Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.

The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.

Herbert Spencer

The torpid artist seeks inspiration at any cost, by virtue or by vice, by friend or by fiend, by prayer or by wine.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Scientists rightly resist invoking the supernatural in scientific explanations for fear of committing a god-of-the-gaps fallacy (the fallacy of using God as a stop-gap for ignorance). Yet without some restriction on the use of chance, scientists are in danger of committing a logically equivalent fallacy-one we may call the chance-of-the-gaps fallacy. Chance, like God, can become a stop-gap for ignorance.

William A. Dembski

The Bible is a mass of fables and traditions, mere mythology

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

A gesture cannot be regarded as the expression of an individual, as his creation (because no individual is capable of creating a fully original gesture, belonging to nobody else), nor can it even be regarded as that person's instrument; on the contrary, it is gestures that use us as their instruments, as their bearers and incarnations.

Milan Kundera

Ultimately, to have a career in movies, to a certain extent, certainly in England, you can't sustain a career in just English movies.

Clive Owen

O how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole world while we are living.

Philip II

The real satisfaction which praise can afford, is when what is repeated aloud agrees with the whispers of conscience, by showing us that we have not endeavored to deserve well in vain.

Samuel Johnson
