Good, better, best; never let it rest till your good is better and your better is best.

I like video games, but they are very violent. I want to create a video game in which you have to help all the characters who have died in the other games. 'Hey, man, what are you playing?' 'Super Busy Hospital. Could you leave me alone? I'm performing surgery! This guy got shot in the head, like, 27 times!'

We've had risk assessments performed by Harvard University, which said that even if we did have a small number of cases in this country that the likelihood of it spreading or getting into any kind of human health problem is very, very small.

Ann Veneman

But Satan now is wiser than of yore, and tempts by making rich, not making poor.

Alexander Pope

It's not my job to try and alter the director's style - he's in charge, and I'll always give him my trust.

Ewan McGregor

An unsanctified temper is a fruitful source of error, and a mighty impediment to truth.

Elias Lyman Magoon

The character of our coasts, remarkable in considerable parts of it for admitting no vessels of size to pass near the shores, would entitle us, in reason, to as broad a margin of protected navigation, as any nation whatever. Not proposing, however, at this time, and without a respectful and friendly communication with the Powers interested in this navigation, to fix on a distance to which we may ultimately insist on the right of protection, the President gives instructions to the officers, acting under this authority, to consider those heretofore given them as restrained for the present to the distance of one sea-league, or three geographical miles from the sea-shore. This distance can admit of no opposition as it is recognized by treaties between some of the Powers with whom we are connected in commerce and navigation, and is as little or less than is claimed by any of them on their own coasts.

Thomas Jefferson

Part of my growing up was always trying to make my parents proud and always trying to keep them happy. I think part of what held them together was my involvement in sports.

Jeff Garcia

Truth would quickly cease to be stranger than fiction, once we got as used to it.

H.L. Mencken

A good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The purpose of human life is to serve and show compassion and the will to help others.

Albert Schweitzer

Refusal to believe until proof is given is a rational position denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd.

Annie Besant

While it's really hard to do, at the same time, I'm escaping my body, which I really want to do. I'm living someone else's life. I get very intensely into the story, into the interviews and the research. I'm experiencing things along with my subjects. I have a freedom I don't have in my physical life.
