The goodness of a thing created is the perfection of its fitness for the use which it serves. Now that use is either particular or universal.

There is a lot of interest in the arts, music, theatre, filmmaking, engineering, architecture and software design. I think we have now transitioned the modern-day version of the entrepreneur into the creative economy.

John Baldacci

Most people who offer their help do it to make themselves feel better, not us. To be honest, I don't blame them. It's superstition: If you give assistance to the family in need... if you throw salt over your shoulder... if you don't step on the cracks, then maybe you'll be immune. Maybe you'll be able to convince yourself that this could never happen to you.

Jodi Picoult

Movies are about escape.

George A. Romero

People need to realise what real happiness and success is, because success as an actor is fleeting. You can be up there one day and gone the next.

Chuck Norris

I'm one of those cliff-hanging Catholics. I don't believe in God, but I do believe that Mary was his mother.

Martin Sheen

No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency.

George Washington

Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for the night. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Terry Pratchett

Bear one another's burdens.

Bible

There is more truth about Human Nature in a good Sci-Fi or Epic Fantasy Novel than in any Non-Fiction. When you're speaking for real, you hide what you don't want others to see. When you're telling a story, you don't hold back.

I Curmudgeon Hugh

Independent film is almost nonexistent right now, because all the distributers that used to love to put out these little art films are all out of business right now, because it costs so much to open a movie.

Ron Perlman

Being a princess isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Princess of Wales Diana

I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.
