Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience

George Washington

Joan Baez

Here's my rule: You always want to pay cash for your own books, because if they look at the name on the credit card and then they look at the name on the book jacket, then there's this look of such profound sympathy for you that you had to resort to this. It really is withering.

Carl Hiaasen

Jane Austen

I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.

Daniel Day-Lewis

If you cannot learn to love real art at least learn to hate sham art.

William Morris

Joan Fontaine
