Not necessity, not desire --no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything --health, food, a place to live, entertainment --they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.

What greater gift than the love of a cat?

Charles Dickens

He who keeps his cool best wins.

Norman Cousins

Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience.

Dale Carnegie

Time is the justice that examines all offenders.

William Shakespeare

If they exert it not for good, they will for evil if they advance not knowledge, they will perpetuate ignorance.

Frances Wright

Christians should be ready for a change because Jesus was the greatest changer in history.

Ralph Abernathy

I think my imagination dictates the technologies I use. But at the same time, my imagination can be technologic. Sometimes I see a tool and I know immediately how to use it, but most of the time I use the tool for an idea I already have.

Michel Gondry

I imagined the Augustus Waters analysis of that comment: If I am playing basketball in heaven, does that imply a physical location of a heaven containing physical basketballs? Who makes the basketballs in question? Are there less fortunate souls in heaven who work in a celestial basketball factory so that I can play? Or did an omnipotent God create the basketballs out of the vacuum of space? Is this heaven in some kind of unobservable universe where the laws of physics don't apply, and if so, why in the hell would I be playing basketball when I could be flying or reading or looking at beautiful people or something else I actually enjoy? It's almost as if the way you imagine my dead self says more about you than either the person I was or whatever I am now.

John Green

No candidate can win a presidential race advocating gay marriage and opposing the military action in Iraq.

Dick Morris

Doing things like playing music, something that's so natural and basic to human function, running around in nature, eating delicious food. These things are intrinsic in basic, primordial to human beings, so that's sort of a way to return to a blank canvas, allowing my true personality to return.

Ezra Miller

London changes because of money. It's real estate. If they can build some offices or expensive apartments they will, it's money that changes everything in a city.

David Bailey

Well I'd certainly hate to interrupt your pleasant night stroll with my sudden death.

Cassandra Clare
