I hate it when people call me a teen queen.

War is never a solution; it is an aggravation.

Benjamin Disraeli

We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.

Blaise Pascal

The price that one pays for refusing to act on the truth as one sees it, is to be led to believe untruth to avoid guilt.

Kenneth L. Pike

I can live without it all -- love with its blood pump, sex with its messy hungers, men with their peacock strutting, their silly sexual baggage, their wet tongues in my ear.

Erica Jong

Not marble nor the gilded monumentsOf princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme,But you shall shine more bright in these contentsThan unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time.When wasteful war shall statues overturnAnd broils roots out the work of masonry,Nor mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burnThe living record of your memory.'Gainst death and all-oblivious enmityShall you pace forth; your praise shall still find roomEven in the eyes of all posterityThat wear this world out to the ending doom.So, till judgement that yourself arise,You in this, and dwell in lovers eyes.

William Shakespeare

I carry my own film guys with me now. People think that's a huge expense, but with technology like it is these days, it's not. You can film videos and everything with a Canon Mark II, and shoot a movie. They're doing it for next to nothing, by comparison. I can do ten videos for a project for the price of one mainstream video in the past.

Ronnie Dunn

Our works and our play. All our pleasures experienced as the pleasure of love. What could be better that? To feel in one's work the tender and flushed substance of one's dearest concern.

Mary Caroline Richards

In a secular age, an authentic miracle must purport to be a hoax, in order to gain credit in the world.

Angela Carter

Conscience is the mirror of our souls, which represents the errors of our lives in their full shape.

George Bancroft

A friend may be nature's most magnificent creation.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

This fascination with computer models is something I understand very well. Richard Feynmann called it a disease. I fear he is right.

Michael Crichton

Life is a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.

Charles Lindbergh
