The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.

It is a fine thing to be honest, but it is also very important to be right.

Sir Winston Churchill

This battle for 'common-sense' gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason. All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, 'gun control' legislation. Good news - if you're a crook.

Larry Elder

If modernist naturalism were true, there would be no objective truth outside of science. In that case right and wrong would be a matter of cultural preference, or political power, and the power already available to modernists ideologies would be overwhelming.

Phillip E. Johnson

Age is my alarm clock, the old man said. Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day? I don't know, the boy said. All I know is that young boys sleep late and hard.

Ernest Hemingway

Two people can make love but that isn't necessarily love.

Greta Scacchi

The most watched programme on the BBC, after the news, is probably 'Doctor Who.' What has happened is that science fiction has been subsumed into modern literature. There are grandparents out there who speak Klingon, who are quite capable of holding down a job. No one would think twice now about a parallel universe.

Terry Pratchett

I divide all readers into two classes: those who read to remember and those who read to forget.

William Lyon Phelps

I was not out to paint beautiful pictures even painting good pictures was not important to me. I wanted only to help the truth burst forth.

Alice Miller

Biography is: a system in which the contradictions of a human life are unified.

Jos

If you would have your son to walk honourably through the world, you must not attempt to clear the stones from his path, but teach him to walk firmly over them - not insist upon leading him by the hand, but let him learn to go alone.

Anne Bronte

To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life.

T.S. Eliot

I don't think the competition's so rough, within the majority of movies made in Hollywood.

Paul Thomas Anderson
