Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on.

One of my heroes, almost necessarily from what I'm saying, of course, is Borges, who is a supreme master of doing thing -- being a data bank -- and the beauty of this economy is that he could have written War and Peace in three or four pages; who knows, it might have been a better book.

Peter Greenaway

I've always written songs, even when I wasn't doing anything with my personal life in music.

Leif Garrett

Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.

Voltaire

What is at stake in the debate over health care is more than the mere crafting of policy. The issue is now the identity of the Democratic Party.

Thomas Frank

Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.

Socrates

Instead of hating, I have chosen to forgive and spend all of my positive energy on changing the world.

Camryn Manheim

When someone says it ain't the money, but its the principal of the thing, it's the money.

Elbert Hubbard

You can be good at technology and like fashion and art. You can be good at technology and be a jock. You can be good at technology and be a mom. You can do it your way, on your terms.

Marissa Mayer

I love the fact that it's not only about Star Trek, but about science fiction in general, and science.

Rene Auberjonois

Those that are a friend to themselves are sure to be a friend to all.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.

Martha Graham

You make mistakes, mistakes don't make you
