It's in the history books, the Holocaust. It's just a phrase. And the truth is it happened yesterday. It happened to my mother. I never met my grandmothers or my grandfathers. They were all wiped up in the gas chambers of Nazi Germany.

I think everybody has something that takes them away or makes them happier. To some people it's baseball or sports or knitting or the movies.

Sutton Foster

We had a booming stock market in 1929 and then went into the world's greatest depression. We have a booming stock market in 1999. Will the bubble somehow burst, and then we enter depression? Well, some things are not different.

Jeffrey Sachs

People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.

Anton Chekhov

Two shows at once is crazy, but I love it.

Nicholas Lea

As an actor you have to wait for someone to cast you, so you're relying on the business.

Mia Wasikowska

I like to be beholden to the great metropolitan English speech, the sea which receives tributaries from every region under heaven.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

No virtue is safe that is not enthusiastic.

Sir John Robert Seeley

I came here to tell you the truth, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Oliver North

Then indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute; What you can do, or dream you can, begin it.

Johann von Goethe

The film of evening light made the red earth lucent, so that its dimensions were deepened, so that a stone, a post, a building, had greater depth, and more solidity than in any daytime light; and these objects were curiously more individual- a post was more essentially a post, set off from the earth it stood in and the field of corn it stood out against. All plants were individuals, not the mass of crop; and the ragged willow tree was itself, standing free of all other willow trees. The earth contributed a light to the evening. The front of the gray, paintless house, facing the west, was luminous as the moon is. The gray dusty truck, in the yard before the door, stood out magically in this light, in the overdrawn perspective of a stereopticon.

John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wr

I never got into sports at all until I was in my early 20s, after my music career got going.

Neal Schon

These paper boats of mine are meant to dance on the ripples of hours, and not reach any destination.

Rabindranath Tagore
