I love my relationship with Coach Vermeil because it is one of the few genuine relationships that I have.

The majority of pacifists either belong to obscure religious sects or are simply humanitarians who object to taking life and prefer not to follow their thoughts beyond that point. But there is a minority of intellectual pacifists, whose real though unacknowledged motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and admiration for totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as bad as the other, but if one looks closely at the writing of the younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any means express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely against Britain and the United States

George Orwell

Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character.

James Russell Lowell

Human relations are built on feeling, not on reason or knowledge. And feeling is not an exact science like all spiritual qualities, it has the vagueness of greatness about it.

Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr

How complicated and unpredictable the machinery of life really is.

Kurt Vonnegut

In all my study of history, I have never found a time or place I would rather have lived than now.

Orson Scott Card

Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very, very long time.

Chinese Proverb

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

George Santayana

Nothing can atone for the lack of modesty; without which beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable.

Sir Richard Steele

Because I'm the author of my screenplays I know what I'm looking for. It's true that I can be stubborn in demanding that I get what I want, but it's also a question of working with patience and love.

Michael Haneke

I think I'm extremely vulnerable and that in some ways I seek out rejection. Never feeling like you're getting that pat on the back from dad is probably at the heart of that.

Skeet Ulrich

There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.

Francis Bacon

Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your hand-break on.

Maxwell Maltz
