New Orleans, more than many places I know, actually tangibly lives its culture. It's not just a residual of life it's a part of life. Music is at every major milestone of our life: birth, marriage, death. It's our culture.

Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.

G. K. Chesterton

There's a logic to dreams that doesn't necessarily follow linear narrative. You don't know why things happen, it's your subconscious pushing you, to give you information.

Justin Theroux

Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?

Jim Bouton

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.

Warren G. Bennis

Life is a campaign not a battle, and has its defeats as well as its victories.

Don Piatt

The only thing set in stone are dumb quotes and names of dead people. Everything else is subject to change.

At last, in 1611, was made, under the auspices of King James, the famous King James version and this is the great literary monument of the English language.

Lafcadio Hearn

If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

Roald Dahl

I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act.

Kevin Bacon

How hard to realize that every camp of men or beast has this glorious starry firmament for a roof! In such places standing alone on the mountaintop it is easy to realize that whatever special nests we make---leaves and moss like the marmots and birds, or tents or piled stone---we all dwell in a house of one room---the world with a firmament for its roof---and are sailing the celestial spaces without leaving any track.

John Muir, John of the Mountains

And oh, Claudia, Claudilla, ask me to do something -something that I can do. Do not ask me to forget you or to be indifferent to you. Do not ask me to have no interest in how you pass your time. But if we are separated, set me a task, something that will be a daily link with you.

Thornton Wilder

Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.
