I just love writing. It's magical, it's somewhere else to go, it's somewhere much more dreadful, somewhere much more exciting. Somewhere I feel I belong, possibly more than in the so-called real world.

I couldn't find the remote control to the remote control.

Steven Wright

The idea of the future, pregnant with an infinity of possibilities, is thus more fruitful than the future itself, and this is why we find more charm in hope than in possession, in dreams than in reality.

Henri Bergson

Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict - alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence.

Dorothy Thompson

For, when with beauty we can virtue join, We paint the semblance of a form divine.

Matthew Prior

Democracy! Bah! When I hear that word I reach for my feather Boa!

Allen Ginsberg

The innocent and the beautiful have no enemy but time.

William Butler Yeats

When you're in a race car, you're going through so many different emotions throughout that race.

Jeff Gordon

I write plays and movies, I live and work at the borderline between word and image just as any cartoonist or illustrator does. I'm not a pure writer. I use words as the score for kinetic imagistic representations.

Tony Kushner

Julian is bluff and sturdy, royal; he possesses a gracefully muscular, equine beauty so natural it suggests that beauty itself is a fundamental human condition and not a mutation in the general design.

Michael Cunningham

A refusal to believe that God loves us is the unbelief which destroys the soul.

Edward Norris Kirk

I don't think anyone has a normal family.

Edward Furlong

But if our nation goes over a financial Niagara, we won't have much strength and, eventually, we won't have peace. We are currently borrowing the entire defense budget from foreign investors. Within a few years, we will be spending more on interest payments than on national security. That is not, as our military friends say, a 'robust strategy.'
