My father was an Episcopalian minister, and I've always been comforted by the power of prayer.

Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.

Friedrich von Schiller

I need that aggressive attitude to play my music and more men have that attitude than women.

Lita Ford

I love the sad songs with their maudlin, self-deprecating, almost funny lyrics. As an Englishman, they make a lot of sense.

Teddy Thompson

Let's not quibble! I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess. If I may lift a line from a die-hard whose identity is lost in the shuffle, I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.

Tallulah Bankhead

There rise her timeless capitals of empires daily born,Whose plinths are laid at midnight and whose streets are packed at morn;And here come tired youths and maids that feign to love or sinIn tones like rusty razor blades to tunes like smitten tin.

Rudyard Kipling, Naaman

The greater the difficulty, the more the glory in surmounting it.

Epicurus

But I was not in the band, because I suffer from the kind of tone deafness that is generally associated with actual deafness

John Green

Eternity is a long time to spend alone, without others of your kind.

Cassandra Clare

Innovation is this amazing intersection between someone's imagination and the reality in which they live. The problem is, many companies don't have great imagination, but their view of reality tells them that it's impossible to do what they imagine.

Ron Johnson

It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.

Immanuel Kant

I feel like the people from Iceland have a different relationship with their country than other places. Most Icelandic people are really proud to be from there, and we don't have embarrassments like World War II where we were cruel to other people.

Bjork

I think it's sad that movies and television have caused the theatre to fade as a popular art form. I hope to get young people into the theatre and expose them to Shakespeare.

Kelly McGillis
