Fame, we may understand, is no sure test of merit, but only a probability of such; it is an accident, not a property of man.

I suddenly realized how much I loved her when we attended Alfred Hitchcock's 75th birthday party last August. There was something magical about that night, and it made me see how much she really meant to me.

Rod Taylor

Every time somebody tries to go in and reinvent what we do, it always ends up being more about technology and sets, and flash and dash, forgetting the main thing, which is interesting people saying interesting, important things.

Diane Sawyer

Exactitude is not truth.

Henri Matisse

An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.

Friedrich Nietzsche

My wife gets all the money I make. I just get an apple and clean clothes every morning.

Ray Romano

... for words have the power to change us.

Cassandra Clare

In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.

Theodore Roosevelt

Tim Bishop

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Shalom Harlow

I mean I don't really think about it. You know, do you know what I often say to myself? I think you're very lucky in life if you know what you want to do.

Andrew Lloyd Webber

Thinking things has been done through the ages; knowing things remains to be done.
