Every job from the heart is, ultimately, of equal value. The nurse injects the syringe; the writer slides the pen; the farmer plows the dirt; the comedian draws the laughter. Monetary income is the perfect deceiver of a man's true worth.

I'm not mad about movies, there are too many people involved in the making of them, and they lack a definitive creative focus.

David Bailey

Only the minute and the future are interesting in fashion -- it exists to be destroyed. If everybody did everything with respect, you'd go nowhere.

Karl Lagerfeld

One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.

John Wanamaker

Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.

Theodore Roosevelt

Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and play hard.

Colin Powell

The other major issue you have no doubt heard about the decision to build a fence between Israel and the palestinians. There is no doubt in my mind that a fence will be built, political pressure are too heavy to resist. There is also no doubt that it will be ineffectual. Every day thousands of Palestinians enter Israel illegally. The vast majority seek work. The tide of humanity will overwhelm the fence and its guardians. Terrorists will follow in their path.

Elan Pavlov

There was certainly less profanity in the Godfather than in the Sopranos. There was a kind of respect. It's not that I totally agreed with it, but it was a great piece of art.

Danny Aiello

To understand one woman is not necessarily to understand any other woman.

John Stuart Mill

Whoso belongs only to his own age, and reverences only its gilt Popinjays or smoot-smeared Mumbojumbos, must needs die with it.

Thomas Carlyle

It is not merely the likeness which is precious... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think -- and it is not at all monstrous in me to say that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist's work ever produced.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Kids now are so used to surround sound and the power in theater speakers, that the concert hall is a disappointment to them.

David Ogden Stiers

I think that both men, Bush and Blair, will be damned in history. Both men have made their respective countries the two most hated countries in the world.
