Every night, half an hour before curtain up, the bells of St. Malachy's, the Actors' Chapel on New York's 49th Street, peal the tune of 'There's No Business Like Show Business.' If you walk the streets of the theatre district before a show and see the vast, enthusiastic lines it sounds like a calling: there is certainly no place like Broadway.

Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed.

Mark Twain

As a coach you can influence the diet of your players. You can point out what is wrong.

Arsene Wenger

To insist on purity is to baptize instinct, to humanize art, and to deify personality.

Guillaume Apollinaire

But the problem is that when I go around and speak on campuses, I still don't get young men standing up and saying, 'How can I combine career and family?'

Gertrude Stein

..there has been 32 isms since the advent of cubism, yet after all there are essentially the same two old strings, the Romantic and the Classical. We've just be confused by the storm. Science and psychology have played a great part to say nothing of sex.

Mark Tobey

Don't judge men's wealth or godliness by their Sunday appearance.

Benjamin Franklin

Every major religion today is a winner in the Darwinian struggle waged among cultures, and none ever flourished by tolerating its rivals.

E. O. Wilson

Brute force crushes many plants. Yet the plants rise again. The Pyramids will not last a moment compared with the daisy. And before Buddha or Jesus spoke the nightingale sang, and long after the words of Jesus and Buddha are gone into oblivion the nightingale still will sing. Because it is neither preaching nor commanding nor urging. It is just singing. And in the beginning was not a Word, but a chirrup.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

My father said When in doubt, castle.

Kurt Vonnegut

I write best in the morning, and I can only write for about half a day, that's about it.

Norton Juster

It has become necessary for me to have this woman, so as to save myself from the ridicule of being in love with her: for to what lengths will a man not be driven by thwarted desire?

Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
