The first symptom of love in a young man is shyness; the first symptom in a woman, it's boldness.

Life is not perfect. It never will be. You just have to make the very best of it. And you have to open your heart to what the world can show you. And sometimes it's terrifying. And sometimes it's incredibly beautiful. And I'll take both, thanks.

Graham Nash

Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

Albert Einstein

The most spiritual human beings, assuming they are the most courageous, also experience by far the most painful tragedies: but it is precisely for this reason that they honor life, because it brings against them its most formidable weapons.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The worst thing I could be thinking is how could I be a cool bass player.

Mike Gordon

Don't be humble... you're not that great.

Golda Meir

Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos.

Stephen Sondheim

Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come to being.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

It is clear to everyone that astronomy at all events compels the soul to look upwards, and draws it from the things of this world to the other.

Plato

People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, 'Where are you from?' doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know?

Garrison Keillor

I don't even know how to use a parking meter, let alone a phone box.

Princess Diana

I wake up every morning in a cold sweat, regardless of how well things went the day before. And put that I said that in a somewhat but not completely tongue-in-cheek way.

Harvey Pekar

Doing 'White Collar,' quite often my character goes undercover, so therein lies the compounding of the imagination. I get to play Peter Burke and then someone else when Peter Burke goes undercover.
