Imparting knowledge is only lighting other men's candles at our lamp without depriving ourselves of any flame.

If your knees are knocking, kneel on them.

Necessity is the mother of taking chances.

Mark Twain

Those Romans who perpetrated the rape of the Sabines, for example, did not work themselves up for the deed by screening Debbie Does Dallas, and the monkish types who burned a million or so witches in the Middle Ages had almost certainly not come across Boobs and Buns or related periodicals.

Mrs. Van Daan's grizzling is absolutely unbearable; now she can't any longer drive us crazy over the invasion, she nags us the whole day long about the bad weather. It really would be nice to dump her in a bucket of cold water and put her up in the loft.

Anne Frank

You wrestle one night, get up the next morning and fly out to the next city. You try to work out, you try to get some food into you and, lo and behold, you have to go work again. You are living out of a suitcase.

Bill Goldberg

I have said to you to speak the truth is a painful thing. To be forced to tell lies is much worse.

Oscar Wilde

I do readings at the public library. I just did a benefit scene night for my old acting teacher.

Mark Ruffalo

As a day well spent procures a happy sleep, so a life well employed procures a happy death.

Leonardo da Vinci

Mere humans who root through their refrigerators at three o'clock in the morning can only produce writing that matches what they do. And that includes me.

Haruki Murakami

Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path. No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded. Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything. Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of these two attitudes is the least destructive? I don't know.

Paulo Coelho

It's superfun being a mom, but it's hard too.

Gwen Stefani

False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
