I've never been on a fad diet.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

. . . clumsiness is often mated with a love of solitude.

Virginia Woolf

In heaven an angel is no one in particular.

George Bernard Shaw

Communism, my friend, is more than Marxism, just as Catholicism is more than the Roman Curia. There is a mystique as well as a politick. Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.

Graham Greene

Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The only job that was ever of interest to me other than filmmaking is architecture.

Christopher Nolan

Any revival in which I am involved is liable to change.

Tom Stoppard

I've spent a lot of Thanksgivings on the road with my band, so anytime that I can spend Thanksgiving with my family in a traditional aspect, eating sweet potatoes and cranberries and stuffing and all the trappings of Thanksgiving and then get on a treadmill the next day extra long, I'm happy.

Richie Sambora

I just think Rosa Parks was overrated. Last time I checked, she got famous for breaking the law.

Stephen Colbert

Politics are now nothing more than means of rising in the world. With this sole view do men engage in politics, and their whole conduct proceeds upon it.

Samuel Johnson

One of the most important days of my life was when I learned to ride a bicycle.

Michael Palin

The more a race is governed by its passions, the less it has acquired the habit of cautious and reasoned argument, the more intense will be its love of music.

Stendhal
