Everything great in the world comes from neurotics. They alone have founded our religions and composed our masterpieces.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

Oscar Wilde

It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.

Proverb

Abraham Lincoln

There's a kind of dynamic quality about theater and that dynamic quality expresses itself in relation to, first of all, the environment in which it's being staged then the audience, the nature of the audience, the quality of the audience.

Wole Soyinka

Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly ones own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.

I went to film school and wanted to learn everything there was about making movies.

Zach Braff

We are the music-makers,And we are the dreamers of dreams,Wandering by lone sea-breakers,And sitting by desolate streams.World-losers and world-forsakers,Upon whom the pale moon gleams;Yet we are the movers and shakers,Of the world forever, it seems.

Arthur O'Shaughnessy

Success is not the absence of failure. Success is persistence through failure.

Aisha Tyler

The term up has no meaning apart from the word down. The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up. This would certainly move a great many objects and create an enormous amount of activity. It might or might not be useful, according to the standards which we apply. However it would never result in the abolishment of down.

Thurman W. Arnold

Everybody has to put purees underneath everything now. It's like people think we need the steak, and then we need some baby food with it.

Wolfgang Puck

Be the person you wish to be, not who you are told to be.
