Very often, all the activity of the human mind is directed not in revealing the truth, but in hiding the truth.

The world rides through space on the back of a turtle. This is one of the great ancient world myths, found wherever men and turtles were gathered together; the four elephants were an Indo-European sophistication. The idea has been lying in the lumber rooms of legend for centuries. All I had to do was grab it and run away before the alarms went off.There are no maps. You can't map a sense of humour. Anyway, what is a fantasy map but a space beyond which There Be Dragons? On the Discworld we know There Be Dragons Everywhere. They might not all have scales and forked tongues, but they Be Here all right, grinning and jostling and trying to sell you souvenirs.-Terry Pratchett sums up Discworld

Terry Pratchett

In love, women are professionals, men are amateurs.

Francois Truffaut

Actual life was chaos, but there was something terribly logical in the imagination. It was the imagination that set remorse to dog the feet of sin. It was the imagination that made each crime bear its misshapen brood. In the common world of fact the wicked were not punished, nor the good rewarded. Success was given to the strong, failure thrust upon the weak. That was all.

Oscar Wilde

I hope the Guggenheim plan will be revived.

David Rockefeller

Well, until this very day, I'm still learning.

Dennis Brown

I know some people say I can be funny. But there is always a deeper meaning to what I say. I am a socialist at heart and have the interests of the poor in mind. When people see how I manage to work my way out of tough situations, it gives them hope in their own life.

Lalu Prasad Yadav

The drying up a single tear has more of honest fame, than shedding seas of gore.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

The history of mankind is the history of ideas.

Luigi Pirandello

The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.

Henry David Thoreau

It is not what you give your friend, but what you are willing to give him that determines the quality of friendship.

Mary Dixon Thayer

If you let even a little sin into your heart, it's going to contaminate your prayers. Your Christian life will not achieve its full potential.

Bill Hybels

I would love to direct but I feel like directing is a whole separate craft and so I tend to respect it as a separate craft that I would need to study first. So, right now I'm still trying to do certain things as an actor and until I get bored of that or I feel completely fed by that then I'll move into directing.
