I like to spend time in the past, with the things that have been important to me.

Time is not measured by the passing of years, but by what one does, what one feels and what one achieves.

Jawaharlal Nehru

To marry unequally is to suffer equally.

Henri Frederic Amiel

The teacher, like the artist and the philosopher, can perform his work adequately only if he feels himself to be an individual directed by an inner creative impulse, not dominated and fettered by an outside authority.

Bertrand Russell

A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper.

Stanley Kubrick

This is one of those cases in which the imagination is baffled by the facts.

Adam Smith

The fact is that we all seem capable of living, because at some time or other we have taken refuge in a lie, in blindness, in enthusiasm, in optimism, in some conviction, in pessimism or something of the sort. He has never taken refuge in anything. He is absolutely incapable of lying. He has nothing to take refuge in, no shelter. It's as if he were naked and everyone else had clothes on.

Milena Jesenska

After love, the most sacred gift you can give is your labor.

Don Alan Pennebaker

I have always kept one end in view, namely . . . to conduct a well-regulated church music to the honour of God.

Johann Sebastian Bach

Bush is morally a universalist. For instance, he says the freedom is good, the same thing is good, all over the world. So in that sense he's a universalist.

Peter Singer

There is an election going on all the time... the Lord votes for you and Satan votes against you, and you must cast the deciding vote.

Courage and grace are a formidable mixture. The only place to see it is in the bullring.

Marlene Dietrich

There is a cheap literature that speaks to us of the need of escape. It is true that when we travel we are in search of distance. But distance is not to be found. It melts away. And escape has never led anywhere. The moment a man finds that he must play the races, go the Arctic, or make war in order to feel himself alive, that man has begin to spin the strands that bind him to other men and to the world. But what wretched strands! A civilization that is really strong fills man to the brim, though he never stir. What are we worth when motionless, is the question.

Antoine De SaintExupery
