An empty book is like an infant's soul, in which anything may be written. It is capable of all things, but containeth nothing. I have a mind to fill this with profitable wonders.

If we are going to the Silent City, you might want to get dressed. I mean, I appreciate the bra-and-panties look, but I don't know if the Silent Brothers will. There are only a few of them left, and I don't want them to die of excitement.

Cassandra Clare

The preparation, commitment and desire to win will be no less than the last time I drove a grand prix car in anger.

Nigel Mansell

The nature of power is such that even those who have not sought it, but have had it forced upon them, tend to acquire a taste for more.

Aldous Huxley

Professor William Buechner

Bad, quirky poetry might be better than some of the good stuff, because it really comes from the heart.

Cheryl Hines

There were no temples or shrines among us save those of nature.

Charles Eastman

It's like, if you can't focus on a movie for 90 minutes without looking at your phone, then don't go to the movies! You've got some issues, so you should probably stay home and work on those issues, and not distract everyone with lights, and sounds, oh my gosh, the tapping on the screens, it makes me crazy!

Ginnifer Goodwin

My dad is a really honest, hardworking, straight guy.

Joe Lando

May I repeat what I told you here: treat nature by means of the cylinder, the sphere, the cone, everything brought into proper perspective so that each side of an object or a plane is directed towards a central point. Lines parallel to the horizon give breadth... lines perpendicular to this horizon give depth. But nature for us men is more depth than surface, whence the need to introduce into our light vibrations, represented by the reds and yellows, a sufficient amount of blueness to give the feel of air.

Paul Cezanne, Letter to Emile Be

Science is but the exchange of ignorance for that which is another kind of ignorance.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

It is not the constitutional prerogative of the Government to determine needs.

David Mamet

Empowering the individual means empowering the nation. And empowerment is best served through rapid economic growth with rapid social change.
