While I know that the beautiful, the spiritual and the sublime are suspect today, I have begun to stop resisting the constant urge to deny that beauty has a valid right to exist in contemporary art.

I'm less worried about accomplishment - as younger people always can't help but be - and more concerned with spending my time well, spending time with my family, and reading, learning things.

Jonathan Safran Foer

A few years back I was more a candidate for skid row bum than an Emmy. If I hadn't stopped drinking, I'd be playing handball with John Belushi right now.

John Larroquette

Sobriety and health is the greatest thing.

Jeff Bridges

Whoever is content with the world, and who profits from its lack of justice, does not want to change it.

Friedrich Durrenmatt

I'm not stupid!' In Bean's experience, that was a sentence never uttered except to prove its own inaccuracy.

Orson Scott Card

Total war is no longer war waged by all members of one national community against all those of another. It is total... because it may well involve the whole world.

Jean-Paul Sartre

It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.

Margaret Thatcher

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.

Carl Sagan

I spend plenty of time in London and it doesn't scare me, but it's a lonely place, even if you've got friends there. My job takes me all around the world, meeting lots of interesting people. But I think if I couldn't get home, if I couldn't get back to what I consider my real life I'd be frightened.

Shirley Henderson

Often when He comes, He finds the soul occupied. Other guests are there, and He has to turn away. He cannot gain entry, for we love and desire other things; therefore, His gifts, which He is offering to everyone unceasingly, must remain outside.

Johannes Tauler

My wife gets pampered pretty well. She's had me trained since she was pregnant, when I started making her oatmeal with fresh berries every morning.

Michael Weatherly

And beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or spring-time, or the reflection in dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has its divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it.

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dori
