Gold like the sun, which melts wax, but hardens clay, expands great souls.

Yes, but I think if you look at it with a sort of gay sensibility and want everything to be positive about gay life, it could be interpreted as antigay.

John Schlesinger

A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.

Francis Bacon

I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened, they revolt me. That white round thing without any holes have you ever seen anything more revolting than an egg yolk breaking and spilling its yellow liquid? Blood is jolly, red. But egg yolk is yellow, revolting. I've never tasted it.

Alfred Hitchcock

I am going to seek a great purpose, draw the curtain, the farce is played.

Francois Rabelais

I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job.

Bill Murray

I still indulge in a glass of wine or chocolate - treats are mandatory. Without deviating from the day-to-day healthy diet once in a while, it wouldn't be sustainable for me, and that's what I wanted: an approach to eating to last my entire life.

Alanis Morissette

Every man supposes himself not to be fully understood; and if there is any truth in him, if he rests at last on the divine soul, I see not how it can be otherwise

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I had a story tell, a story that needed to be told so that people would know the truth.

Jessica Lynch

Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.

William Shakespeare

The only happy talkers are dandies who extract pleasure from the very perishability of their material and who would not be able to tolerate the isolation of all other forms of composition; for most good talkers, when they have run down, are miserable; they know that they have betrayed themselves, that they have taken material which should have a life of its own, to dispense it in noises upon the air.

Cyril Connolly

So nevertheless, what I'm saying is that what one is - one's parameters are constantly narrowed by one's success, and my desire is to widen my field even if I risk failure.

Jeremy Irons

Even you are not rich enough, Sir Robert, to buy back your past. No man is.

Oscar Wilde
