Having imagination it takes you an hour to write a paragraph that if you were unimaginative would take you only a minute.

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.

Cecelia Ahern

Technology is us. There is no separation. It's a pure expression of human creative will. It doesn't exist anywhere else in the universe. I'm rather sure of that.

David Cronenberg

On a day when you're tired, it's important to just say good morning to everyone so they're kind of aware that it's gonna be a good day. Jamie Lee Curtis told me that.

Lindsay Lohan

Criticism should be a casual conversation.

W. H. Auden

But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, Ch

I am a degenerate modern semi-intellectual who would die if I did not get my early morning cup of tea and my every Friday. Clearly I do not, in a sense, 'want' to return to a simpler, harder, probably agricultural way of life. In the same sense I don't 'want' to cut down on my drinking, to pay my debts, to take enough exercise, to be faithful to my wife, etc. etc. But in another and more permanent sense I do want these things, and perhaps in the same sense I want a civilization in which 'progress' is not definable as making the world safe for little fat men.

George Orwell

You cannot change your journey if you are unwilling to move at all.

Ally Condie

The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well.

Alfred Adler

Every Hindu boy and girl should possess sound Sanskrit learning.

Mahatma Gandhi

My father wasn't perfect. He had a temper. I took some of that. He would snap, but the older he got, he started calming down. He learned about life, but the thing that he taught my whole family was that family was the most important thing and, no matter what, if a family member needs you, you go and help them out; you get there.

Adam Sandler

Everybody, sooner or later, will have to go under the knife. Let's hope they make out as well as I did.

Bobby Darin

Fortune has rarely condescended to be the companion of genius.
