Every man must get to Heaven his own way.

I wanted to learn everything I could about what it takes to be a great chef. It was a turning point for me.

Thomas Keller

Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.

Soren Kierkegaard

A nation is not conquered which is perpetually to be conquered.

Edmund Burke

We must make immigration a legal, orderly process to eliminate this issue, not further criminalize it.

Jose Serrano

Men are swayed more by fear than by reverence.

Aristotle

The truth is a trap: you can not get it without it getting you; you cannot get the truth by capturing it, only by its capturing you.

Søren Kierkegaard

There are no real personalities apart from God. Until you have given up your self to Him you will not have a real self. Sameness is to be found most among the most 'natural' men, not among those who surrender to Christ. How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerers have been; how gloriously different are the saints.But there must be a real giving up of the self. You must throw it away 'blindly' so to speak. Christ will indeed give you a real personality; but you must not go to Him for the sake of that. As long as your own personality is what you are bothering about you are not going to Him at all. The very first step is to try to forget about the self altogether. Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him...Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ, and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.

C.S. Lewis

I'd love to do a modern-day musical that's full of original music. To get your contemporaries to sing and dance without looking foolish and for it to be transformational and magical and all those things a musical is supposed to be.

Danny Boyle

To the pure geometer the radius of curvature is an incidental characteristic - like the grin of the Cheshire cat. To the physicist it is an indispensable characteristic. It would be going too far to say that to the physicist the cat is merely incidental to the grin. Physics is concerned with interrelatedness such as the interrelatedness of cats and grins. In this case the cat without a grin and the grin without a cat are equally set aside as purely mathematical fantasies.

Sir Arthur Eddington, The Expand

That willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Reading without purpose is sauntering not exercise.

Edward George BulwerLytton

It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life, not having to think about anything.

Julie Walters
