I have a lot of repression. So repression is what I make movies about.

The world of reality has its limits the world of imagination is boundless.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Between flattery and admiration there often flows a river of contempt.

Minna Antrim

Work: a dangerous disorder affecting high public functionaries who want to go fishing

Ambrose Bierce

All...religions show the same disparity between belief and practice, and each is safe till it tries to exclude the rest. Test each sect by its best or its worst as you will, by its high-water mark of virtue or its low-water mark of vice. But falsehood begins when you measure the ebb of any other religion against the flood-tide of your own. There is a noble and a base side to every history.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson

No wonder of it: sheer plod makes plough down sillionShine, and blue-bleak embers, ah my dear, Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermilion.

Gerard Manley Hopkins

No great wisdom can be reached without sacrifice.

C.S. Lewis

Wherever there are walls I shall inscribe this eternal accusation against Christianity upon them -- I can write in letters which make even the blind see. I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which no expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean, petty -- I call it the one immortal blemish of mankind.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I do want to try to put things in perspective today relative to the U.S.-Canada relationship. I would like to start by talking about how important this relationship is to the people of the United States.

Paul Cellucci

I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

Abraham Lincoln

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.

Mark Twain

The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nothing is more costly, nothing is more sterile, than vengeance.

Sir Winston Churchill
