Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.

My dad's gay experiences really had a very positive influence on me and my straight relationships - how to better accept all the weirdness and ambiguity and ups and downs and paradoxes. I knew from the beginning I was writing about love.

Mike Mills

Godot is whatever it is in life that you are waiting for: 'I'm waiting to win the lottery. I'm waiting to fall in love'. For me, as a child, it was Christmas. At least that eventually came.

Ian Mckellen

The general who is able to persuade his forces that there is victory, even where there seems to be defeat, is one who will inspire them to fight against apparently impossible odds. They will, indeed, never suffer defeat, but will fight on until annihilated by capture or death. The secret of success even in the more pacific engagements of life lies in this principle

H. E. E. Hayes

To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven.

Karen Sunde

A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.

Texas Guinan

If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst forth at once in the sky, that would be like the splendour of the Mighty One. I am mighty, world-destroying Time

Bhagavad Gita

Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.

Henry David Thoreau

The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.

Ibn Gabirol

Continuous excellent effort, not maximum strength or superior IQ, is thekey to unlocking your potential as an achiever.

Greg Werner

Loyalty to petrified opinions never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul in this world -- and never will.

Mark Twain

Man is an animal which, alone among the animals, refuses to be satisfied by the fulfillment of animal desires.

Alexander Graham Bell

It will be I, it will be the silence, where I am, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on.

Samuel Beckett
