Never explain, never retract, never apologize. Just get the thing done and let them howl.

The word

Anthony Storr, Churchill

A question like the present should be disposed of without undue delay. But a State cannot be expected to move with the celerity of a private business man; it is enough if it proceeds, in the language of the English Chancery, with all deliberate speed.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Life doesn't just happen it's constructed through the history of power. And that's something I am interested in and so is the art world: a world that's trying to engage socially, with a leftist slant, to work out how we got here.

Mike Mills

Because most people are not sufficiently employed in themselves, they run about loose, hungering for employment, and satisfy themselves in various supererogatory occupations. The easiest of these occupations, which have all to do with making things already made, is the making of people: it is called the art of friendship.

Laura Riding

Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spend the rest of the day putting the pieces together.

Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of

A teacher enlarges people in all sorts of ways besides just his subject matter.

Wallace Stegner

A man in love is like a clipped coupon -- it's time to cash in.

Mae West

I used to travel in tennis shoes I am just not allowed to anymore. I'm an old hippie from San Francisco.

Amy Irving

You know being relevant or coming up with something interesting, funny to say about what's current is just as hard as it might ever be depending on the serendipity of it all.

Lily Tomlin

A new untruth is better than an old truth.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

The reason I met my husband was because I remembered a friend's birthday. The moral of the story is: Remember people's birthdays.

Julianna Margulies

Insurance is like marriage. You pay, pay, pay, and you never get anything back.

Al Bundy
