricks for my birthday or for Christmas and the rest of the year I either had to mow lawns or find part time jobs to help supplement the cost of doing magic.

Lance Burton

One cannot really be a Catholic and grown up.

George Orwell

The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.

Elbert Hubbard

The love of beauty in its multiple forms is the noblest gift of the human cerebrum.

Alexis Carrel

Racism is one of the worst forms of torture because it's directed at something you never asked for and something you can't change.

Paolo Nutini

A nation is a detour of nature to arrive at five or six great men- yes, and then to get around them.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Live all you can: it's a mistake not to. It doesn't matter what you do in particular, so long as you have had your life. If you haven't had that, what have you had?

Henry James

I saw how many people were poor and how many kids my age went to school hungry in the morning, which I don't think most of my contemporaries in racially segregated schools in the South thought very much about at the time.
