Neither of us says the word love, not once. It would be tempting fate; it would be romance, bad luck.

Lofty posts make great men greater still, and small men much smaller.

Jean de la Bruyere

Movies will end up being this esoteric art form, where only singular people will put films out in a small group of theaters.

How many of our daydreams would darken into nightmares, were there a danger of their coming true!

Logan Pearsall Smith

But if a person has had the sense of the Call -- the feeling that there's an adventure for him -- and if he doesn't follow that, but remains in the society because it's safe and secure, then life dries up. And then he comes to that condition in late middle age: he's gotten to the top of the ladder, and found that it's against the wrong wall.If you have the guts to follow the risk, however, life opens, opens, opens up all along the line. I'm not superstitious, but I do believe in spiritual magic, you might say. I feel that if one follows what I call one's bliss -- the thing that really gets you deep in your gut and that you feel is your life -- doors will open up. They do! They have in my life and they have in many lives that I know of.http://www.michaelherman.com/openspacetechnology/invitingorg/08campbell.html

Joseph Campbell, From An Open Li

Christine Zolendz

Big whirls have little whirls,That feed on their velocity;And little whirls have lesser whirls,And so on to viscosity.

Lewis Fry Richardson

From the moment I liberated Brigitte, the moment I showed her how to be truly herself, our marriage was all downhill.

Roger Vadim

I have a great deal of company in my house; especially in the morning, when nobody calls.

Henry David Thoreau

There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and, when they do that, you sometimes flatten out.

Kevin Costner

The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much. In public affairs, in the rebuilding of civilization, something less dramatic and emotional is needed, namely tolerance.

E. M. Forster

There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind.
