The New Women! I could barely recognize them as being of the same sex as myself, their buttocks arrogant in tight jeans, openly inviting, breasts falling free and shameless and feeling no apparent obligation to smile, look pleasant or keep their voices low. And how they live! Just look at them to know how! If a man doesn't bring them to orgasm, they look for another who does. If by mistake they fall pregnant, they abort by vacuum aspiration. If they don't like the food, they push the plate away. If the job doesn't suit them, they hand in their notice. They are satiated by everything, hungry for nothing. They are what I wanted to be; they are what I worked for them to be: and now I see them, I hate them.

One might think that the money value of an invention constitutes its reward to the man who loves his work. But speaking for myself, I can honestly say this is not so... I continue to find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.

Thomas Alva Edison

Learning is finding out what we already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers and teachers.

Richard Bach, Illusions: Reflect

I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments.

Michael Landon

At first, dreams seem impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable.

Christopher Reeve

As an actor, you really want to respect and honor the script. You want to try to be in the moment and you also realize that you're one part of a bigger picture and when they call action, you have your dance.

Carrie-Anne Moss

If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.

Sophocles

...why did we wait for any thing?--why not seize the pleasure at once?--How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!

Jane Austen

Land is the secure ground of home, the sea is like life, the outside, the unknown.

Stephen Gardiner

I'm happy with my place in the firmament here. I like to produce movies and that's where I want to be.

Joel Silver

Applaud us when we run, Console us when we fall, Cheer us when we recover.

Edmund Burke

Star-crossed lovers desperate to get home together. Two hearts beating as one. Romance.

Suzanne Collins

Let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the state, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world.

Ronald Reagan
