There are going to be little victories that we claim, even if it's finishing 15th and putting the car back in hauler without a scratch on it.

Kurt Busch

The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will the ultimate Word from God.

Jim Elliot

There are things so horrible that even the dark is afraid of them. Most people don't know this and this is just as well because the world could not really operate if everyone stayed in bed with the blankets over their head, which is what would happen if people knew what horrors lay a shadow's width away.

Terry Pratchett

Dylan Thomas

I mean, look, I love movies, not just the ones I make... In fact, I don't like the movies I make very much.

Alexander Payne

My father wants me to be like my brother, but I can't be.
