Your law may be perfect, your knowledge of human affairs may be such as to enable you to apply it with wisdom and skill, and yet without individual acquaintance with men, their haunts and habits, the pursuit of the profession becomes difficult, slow, and expensive.

Life is made up of marble and mud.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

I have found it to be true that the older I've become the better my life has become.

Rush Limbaugh

if something does go wrong, here is my advice... KEEP CALM and CARRY ON.

Maira Kalman

Anna Quindlen

That in the soul which is called the mind is, before it thinks, not actually any real thing.

Aristotle

Dad was a very gentle, sweet man.

Tony Scott

There, right in the midst of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a permanent reminder that medicine is not food. Hence a mans reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.

C.S. Lewis

In the United States, we do a pretty good job of protecting iconic landscapes and postcard views, but the ocean gets no respect.

Jeff Goodell

The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

I spent all my time on my movies worried that people were eating and that the schedule was being kept, so to have experts in those areas giving me the brain space as a writer and director is huge.

Lena Dunham

We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.

C.S. Lewis

Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting.

Alan Dean Foster
