It's very easy for me to say what success is. I think success is connecting with an audience who understands you and having a dialogue with them. I think success is continuing to push yourself forward creatively and not sort of becoming a caricature of yourself.

And secondly, I would impose a significant state landfill tipping fee and use that tipping fee to fund the billion dollar bond issue that I want to create to produce the funds for all of the environmental challenges that we just went over.

Ed Rendell

If you see with innocent eyes, everything is divine.

Federico Fellini

I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Frank Carson

The necessary has never been man's top priority. The passionate pursuit of the nonessential and the extravagant is one of the chief traits of human uniqueness. Unlike other forms of life, man's greatest exertions are made in the pursuit not of necessities but of superfluities.

Eric Hoffer

International relationships are preordained to be clumsy gestures based on imperfect knowledge.

Rebecca West

I don't do what I'm doing to fight terror. ... I do it because I care about kids. Fighting terror is maybe seventh or eighth on my list of priorities. But working over there, I've learned a few things. I've learned that terror doesn't happen because some group of people somewhere like Pakistan or Afghanistan simply decide to hate us. It happens because children aren't being offered a bright enough future that they have a reason to choose life over death.

Greg Mortenson

The climate, the economic situation, rising birth rates none of these things give me a lot of hope or reason to be optimistic.

David Attenborough

We are all the walking wounded in a world that is a war zone. Everything we love will be taken from us, everything, last of all life itself. Yet everywhere I look, I find great beauty in this battlefield, and grace and the promise of joy.

Dean Koontz

Between us, we cover all knowledge; he knows all that can be known and I know the rest.

Mark Twain

Happy the man who can endure the highest and the lowest fortune. He, who has endured such vicissitudes with equanimity, has deprived misfortune of its power.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

When you live on the road, going home is a place to escape and just be with your family to unwind.

Jonathan Davis

But language is wine upon his lips

Virginia Woolf
