Employment is nature's physician, and is essential to human happiness.

Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

My liege, and madam, to expostulateWhat majesty should be, what duty is, Why day is day, night night, and time is time,Were nothing but to waste night, day and time.Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,I will be brief.

William Shakespeare

At the School of Visual Arts in New York, you can get your degree in Net art, which is really a fantastic way of thinking of theater in new ways.

Laurie Anderson

It's sad, actually, because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age.

Amanda Seyfried

If a secret history of books could be written, and the author's private thoughts and meanings noted down alongside of his story, how many insipid volumes would become interesting, and dull tales excite the reader!

William Makepeace Thackeray

A new lens to look through. Hear the pain in people's speaking. People who have an ear to hear can hear. You will no longer tolerate what you used to tolerate. A second point of reality. Declare a new future. There are no right answers. There is no is. Give people breakdowns. It's the loving thing to do. What's being revealed here? Dogs don't have things wrong. Wrong disempowers people. Upsets indicate a right that's been violated. Notice when you are angry that you are the only one around. The only constant thing is you. Business is made up. It's invented. We invent our world through language. If it really turns you on, you may want to inform your face. There is no right way. A chair is only a chair because we say it's a chair.

Mal Pancoast

The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.

Rick Warren

Few things are brought to a sucessful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought.

Napoleon Bonaparte

I fantasize about having a manual job where I can come home at night, read a book and not feel responsible for what will happen the next day.

Jodie Foster

You never kill anyone you want to kill in a war, he said to himself.

Ernest Hemingway

Men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage - they've experienced pain and bought jewelry.

Rita Rudner

I have friends who have a CD mastering plant in Hollywood and they are very sceptical about European record labels' understanding of digital technology.
