I don't think I've had a holiday in my entire life that wasn't about my dad's work.

Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present. For what one has lived is at best comparable to a beautiful statue which has had all its limbs knocked off in transit, and now yields nothing but the precious block out of which the image of one's future must be hewn.

Walter Benjamin

The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the Press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.

Octavio Paz

Flying dreams mean that you're doing the right thing with your life.

Doug Coupland

Sufficient to each day are the duties to be done and the trials to be endured. God never built a Christian strong enough to carry today's duties and tomorrow's anxieties piled on the top of them.

Theodore L. Cuyler

Benjamin Disraeli

I'm always open to a relationship, but I'm not putting those feelers out there now.

Charlize Theron

It's pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness poverty and wealth have both failed.

Kin Hubbard

A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.

Vince Lombardi

He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.

George Orwell

My mom, Irmelin, taught me the value of life. Her own life was saved by my grandmother during World War II.

Leonardo DiCaprio

I love women more than anything.

Vin Diesel

Bread is like dressed, hats and shoes -- in other words, essential!

Emily Post
