But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it, the more amazed I am by being here at all.

I don't want to make money. I just want to be wonderful.

Marilyn Monroe

I'm a girl who loves fashion. I'm such a Cinderella - I love to put on a great dress and heels. It's fun!

Maria Bello

The wise man, knowing how to enjoy achieved results without having constantly to replace them with others, finds in them an attachment to life in the hour of difficulty. But the man who has always pinned all his hopes on the future and lived with his eyes fixed upon it, has nothing in the past as a comfort against the present's afflictions, for the past was nothing to him but a series of hastily experienced stages. What blinded him to himself was his expectation always to find further on the happiness he had so far missed. Now he is stopped in his tracks; from now on nothing remains behind or ahead of him to fix his gaze upon.

Emile Durkheim

You need to have enough immediate profits that you can finance the long-range growth without diluting the stock.

Paul Cook

O, she misused me past the endurance of a block.

William Shakespeare

There are confessable agonies, sufferings of which one can positively be proud. Of bereavement, of parting, of the sense of sin and the fear of death the poets have eloquently spoken. They command the world's sympathy. But there are also discreditable anguishes, no less excruciating than the others, but of which the sufferer dare not, cannot speak. The anguish of thwarted desire, for example.

Aldous Huxley

There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.

James Joyce

Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own

William Shakespeare

Words do not change their meanings so drastically in the course of centuries as, in our minds, names do in the course of a year or two.

Marcel Proust

Don't just learn the tricks of the trade. Learn the trade.

James Bennis

I've been left alone, even by the paparazzi, because what sells is sex and scandal. Absent that, they really don't have much interest in you. I'm still married, still working, still happy.

Matt Damon

Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside.

Henry David Thoreau
