You know when Hollywood does a great big blockbuster that really wraps you up in a world, and lets you believe in extraordinary things that move you in some way, in an almost operatic sensibility? That to me is the most fun I have at the movies.

The kitchen's a laboratory, and everything that happens there has to do with science. It's biology, chemistry, physics. Yes, there's history. Yes, there's artistry. Yes, to all of that. But what happened there, what actually happens to the food is all science.

Alton Brown

Fools build houses, and wise men buy them.

English Proverb

Above all, film is a business... Independence is a really cool thing as you can be a bit more bold, and take a few more chances with what you do.

Mel Gibson

You know you've got problems when your head is hanging over the toilet, puking up your dinner, and what you're thinking of is your dad. And how he thinks you're not pretty.

Teresa Lo

Thomas Jefferson

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.

Albert Camus

He was gone and did not have time to tell him what I had just now realized: that I forgave him, and that she forgave us, and that we had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth.

John Green

It is unfair to blame man too fiercely for being pugnacious he learned the habit from Nature.

Christopher Morley

For the truly faithful, no miracle is necessary. For those who doubt, no miracle is sufficient.

Nancy Gibbs

He who has learnt to control his tongue has attained self-control in a great measure. When such a person speaks he will be heard with respect and attention. His words will be remembered, for they will be good and true. When one who is established in truth prays with a pure heart, then things he really needs come to him when they are really needed: he does not have to run after them. The man firmly established in truth gets the fruit of his actions without apparently doing anything. God, the source of all truth, supplies his needs and looks after his welfare.

B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Yoga

There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.

Theodore Roosevelt

Everyone detected with AIDS should be tattooed in the upper forearm, to protect common needle users, and on the buttock, to prevent the victimization of other homosexuals.

William F. Buckley
