After its hothouse incubation in the seventies, appropriation breathed important new life into art. This life flowered spectacularly over the decades - even if it's now close to aesthetic kudzu.

To find out if she really loved me, I hooked her up to a lie detector. And just as I suspected, my machine was broken.?

Dark Jar Tin Zoo

I wanted the feel in these books to be like an epic fantasy, with kings, queens, dukes and court politics, but of course like what I was explaining before, about making the science make sense, you have to make the politics make sense, too.

Kevin J. Anderson

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

Amelia Earhart

You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.

Barbra Streisand

...the honour of a maid is her name; andno legacy is so rich as honesty.

William Shakespeare, All's Well

Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have.

James Dean

Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life.

Juliette Binoche

Faint heart never won true friend. O my friend, may it come to pass, once, that when you are my friend I may be yours.

Henry David Thoreau

No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American people into one common mass.

John Marshall

We claim that any man who is honest, fair, tolerant, kind, charitable, and well-behaved is a success. No matter what his station in life.

Jay House

I am a fictionalizing philosopher, not a novelist; my novel & story-writing ability is employed as a means to formulate my perception. The core of my writing is not art but truth. Thus what I tell is the truth, yet I can do nothing to alleviate it, either by deed or explanation. Yet this seems somehow to help a certain kind of sensitive troubled person, for whom I speak. I think I understand the common ingredient in those whom my writing helps: they cannot or will not blunt their own intimations about the irrational, mysterious nature of reality, &, for them, my corpus is one long ratiocination regarding this inexplicable reality, an integration & presentation, analysis & response & personal history.

Philip K. Dick, Exegesis Philip
