Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.

Geniuses are the luckiest of mortals because what they must do is the same as what they most want to do.

W. H. Auden

I hate banks. They do nothing positive for anybody except take care of themselves. They're first in with their fees and first out when there's trouble.

Earl Warren

As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that.

Vera Wang

I am going to-morrow where I shall find a man who has not one agreeable quality, who has neither manner nor sense to recommend him. Stupid men are the only ones worth knowing, after all.

Jane Austen

In the world today, real faith has in most case been re-placed by public opinion.

Leo Tolstoy

And it's wrong of you to think that love leaves room for nothing else. It's possible to love something and still condescend to it.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Two may keep counsel, putting one away

William Shakespeare

Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're allowed to sleep. It's always in the middle of the night, or you're half-awake or tired, when your critical faculties are switched off. So letting go is what the whole game is. Every time you try to put your finger on it, it slips away. You turn on the lights and the cockroaches run away. You can never grasp them...

John Lennon

It doesn't work if the bad guys kill his mother's uncle's friend's neighbor's pet dog. You've got to make the stakes high.

Steven Seagal

Talk is over-rated as a means of settling disputes.

Tom Cruise

Pro football is like nuclear warfare. There are no winners, only survivors.

Frank Gifford

Every day, we get a little bit closer to the kind of expertise and the kind of experience we're going to need to go there. I'd love to be the guy walking on Mars.

John L. Phillips
