Wisdom is a sacred communion.

You can lead a boy to college, but you cannot make him to think.

Elbert Hubbard

Change begets change. Nothing propagates so fast. If a man habituated to a narrow circle of cares and pleasures, out of which he seldom travels, step beyond it, though for never so brief a space, his departure from the monotonous scene on which he has been an actor of importance would seem to be the signal for instant confusion. The mine which Time has slowly dug beneath familiar objects is sprung in an instant; and what was rock before, becomes but sand and dust.

Charles Dickens

Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.

Bono

I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of Him.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Steve Israel

The relationship between an actor and a director is like a love story between a man and a woman. I'm sure sometimes I'm the woman.

Gerard Depardieu

From those to whom much is given, much is expected. I have been given much - the love of my family, the faith and trust of the people of New York, and the chance to lead this state. I am deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me.

Eliot Spitzer

A lot of what acting is paying attention.

Robert Redford

If the thought enunciates an object as a truth, it is only as a challenge to this object's own self-fulfillment.

Jean Baudrillard
