I get up every morning and it's going to be a great day. You never know when it's going to be over so I refuse to have a bad day.

Nothing external to you has any power over you.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If I'd have gone to art school, or stayed in anthropology, I probably would have ended up back in film ... Mostly I just followed my inner feelings and passions ... and kept going to where it got warmer and warmer, until it finally got hot ... Everybody has talent. It's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is.

George Lucas

All we have of freedom -- all we use or know -- this our fathers bought for us, long and long ago.

Rudyard Kipling

Some minds remain open long enough for the truth not only to enter but to pass on through by way of a ready exit without pausing anywhere along the route.

Elizabeth Kenny

Philosophers make imaginary laws for imaginary commonwealths, and their discourses are as the stars, which give little light because they are so high.

Francis Bacon

One can be a brother only in something. Where there is no tie that binds men, men are not united but merely lined up.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
