I love working in the theater.

I'd gone from being this art student messing about with music to this girl with a record deal, magazine front covers and all this hype. In many ways, it was everything I ever wanted, but when it happened all I felt was total, paralysing fear.

Florence Welch

The proof that man is the noblest of all creatures is that no other creature has ever denied it.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Pythagoras was the first person to call the universe Cosmos, describing it a kosmos. The Greek word means an equal presence of order and beauty.

Vanna Bonta

I'm still very connected to my family, to the world I grew up in. I understand what it means to be afraid that you can't pay a doctor's bill. Or to have to make the choice between buying a band uniform for a seventh-grader and making the insurance payment on time. That will never leave me. It was how I lived until I was well into my adult years.

Elizabeth Warren

Marvelous is the power which can be exercised, almost unconsciously, over a company, or an individual, or even upon a crowd by one person gifted with good temper, good digestion, good intellects, and good looks.

Anthony Trollope

It's self-effacing, it's hard-luck, the shtetl stories. All those Coasters things are an amalgam of Yiddish and black humor.

Jerry Leiber

In youth one has tears without grief, in old age grief without tears.

Jean Paul

In my opinion, actual heroism, like actual love, is a messy, painful, vulnerable business and I wanted to try to reflect that.

John Green

That man is prudent who neither hopes nor fears anything from the uncertain events of the future.

Anatole France

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

Helen Keller

Mankind flung its advance agents ever outward, ever outward. Eventually it flung them out into space, into the colorless, tasteless, weightless sea of outwardness without end. It flung them like stones.

Kurt Vonnegut

Today is just a good day in disguise.
