Mom worked with autistic children.

Yes, I believe blue material is funny, but if that's all you've got, you're dead in the water. It's not good.

Howard Stern

First of all: what is work? Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so. The first one is unpleasant and ill paid; the second is pleasant and highly paid.

Bertrand Russell

I know people think we drive around in these nice cars and we do whatever we want and our parents will pay our credit cards, but that's not the case. Sure, my parents were generous I got a nice car at 16, but at 18 I was cut off. I've worked really hard. I opened the store myself.

Kim Kardashian

Against boredom the gods themselves fight in vain.

Friedrich Nietzsche

It wasn't like I was self-motivated. My dad started me. It was his dream before it was mine.

Venus Williams

The obstinacy of cleverness and reason is nothing to the obstinacy of folly and inanity.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

I wish I wasn't an imperial highness or an ex-grand duchess. I'm sick of people doing things to me because of what I am. Girl-in-white-dress. Short-one-with-fringe. Daughter-of-the-tsar. Child-of-the-ex-tyrant. I want people to look and see me, Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova, not the caboose on a train of grand duchesses. Someday, I promise myself, no one will be able to hear my name or look at my picture and suppose they know all about me. Someday I will do something bigger than what I am.

Sarah Miller

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

William Shakespeare

He alone loves the Creator perfectly who manifests a pure love for his neighbor.

Venerable Bede

If you only write when inspired, you may be a fairly decent poet, but you'll never be a novelist.

Neil Gaiman

The eyes see only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.

Robertson Davies

I always approach comedy roles pretending they aren't funny.

Brendan Fraser
