Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.

To me, fantasy has always been the genre of escape, science fiction the genre of ideas. So if you can escape and have a little idea as well, maybe you have some kind of a cross-breed between the two.

How hard, how bitter it is to become a man!

Albert Camus

What if criticism is a science as well as an art? Not a pure or exact science, of course, but these phrases belong to a nineteenth-century cosmology which is no longer with us.

Northrop Frye

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

Khalil Gibran

I'd like to introduce someone who has just come into my life. I've admired him for 35 years. He's someone who represents integrity, honesty, art, and on top of that stuff I'm actually sleeping with him.

Shirley MacLaine

Publishing the lyric books, poetry or comics of other musicians I know. That's the thing I really want to break into!

Frank Iero

I want to be recognized as the best-no doubt about it. When they say all-pro middle linebacker, I want them to mean Butkus!

Dick Butkus

Being pretty on the inside means you don't hit your brother and you eat all your peas -- that's what my grandma taught me.

Elizabeth Heller

Always do what you are afraid to do.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper,That we may record our emptiness.

Kahlil Gibran

We become actors without realizing it, and actors without wanting to.

Henri Frederic Amiel

My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams. It appears that everything I saw and did has a new, and perhaps, more significant meaning, every time I see it. The earth is good. It is a privilege to live thereon.
