At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.

If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time.

Octavio Paz

The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.

Susan Sontag

You mustn't always believe what I say. Questions tempt you to tell lies, particularly when there is no answer.

Pablo Picasso

Hope is a good breakfast but a bad supper.

Francis Bacon

Mona Lisa is the only beauty who went through history and retained her reputation.

Will Rogers

When you put something out there into the world, there's all these words you don't want to hear, that you hope people don't say. I don't like anything that starts with 're' - like retro, reinvent, recreate - I hate that. It's always like living in the past - copying, emulating.

Jack White

My love is like the shape your mouth makes while you whistle. Would you mind if I accompanied you on my harmonica? ?

Jarod Kintz

I look at myself as an audience member. I still love movies, and I still go and sit in the back of the big dark room with everybody else, and I want the same thrill.

Samuel L. Jackson

The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop.

Edward Conklin

I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.

Richard P. Feynman

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

My mom knows when something is real and something is not.

Christina Ricci
