My mom had gotten a Super 8 camera to make home movies with, and my brother and me got our hands on it and ran with it.

A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding.

Marshall McLuhan

One is never fortunate or as unfortunate as one imagines.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

I wasn't very good about juggling family and my career. I was interested in who was coming to the children's birthday party, what my son was writing. I was thinking about Legos.

Jill Clayburgh

The world must be made safe for democracy.

Woodrow Wilson

Medieval learning was really advanced.

Terry Jones

Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.

Pope John Paul II

By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.

Richard Dawkins

I know I did the right thing by taking time off to raise my son. But it also came at a price. I turned down many opportunities over the years because I didn't want to leave him for long periods of time. And in Hollywood, as in any business, the calls stop coming when you don't answer.

Arsenio Hall

I guessed life was like that. You gained and you lost, and if you saved anything from the ruins, even if only a shred of self-respect, it was enough to take you through the next bit.

Dick Francis

Growing up in Huntington Beach, you were either a traditional sports athlete, a skateboarder, or a surfer. I got my first skateboard when I was five and skated off and on over the years, did a little BMX racing as a kid, and then in my freshman or sophomore year I started getting a little bit more into skateboarding.

Jason Lee

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

Anais Nin

Society's double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.
