The greatest waste in the world is the difference between what we are and what we could become.

Without Freedom of Thought, there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as publick Liberty, without Freedom of Speech.

Benjamin Franklin

In the room the women come and go talking of Michelangelo.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

I'm happy that I feel a little less out of place in filmmaking than I once was - but it's almost impossible for a playwright in the U.S. to make a living. You can have a play, like I did with 'Angels,' and it still generates income for me, but it's not enough for me to live on and have health insurance.

Tony Kushner

I drink to forget I drink.

Joe E. Lewis

After much prayerful consideration, I feel that I must say I have climbed my last political mountain.

George C. Wallace

Melissa de la Cruz

Loving is the only sure road out of darkness, the only serum known that cures self-centeredness.

Roger M'Ckuen

Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Paulo Coelho

The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I'd rather not be in a cage. I'd rather be dead. And it's real simple. And I think it's not that uncommon.

Angelina Jolie

God did not intend the human family to be wafted to heaven on flowery beds of ease.

Frank Knox

I quit after a bad car accident. The thing about boxing is that you can be a star for five or six years, but when you go back to the old life, it's tough.

Olivier Martinez

All great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a man had taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance immensely the value of your first.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
