I've been involved with sports my whole life, which made clothes and makeup and handbags not that important as a kid. I just didn't care.

The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.

Jean Baudrillard

The basis of art is truth, both in matter and in mode.

Flannery O'Connor

Dance in the rain, follow the path of lovely lanes, you are what you always wanted to be, so chill out, dear friend!

Santosh Kalwar

If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us. But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives us is a lantern on the stern, which shines only on the waves behind us.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The European Union is the world's most successful invention for advancing peace.

John Bruton

Love of country is like love of woman -- he loves her best who seeks to bestow on her the highest good.

Felix Adler

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.

Blaise Pascal

Life excites me-just little, normal, everyday things. Getting out of bed. Getting dressed. Making food. I find it all exciting.

Liv Tyler

In the United States today, we have more than our share of nattering nabobs of negativism.

Spiro T. Agnew

I love 'Goodfellas' because it's a great movie - it's funny and there is action at perfect points. I just think Martin Scorsese makes everyone look really cool.

Booboo Stewart

I do not feel that I am the product of chance, a speck of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected, prepared, prefigured. In short, a being whom only a Creator could put here; and this idea of a creating hand refers to God.

JeanPaul Sartre

For us, the best time is always yesterday.
