Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Crime generally punishes itself.

Oliver Goldsmith

I am hopeful for the American people that we can actually improve the outlook for bringing down costs in health care.

Eric Cantor

Art-making is not about telling the truth but making the truth felt

Christian Boltanski

Hell is full of good intentions or desires.

St. Bernard of Clairvaux

There was certainly less profanity in the Godfather than in the Sopranos. There was a kind of respect. It's not that I totally agreed with it, but it was a great piece of art.

Danny Aiello

I was always trying to make up for my size, to compensate. So to get people to take you seriously, you have to come at things with a great deal of strength. You have to emphasize that the way you are is unusual. That you don't come along every day.

Linda Hunt

We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. In the faith that looks through death, in years that bring the philosophic mind.

John Bacon

Statisticians, like artists, have the bad habit of falling in love with their models.

George E. P. Box

Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it. We solicitously and apologetically caress and celebrate him, because he held on his way and scorned our disapprobation. The gods loved him because men hated him.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space.

Orson Scott Card

Well, a sort of epiphany: I was in a great band. And it's very cool to be at 53 and realise that when you were a kid you were in a great band.

Bob Geldof

Travel is very subjective. What one person loves, another loathes.

Robin Leach
