By nature's kindly disposition most questions which it is beyond a man's power to answer do not occur to him at all.

George Santayana

No poems can please for long or live that are written by water drinkers.

Horace

If thou remember'st not the slightest folly that ever love did make thee run into, thou hast not loved.

William Shakespeare

Literature for me isn't a workaday job, but something which involves desires, dreams and fantasy.

Antonio Tabucchi

There were so many of us who would have to live with things done and things left undone that day. Things that did not go right, things that seemed OK at the time because we could not see the future. If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can't know better until knowing better is useless.

John Green

I love European movies and I kind of grew up on European films.

Jodie Foster

Jerome Bruner

He knows not his own strength who hath not met adversity.

William Samuel Johnson

To like many people spontaneously and without effort is perhaps the greatest of all sources of personal happiness.

Bertrand Russell

The love that lasts longest is the love that is never returned.

W. Somerset Maugham

For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn't do it.

Frank Gehry

O, beauty aren't you enough?
