I realize that every picture isn't a work of art.

Conrad Hall

I worked at a hot dog place, a bagel place, the Jersey Store and the hottest fashion joint around. I was getting too famous to work there anymore. I was almost showing up as a joke. I made $2,000 on my show the previous night and I'm going to go shopping during my five-hour shift.

After all, I believe that legends and myths are largely made of 'truth', and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.

J.R.R. Tolkien

They will maintain that Oedipus or Berenice or Hamlet or The Three Sisters performed with beauty and with love fires the spirit and gives them a reminder that daily drabness is not necessarily all.

Peter (Stephen Paul) Brook

Theodore White

I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.

Agatha Christie

Calamity is the perfect glass wherein we truly see and know ourselves.

William Davenant

As a philosopher, if I were speaking to a purely philosophic audience I should say that I ought to describe myself as an Agnostic, because I do not think that there is a conclusive argument by which one can prove that there is not a God. On the other hand, if I am to convey the right impression to the ordinary man in the street I think that I ought to say that I am an Atheist, because, when I say that I cannot prove that there is not a God, I ought to add equally that I cannot prove that there are not the Homeric gods.

Bertrand Russell

The anxiety of falling in love could not find repose except in bed.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The fate of the country... does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot-box once a year, but on what kind of man you drop from your chamber into the street every morning.

Henry David Thoreau

Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.

Victor Hugo

There is a looming chasm between what your brain knows and what your mind is capable of accessing.

David Eagleman
