There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.

If American men are obsessed with money, American women are obsessed with weight. The men talk of gain, the women talk of loss, and I do not know which talk is the more boring.

Marya Mannes

What good is sitting all alone in your room?

Liza Minnelli

My public image is so low-key, but I get to travel the world and still have an audience and it's really amazing. I don't take that for granted.

K. D. Lang

I don't get rattled about the big things. I get rattled when I have to pick up my laundry, get gas in the car, pick up a script.

Sherry Stringfield

My knee is as strong as it was before, if not stronger, and it's a matter of getting my leg strong. I lost six years of strength in about six month's time, so it's going to take another year or two to get that leg back up to full strength, but I'm good to go so far.

Picabo Street

Is it not odd that the only generous person I ever knew, who had money to be generous with, should be a stockbroker.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Most people who think they're happy are really just stupid.

Tom Kitt

It needs courage to let our children go, but we are trustees and stewards and have to hand them back to life--to God. As the old saying puts it: What I gave I have. We have to love them and lose them.

Alfred Torrie

I meant exactly what I said: that we are saddled with a culture that hasn't advanced as far as science.

Michelangelo Antonioni

Profondamente sospirò e si gettò - c'era nei suoi gesti una passione che merita la parola - sul nudo suolo ai piedi della quercia. Godeva nel sentire, sotto l'effimera apparenza dell'estate, la spina dorsale della terra; ché tale era per lui la dura radice della quercia, oppure - l'immagine seguendo l'immagine - era il dorso d'un gran destriero che cavalcava; o la tolda di una nave in preda alle onde; qualsiasi cosa, insomma, purché solida, poiché egli anelava a qualche cosa cui ormeggiare il suo fluttuante cuore; quel cuore che ogni sera in quella stagione, quando s'aggirava per le campagne, pareva ricolmo di aromatiche e languide sensazioni d'amore. Alla quercia egli lo legò.

Virginia Woolf

My goal isn't to make money, it's to try and survive and make a point.

Marilyn Manson

Our culture now wonderfully, alchemically transforms images and history into artistic material. The possibilities seem endless and wide open.
