Now the work of art also represents a state of final equilibrium, of accomplished order and maximum relative entropy, and there are those who resent it. But art is not meant to stop the stream of life. Within a narrow span of duration and space the work of art concentrates a view of the human condition; and sometimes it marks the steps of progression, just as a man climbing the dark stairs of a medieval tower assures himself by the changing sights glimpsed through its narrow windows that he is getting somewhere after all.

Anais Nin, The Novel of the Futu

The darker the film, the more vital everyone's sense of humor is on set.

Eric Bana

I would like to spend my whole life traveling, if I could borrow another life to spend at home.

William Hazlitt

I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.

Laura Ingalls Wilder

I want kids to understand that strength doesn't come from what goes on around you. It comes from inside you, and that comes from Jesus Christ.

Willie Aames

In every fat book there is a thin book trying to get out.
