M*A*S*H offered real characters and everybody identified with them because they had such soul. The humor was intelligent and it always assumed that you had an intellect.

Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.

Ansel Adams

Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.

Edwin Arlington Robinson

I don't think the relationship between novels and realities are one to one. Of course novels play different roles. It's essentially just a long narrative form. What you use that long narrative form for can be very different.

Margaret Atwood

That's the thing about faith. If you don't have it you can't understand it. And if you do, no explanation is necessary

Major Kira Nerys

Many women, particularly young women, have claimed the right to use the most explicit sex terms, including extremely vulgar ones, in public as well as private. But it is men, far more than women, who have been liberated by this change. For now that women use these terms, men no longer need to watch their own language in the presence of women. But is this a gain for women?

Margaret Mead

As we sail about our lives, conflicts arise as emotions are eradicated by sadness and anger. Fireworks of terror, love, and loss fill the once clear sky. And yet, humans are clueless to see what awaits them as they continue to wallow into self-pity. Each day means gaining new insight and developing maturity. Each day means making plentiful mistakes and befuddlement. Each day means falling in love and betraying others. Each day means one day closer to death. We want to continue living, yet we want to die. We want to love, yet we want to hate. We can say that humans are contrary.
