Mend your speech a little, Lest you may mar your fortunes.

What the world calls originality is only an unaccustomed method of tickling it

George Bernard Shaw

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.

Ray Bradbury

The things other people have put into my head, at any rate, do not fit together nicely, are often useless and ugly, are out of proportion with one another, are out of proportion with life as it really is outside my head.

Kurt Vonnegut

I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn't itch.

Gilda Radner

Seeing yourself in print is such an amazing concept: you can get so much attention without having to actually show up somewhere... You don't have to dress up, for instance, and you can't hear them boo you right away.

Anne Lamott

All things tend to corrupt perverted minds.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The people I'm furious with are the Women's Liberationists. They keep getting up on soapboxes and proclaiming women are brighter than men. That's true, but it should be kept quiet or it ruins the whole racket.

Anita Loos

A woman isn't all that different from a bonfire. A fire's a beautiful thing, right? Something you can't take your eyes off, when it's burning. If you can keep it contained, it'll throw light and heat for you. It's only when it gets out of control that you have to go on the offensive.

Jodi Picoult

When someone does something good, applaud! You will make two people happy.

Samuel Goldwyn

I don't want to make movies for kids, and I don't want to make movies for adults either.

Kristen Stewart

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

Charles Kingsley

I live and love in God's peculiar light.

Michelangelo
