I'm gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.

Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.

Joseph Campbell

Playing Shakespeare is really tiring. You never get to sit down, unless you're the king.

Josephine Hull

Parameters are the things you bounce off to create art.

Neil Gaiman

She has taken a patronizing fancy to her father, the Admiral, who accepts her condescension gratefully as age brings more and more home to him the futility of his social position.

George Bernard Shaw, An Unsocial

Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.

Coco Chanel

We cannot see things that stare us in the face until the hour comes that the mind is ripened.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Without friends no one would choose to live.

Aristotle

You'll get into dreadful trouble and it won't be my fault. You are bad people.

Terry Pratchett

Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You're in one minute, out the next.

Tyra Banks

It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.

Midge Decter

Alien. An American sovereign in his probationary state.

Ambrose Bierce

Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.
