Sigmund Freud

One can pay back the loan of gold, but one lies forever in debt to those who are kind.

Proverb

Have you ever found your heart's desire and then lost it? I had seen myself, a portrait of myself as a reader. My childhood: days home sick from school reading Nancy Drew, forbidden books read secretively late at night. Teenage years reading -trying to read- books I'd heard were important, Naked Lunch, and The Fountainhead, Ulysses and Women in Love... It was as though I had dreamt the perfect lover, who vanished as I woke, leaving me pining and surly.

Audrey Niffenegger

Tolerance implies a gratuitous assumption of the inferiority of other faiths to one's own

Mahatma Gandhi

Honest men are the soft easy cushions on which knaves repose and fatten.

Thomas Otway

Take every gain without showing remorse about missed profits, because an eel may escape sooner than you think.

Lope de Vega

I don't have the feeling of being motivated by anger, revenge or frustration.

Agnes Obel

Death comes at you no matter what you do in this life, and to equate drugs with death is a facile comparison.

Jerry Garcia

Work. Don't Think. Relax.

Ray Bradbury

Don't buy the house, buy the neighborhood.

Proverb

The beauty of a main title is that you establish your main theme and maybe a bit of your secondary theme. You plant the seed that you're going to go water later in the score. And so, having that removed just made it so much more difficult.

Danny Elfman

Most plans are just inaccurate predictions.
