It feels like a barbell. When asked what she thought of her newly acquired Oscar statuette

I have become a queer mixture of the East and the West, out of place everywhere, at home nowhere.

Jawaharlal Nehru

I come here with no expectations, only to profess, now that I am at liberty to do so, that my heart is and always will be yours.

Jane Austen

Don't listen to those who say, you taking too big a chance. Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor, and it would surely be rubbed out by today. Most important, don't listen when the little voice of fear inside you rears its ugly head and says. they all smarter than you out there. They're more talented, they're taller, blonder, prettier, luckier, and they have connections. I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you, not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others, but with the strength of conviction that you can move others by your own efforts, and do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live, the chances are you'll be a person worthy of your own respects.

Neil Simon

The Captain of the Watch says if you're still in the City by sunrise he will personally have you buried alive.

Terry Pratchett

Wisdom is perishable. Unlike information or knowledge, it cannot be stored in a computer or recorded in a book. It expires with each passing generation.

Sid Taylor

The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.

Clive Owen

There are four basic food groups, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate truffles.

Anon.

When red-haired people are above a certain social grade their hair is auburn.

Mark Twain

One cannot expect to coast along and rise automatically to the top, no matter what friends you may have in the company. There may have been a time when, in large corporations, a person could rise simply because he had a stock interest or because he had friends in top management. That's not true today. Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you're not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were.

David Rockefeller

Today's youth are told to get rich or die trying and they really shouldn't take that attitude forward with them.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

All things truly wicked start from innocence.

Ernest Hemingway

I look upon life as a gift from God. I did nothing to earn it. Now that the time is coming to give it back, I have no right to complain.
