William F. Buckley, Jr.

We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgment.

If your lot makes you cry and be wretched, get rid of it and take another; strike out for yourself; don't listen to the shriek of your relations...don't be afraid of public opinion in the shape of the neighbours in the next house, when all the world is before you new and shining, and everything is possible, if you will only be energetic and independent and seize opportunity by the scruff of the neck.

Billy Graham

The paradox of love is that to have it is to want to preserve it because it's perfect in the moment but that preservation is impossible because the perfection is only ever an instant passed through.

Jack Schwartz

Dad almost died of a heart attack in the middle of making Apocalypse Now, the biggest movie of his life. It doesn't make you want to jump into that business.

Charlie Sheen

You have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by. Yes, but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.

James Barrie
