Education at school continues what has been done at home: it crystallizes the optical illusion, consolidates it with book learning, theoretically legitimizes the traditional trash and trains the children to know without understanding and to accept denominations for definitions. Astray in his conceptions, entangled in words, man loses the flair for truth, the taste for nature. What a powerful intellect must you possess, to be suspicious of this moral carbon dioxide and with your head swimming already, to hurl yourself out of it into the fresh air, with which, into the bargain, everyone round is trying to scare you!

The wisest prophets make sure of the event first.

Horace Walpole

I knew that by getting behind the wheel of the car and having had something to drink, the responsibility laid on my shoulders.

Tracey Gold

I think everyone who makes movies should be forced to do television. Because you have to finish. You have to get it done, and there are a lot of decisions made just for the sake of making decisions. You do something because it's efficient and because it gets the story told and it connects to the audience.

Joss Whedon

The road to success is lined with many tempting parking spaces

Amidst the confusion of the times, the conflicts of conscience, and the turmoil of daily living, an abiding faith becomes an anchor to our lives.

Thomas S. Monson

There's a whole lot more to the African-American community than entertainment and sports.

J. C. Watts

It's critical that the manager has the respect of players so he can make the moves that he feels is appropriate without having somebody go to the papers. They respect you. So you respect them back.

Dale Murphy

Acting is not about anything romantic, not even fantasy, although you do create fantasy.

James Earl Jones

One has a greater sense of degradation after an interview with a doctor than from any human experience.

Alice James

The more respect that objects, customs, or laws are given, the more attentively you must question the right these things have to this respect.

Leo Tolstoy

Men do less than they ought, unless they do all that they can.

Thomas Carlyle

If on the other hand we found even one reader to whom the cheap little book with its double columns and the lurid daub on its cover had been a lifelong delight, who had read and reread it, who would notice, and object, if a single word were changed, then, however little we could see in it ourselves and however it was despised by our friends and colleagues, we should not date to put it beyond the pale.

C.S. Lewis
