If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might in a moral point of view justify revolution; certainly would if such right were a vital one. But such is not our case.

I'm not on the run from anything and I'm not at all clear about what I'm running towards. But as some great writer put it, I want to be certain that when I arrive at death, I'm totally exhausted.

Fiona Shaw

Really, each era has its own false nostalgia. We all put a picket fence up around something. For my generation it was the '50s, and for other generations it will be something else. Change is scary for everyone, as is complexity, contradiction, and an uncertain future.

Gary Ross

I remember one day sitting at the pool and suddenly the tears were streaming down my cheeks. Why was I so unhappy? I had success. I had security. But it wasn't enough. I was exploding inside.

Ingrid Bergman

Richard Dawkins

Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.

Margaret Mead

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night, 'There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.' But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.

Marilyn Monroe

If frienship is your weakest point then you are the strongest person in the world.

Abraham Lincoln

Every man is his own chief enemy.

Anacharsis

Whenever you're the child of a famous person, you get judged in odd ways because of that.

Jeff Bridges

Write down the most important things you have to do tomorrow. Now, number them in the order of their true importance. The first thing tomorrow morning, start working on an item Number 1, and stay with it until completed. Then take item Number 2 the same way. Then Number 3, and so on. Don't worry if you don't complete everything on the schedule. At least you will have completed the most important projects before getting to the less important ones.

Ivy Lee

I told you growing starts from the inside first, honey, and in that way, you've been growing like wildfire.

Phoebe Stone

Sex is like snow; you never know how many inches you are going to get or how long it is going to last.
