I'd love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction.

Pure love is in the will alone; it is no sentimental love, for the imagination has no part in it; it loves, if we may so express it, without feeling, as faith believes without seeing.

Francois Fenelon

It's now possible to play and take lessons from any place of the world. The concept of physical distance doesn't exist in the online world, and that is so cool!

Alexandra Kosteniuk

What law, what reason can deny that gift so sweet, so natural that God has given a stream, a fish, a beast, a bird?

Pedro Calderon de la Barca

The bee collects honey from flowers in such a way as to do the least damage or destruction to them, and he leaves them whole, undamaged and fresh, just as he found them.

Saint Francis de Sales

When my horse is running good, I don't stop to give him sugar.

William Faulkner

Perception is merely reality filtered through the prism of your soul.

Christopher A. Ray

To linger in the observation of things other than the self implies a profound conviction of their worth.

CharlesDamian Boulogne, My Frien

When the time for recognition of service to the nation in wartime comes to be considered, Bob Hope should be high on the list. This man drives himself and is driven. It is impossible to see how he can do so much, can cover so much ground, can work so hard, and can be so effective. He works month after month at a pace that would kill most people.

John Steinbeck, Once There Was A

He who has not looked on Sorrow will never see Joy.

Kahlil Gibran

As a general truth, it is safe to say that any picture that produces a moral impression is a bad picture.

Edmond de Goncourt

Congratulations, you have a sense of humor. And to those who didn't: Go stick your head in the mud.

Jesse Ventura

The quest of the Inner Ring will break your hearts unless you break it. But if you break it, a surprising result will follow. If in your working hours you make the work your end, you will presently find yourself all unawares inside the only circle in your profession that really matters. You will be one of the sound craftsmen, and other sound craftsmen will know it. This group of craftsmen will by no means coincide with the Inner Ring or the Important People or the People in the Know. It will not shape that professional policy or work up that professional influence which fights for the profession as a whole against the public: nor will it lead to those periodic scandals and crises which the Inner Ring produces. But it will do those things which that profession exists to do and will in the long run be responsible for all the respect which that profession in fact enjoys and which the speeches and advertisements cannot maintain. And if in your spare time you consort simply with the people you like, you will again find that you have come unawares to a real inside: that you are indeed snug and safe at the center of something which, seen from without, would look exactly like an Inner Ring. But the difference is that its secrecy is accidental, and its exclusiveness a by-product, and no one was led thither by the lure of the esoteric: for it is only four or five people who like one another meeting to do things that they like. This is friendship. Aristotle placed it among the virtues. It causes perhaps half of all the happiness in the world, and no Inner Ring can ever have it.

C.S. Lewis
