You have to enjoy life. Always be surrounded by people that you like, people who have a nice conversation. There are so many positive things to think about.

Obviously, my life and my job in 2010 is very different from Peggy's experience in the 1960s. I exist in a world that enjoys more equality between men and women. But I don't take any of that into my performance. I just want to play the character as who she is as an individual - scene to scene.

Elizabeth Moss

Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

...congenital killers and criminals are possessed of not one but two Y chromosomes, bearing a double dose, as it were, of genetically undesirable maleness.

Elizabeth Gould Davis, The First

Beauty is in the heart of the beholder.

Al Bernstein

His form was of the manliest beauty, His heart was kind and soft; Faithful below he did his duty, But now he 's gone aloft.

Charles Dibdin

Doubt is a creature within the air. It grows when someone hesitates.

Toba Beta

I worked in a pet store and people kept asking how big I'd get.

Rodney Dangerfield

Banks have a new image. Now you have 'a friend,' your friendly banker. If the banks are so friendly, how come they chain down the pens?

Alan King

Belief sloshes around in the firmament like lumps of clay spiralling into a potter's wheel. That's how gods get created, for example. They clearly must be created by their own believers, because a brief resume of the lives of most gods suggests that their origins certainly couldn't be divine. They tend to do exactly the things people would do if only they could, especially when it comes to nymphs, golden showers, and the smiting of your enemies.

Terry Pratchett

Keeping baggage from the past will leave no room for happiness in the future.

Wayne L. Misner

In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.

Susan Sontag

If honesty did not exist, we ought to invent it as the best means of getting rich.

Gabriel Riqueti Mirabeau
