Elia Kazan understood my problems. He was able to bring out the very best in me. He gave me credit for my intelligence.

Man is so intelligent that he feels impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic.

Aldous Huxley

I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family, passionate relationships, dealing with 'who am I?' - those complications when one is searching for one's self.

Jeanne Moreau

But thoughts don't care about truth and shit. They sit up in your mind and fuck with you whenever.

Richard Pryor

Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind.

Robert Green Ingersoll

When your will is God's will, you will have your will.

Charles H. Spurgeon

Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.

Richard P. Feynman

Is it more probable that nature should go out of her course or that a man should tell a lie? We have never seen, in our time, nature go out of her course. But we have good reason to believe that millions of lies have been told in the same time. It is therefore at least millions to one that the reporter of a miracle tells a lie.

Thomas Paine

If my life were a song it would probably be titled 'Roller Coaster', up and down all the time.

Scotty McCreery

Science is incapable of supplying answers to ultimate questions about why things exist and what their purpose is.

Nicola Cabibbo

Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures; peace is our gift to each other.

Elie Wiesel, Nobel lecture, Oslo

How can I expect readers to know who I am if I do not tell them about my family, my friends, the relationships in my life? Who am I if not where I fit in the world, where I fit in the lives of the people dear to me?

Rabih Alameddine

Success is the one unpardonable sin against one's fellows.

Ambrose Bierce
