When everyone around you is doing all this incredible pirate acting and you're having to sort of play the straight guy and move the story forward, you kind of want to be doing some of that pirate ripping it up stuff, but in truth, to be a part of that project is what I love.

It just proves good movies don't need 100 million dollars to be good.

Emily Blunt

Nothing is more disgusting than the crowing about liberty by slaves, as most men are, and the flippant mistaking for freedom of some paper preamble like a Declaration of Independence, or the statute right to vote, by those who have never dared to think or to act.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Having been an educator for so many years I know that all a good teacher can do is set a context, raise questions or enter into a kind of a dialogic relationship with their students.

Godfrey Reggio

To die for one's country is such a worthy fate that all compete for so beautiful a death.

Pierre Corneille

The first symptom of love in a young man is timidity; in a girl, boldness.

Victor Hugo

To see and listen to the wicked is already the beginning of wickedness.

Confucius

I have personal beliefs and they are sometimes reflected in the movies I make, but I also reflect other points of view.

Tim Robbins

The love of property and consciousness of right and wrong have conflicting places in our organization, which often makes a man's course seem crooked, his conduct a riddle

Abraham Lincoln

Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.

William Blake

People who exercise their embryonic freedom day after day, little by little, expand that freedom. People who do not will find that it withers until they are literally being lived. They are acting out scripts written by parents, associates and society.

Stephen Covey

It is natural for a young fellow to like the acquaintance of females and customary for him to keep them company when occasion serves. Some one of them is more agreeable to him than the rest; there is something, he knows not what, pleases him, he knows not how, in her company. This I take to be what is called love with the greatest part of us.

Robert Burns

Richard Bach with this book does two things. He gives me Flight. He makes me Young. For both I am deeply grateful.

Ray Bradbury
