Novels are food for the leftover hours of life, the in-between times, the moments of waiting.

I'm disappointed in acting as a craft. I want everything to go back to Orson Welles and fake noses and changing your voice. It's become so much about personality.

Skeet Ulrich

When I tour, I stuff fridges full of organic food and stick to that.

Avril Lavigne

Fidel Castro, Speech, Chile, Nov

I cannot spare the luxury of believing that all things beautiful are what they seem.

FitzGreene Halleck

Scientists will eventually stop flailing around with solar power and focus their efforts on harnessing the only truly unlimited source of energy on the planet: stupidity. I predict that in the future, scientists will learn how to convert stupidity into clean fuel.

Scott Adams

Lindsey Graham

The point I am making is that in the more primitive forms of society the individual is merely a unit in more developed forms of society he is an independent personality.

Herbert Read

Ray Bradbury, From the foreward

Sexual intercourse began in 1963 (which was rather late for me) -- Between the end of the Chatterley ban and the Beatles first LP.

Philip Larkin
