So what indeed! The lesson I myself learned over and over again when teaching at the college and then the prison was the uselessness of information to most people, except as entertainment. If facts weren't funny or scary, or couldn't make you rich, the heck with them.

You can't tell your kids to read if you're just watching television. They have to see you read. And in that respect, I think it's important to walk the walk. It's a wonderful shared time.

Gary Ross

The great critic...must be a philosopher, for from philosophy he will learn serenity, impartiality, and the transitoriness of human things.

W. Somerset Maugham, The Summing

Women are made to be loved, not understood.

Oscar Wilde

There are no regrets in life, just lessons.

Jennifer Aniston

You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.

Rick Warren

Nothing is very strong: strong enough to steal away a man's best years not in sweet sins but in a dreary flickering of the mind over it knows not what and knows not why, in the gratification of curiosities so feeble that the man is only half aware of them, in drumming of fingers and kicking of heels, in whistling tunes that he does not like, or in the long, dim labyrinth of reveries that have not even lust or ambition to give them a relish, but which, once chance association has started them, the creature is took weak and fuddled to shake off.

C.S. Lewis

Sometimes you gotta create what you want to be a part of.

Geri Weitzman

It is so important to get respect for what you do and at the same time give it.

Estelle Parsons

Because I travel so much, I bring my workout clothes and shoes wherever I go. That way I can always do some exercise.

Gail Simmons

I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone, I know, but mine was plain weird.

Uma Thurman

God willing, we shall come to a stage where the world looks at the Palestinian question, and Palestinian rights on Palestinian national soil, as well as the questions of the occupied Syrian and Lebanese territories. These are the bases on which peace will be built.

King Hussein I

There is in the end no remedy but truth. It is the one course that cannot be evil.

Ellis Peters
