I like to fill my tub up with water, then turn the shower on andact like I'm in a submarine that's been hit.

A man with a talent does what is expected of him, makes his way, constructs, is an engineer, a composer, a builder of bridges. It's the natural order of things that he construct objects outside himself and his family. The woman who does so is aberrant. We have to expiate for this cursed talent someone handed out to us, by mistake, in the black mystery of genetics.

Suppliers and especially manufacturers have market power because they have information about a product or a service that the customer does not and cannot have, and does not need if he can trust the brand. This explains the profitability of brands.

Peter Drucker

One is taught by experience to put a premium on those few people who can appreciate you for what you are.

Gail Godwin

Anger is never without an argument, but seldom with a good one.

Edward F. Halifax

Her body accepted my brutal seed and took it to swell within, just as the patient earth accepts a falling fruit into its tender soil to cradle and nourish it to grow. Came a time, just springtime last, our infant child pushed through the fragile barrier of her womb. Her legs branched out, just as the wood branches out from these eternal trees around us; but she was not hardy as they. My wife groaned with blood and ceased to breathe. Aye!, a scornful eve that bred the kind of pain only a god can withstand.

Roman Payne

Only with winter-patience can we bringThe deep desired, long-awaited spring.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

I love the live performances and Las Vegas. I also like making films that are being discovered by another generation. Having been a teen idol of the '60s is great because you realize you left your generation with a smile and good memories.

Connie Stevens

Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.

Miguel Angel Ruiz

Ah, great it is to believe the dream as we stand in youth by the starry stream; but a greater thing is to fight life through and say at the end, the dream is true!

Edwin Markham

The word which gives the key to the national vice is waste. And people who are wasteful are not wise, neither can they remain young and vigorous. In order to transmute energy to higher and more subtle levels one must first conserve it.

Henry Miller

I'm only a beer teetotaler, not a champagne teetotaler.

George Bernard Shaw

Out of nothing can come, and nothing can become nothing.
