I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right.

When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.

Oscar Wilde

I grew up on a farm in a small town where you do or say one thing and everybody knows about it. You see it happen, there's always the town gossip - 'Oh did you hear about so and so, or did you hear what went on in this household?' So I learned at a very young age just to keep my mouth shut.

Garrett Hedlund

All your Western theologies, the whole mythology of them, are based on the concept of God as a senile delinquent.

Tennessee (Thomas Lanier) Willia

Each day as I travel through downtown Tucson, I am amazed at how quickly the most ancient of human behaviors have changed. For as long as there have been Homo sapiens - roughly 200,000 years - people have filled their lives principally with two activities: talking directly with other people, and doing physical things.

Andrew Weil

Power ought to serve as a check to power.

Charles de Secondat

Prayer puts you in touch with the infinite and prepares your mind for the finite.

Peter Daniel

I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say, 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well.

Patrick Stewart

It is terrible to destroy a person's picture of himself in the interests of truth or some other abstraction.

Doris Lessing

It's part of a writer's profession, as it's part of a spy's profession, to prey on the community to which he's attached, to take away information - often in secret - and to translate that into intelligence for his masters, whether it's his readership or his spy masters. And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely.

John le Carre

I can do whatever I want - I'm rich, I'm famous, and I'm bigger than you.

Don Johnson

You know what killed off the dinosaurs, Whateley? We did. In one barbecue.

Neil Gaiman

Love is not weakness. It is strong. Only the sacrament of marriage can contain it.
