A man is known by the silence he keeps.

Great literature cannot grow from a neglected or impoverished soil. Only if we actually tend or care will it transpire that every hundred years or so we might get a Middlemarch.

P. D. James

I come from a profession which has suffered greatly because of the lack of civility. Lawyers treat each other poorly and it has come home to haunt them. The public will not tolerate a lack of civility.

James E. Rogers

I love you, A bushel and a peck, A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck. Hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap, Barrel and a heap and I'm talking in my sleep.

Frank Loesser

I know what I like when I see it, but no way have I ever become interested in learning about it.

Timothy Spall

Our imaginations are strong as children. Sometimes they get shoved aside, these imaginations. They get dusty and mildewed with age. The imagination is a muscle that has to be put to use or it shrivels.

Julianna Baggott

I spent two years in the Army. And my older brother, who was also a great positive influence on me, encouraged me to think about law school, and I said - well, I didn't have any money.

George J. Mitchell

When I write, I feel like an armless, legless man with a crayon in his mouth.

Kurt Vonnegut

You let me throw the bricks through the front window. You go in at the back and take the swag.

Ezra Pound

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

Ludwig van Beethoven

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Theodore Roosevelt

So it was out of necessity that Blackheart was born. I think it's great that now, 25 years later, we're not only putting out our own music, but are able to put out music by other bands. That's really exciting for us.

Joan Jett

Who that prohibits two people who have different views about God to love each other?
