I have learned not to read reviews. Period. And I hate reviewers. All of them, or at least all but two or three. Life is much simpler ignoring reviews and the nasty people who write them. Critics should find meaningful work.

Without out suffering, our work would just be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption. All the desolation of the poor people, not only their material poverty, but their spiritual destitution, must be redeemed. And we must share it, for only by being one with them can we redeem them by bringing God into their lives and bringing them to God.

Mother Theresa

Blemishes are hid by night and every fault forgiven; darkness makes any woman fair.

Ovid

I think poetry has lost an awful lot of its muscle because nobody knows any. Nobody has to memorize poetry.

Peter Davison

Man is a luxury loving animal. Take away play, fancies, and luxuries, and you will turn man into a dull, sluggish creature, barely energetic enough to obtain a bare subsistence. A society becomes stagnant when its people are too rational or too serious to be tempted by baubles.

Eric Hoffer

Our attitude is that we want to cross over. You can't go on making records just for your own hometown.

Cheryl James

I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.

Alan Rickman

Sometimes acting is really cool because it forces you to exercise certain muscles in your personality that you wouldn't normally be called upon in life.

Jenna Fischer

Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.

George Washington

A camel is a horse designed by committee.

Sir Alec Issigonis, The Guardian

An empty book is like an infant's soul, in which anything may be written. It is capable of all things, but containeth nothing. I have a mind to fill this with profitable wonders.

Thomas Traherne

Any time three New Yorkers get into a cab without an argument, a bank has just been robbed.

Phyllis Diller

For industry to settle in a country, you first need electricity for electricity, you need some trained workers for trained workers, you need some schools for schools you need some money for money, you need some industry.
