Life and death are important. Don't suffer them in vain.

I don't fancy myself a political commentator. I hate politics. I hate it.

Glenn Beck

I've never chased fame. I came into this business to be a theatre actress. I was nine when I first appeared on stage. But I can't say I would turn my back on fortune. I'm someone who enjoys the benefits of money.

Joan Collins

One of the great undiscovered joys of life comes from doing everything one attempts to the best of one's ability. There is a special sense of satisfaction, a pride in surveying such a work, a work which is rounded, full, exact, complete in its parts, which the superficial person who leaves his or her work in a slovenly, slipshod, half-finished condition, can never know. It is this conscientious completeness which turns any work into art. The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement.

Og Mandino

Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.

H. L. Mencken

Silverfish looked down. Oh. Are you a dwarf? Cuddy gave him a blank stare. Are you a giant? He said. Me? Of course not! Ah. Then I must be a dwarf, yes. Right! Right!

Terry Pratchett

Sin is a gravitation.

Victor Hugo

In our nature, however, there is a provision, alike marvelous and merciful, that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present torture, but chiefly by the pang that rankles after it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

We can bear to be deprived of everything but our self-conceit.

William Hazlitt

Does art reflect life? In movies, yes. Because more than any other art form, films have been a mirror held up to society's porous face.

Marjorie Rosen

(it was) beautiful, like so many senseless things.

Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly

A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.

Roy H. Williams

Be your own palace, or the world is your jail.

John Donne
