I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can't get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That's in friendship, that's a deal, that's a commitment. Don't give me paper - I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that's for life.

Were I to commence my administration again, the first question I would ask respecting a candidate would be, Does he use ardent spirits?

Thomas Jefferson

I mean, movies in general tend to sort of portray time, space and identity as these very solid things. Time moves forward. Space is what it is. You are you, and you're always you.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

I have been taunted on various platforms recently for becoming a neo-conservative, and have been the object of some fascinating web-site and blog stuff, from the isolationist Right as well as from the peaceniks, who both argue in a semi-literate way that neo-conservativism is Trotskyism and 'permanent revolution' reborn.Sometimes, you have to comb an overt anti-Semitism out of this propaganda before you can even read it straight. And I can guarantee you that none of these characters has any idea at all of what the theory of 'permanent revolution' originally meant.

Christopher Hitchens

Excitement in education and student productivity, the ability to get a result that you want from students, go together and cannot be separated.

The appearance of a cat is not controlled by the color of it's skin but by the content of its hairacter.

Brian Michael Cote

If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.

Oscar Wilde

The merest accident of microgeography had meant that the first man to hear the voice of Om, and who gave Om his view of humans, was a shepherd and not a goatherd. They have quite different ways of looking at the world, and the whole of history might have been different. For sheep are stupid, and have to be driven. But goats are intelligent, and need to be led.

Terry Pratchett

Wisdom denotes the pursuing of the best ends by the best means.

Francis Hutcheson

My only thrill is self inflicted hickies.

Rodney Dangerfield

The essay is a literary device for saying almost everything about almost anything

Aldous Huxley

Intimate or drastic elements in the work of others are untouchable and should not be commented upon even in their absence. Private conflicts, quarrels, sentiments, animosities are unavoidable in any human group. It is our duty towards creation to keep these in check in so far as they might deform and wreck the work process.

Jerzy Grotowski

A little talent is a good thing to have if you want to be a writer. But the only real requirement is the ability to remember every scar.

Stephen King
