The mind, in proportion as it is cut off from free communication with nature, with revelation, with God, with itself, loses its life, just as the body droops when debarred from the air and the cheering light from heaven.

If a person is to get the meaning of life he must learn to like the facts about himself -- ugly as they may seem to his sentimental vanity -- before he can learn the truth behind the facts. And the truth is never ugly.

Eugene O'Neill

George Clooney is a super-human, he's just such an amazing human being, he taught me how to be a better person and a better actor!

I don't know how man will fight World War III, but I do know how they will fight World War IV with sticks and stones.

Albert Einstein

Things can fall apart, or threaten to, for many reasons, and then there's got to be a leap of faith. Ultimately, when you're at the edge, you have to go forward or backward if you go forward, you have to jump together.

Yo-Yo Ma

What is all that men have done and thought over thousands of years, compared with one moment of love. But in all Nature, too, it is what is nearest to perfection, what is most divinely beautiful! There all stairs lead from the threshold of life. From there we come, to there we go.

Friedrich Hölderlin

What they smell isn't the emotion of fear. What dogs can smell is the changes in a person's skin that suggest fear to the dog, anxiety, the way your skin sweats, the amount of uric acid that suddenly pours out of your pores.

Robert Crais

If you deny any affinity with another person or kind of person, if you declare it to be wholly different from yourself

Ursula K. LeGuin

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Thomas Moore

I like to say, jazz music is kind of like my musical equivalent of comfort food. You know, it's always where I go back to when I just want to feel sort of grounded.

Molly Ringwald

Warm summer sun, shine kindly here. Warm southern wind, blow softly here. Green sod above, lie light, lie light. Good night, dear Heart, Good night, good night.

Mark Twain

An excellent man; he has no enemies; and none of his friends like him.

Oscar Wilde

I object to people running down the future. I am going to live all the rest of my life there.

Charles Kettering
