One can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology.

Noam Chomsky

There is something that is much more scarce, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability.

Robert Half

You have to set the tone and the pace, define objectives and strategies, demonstrate through personal example what you expect from others.

Stanley C. Gault

Moreover, in the experimental sciences, the scientific fraternity must test a new theory to destruction, if possible.

Peter D. Mitchell

Music should always be a means of bridging gaps and uniting people. The beauty of music is that it can -- and should -- gather a wide variety of concepts in a way that's universal.

Gloria Estefan

I know music is subjective.

Joan Jett

Without the errors which are active in every psychical pleasure and displeasrue a humanity would never have come into existence--whose fundamental feeling is and remains that man is the free being in a world of unfreedom, the external miracle worker whether he does good or ill, the astonishing exception, the superbeast and almost-god, the meaning of creation which cannot be thought away, the solution of the cosmic riddle, the mighty ruler over nature and the despiser of it, the creature which calls its history world history!--Vanitas vanitatum homo.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations. Moviemaking is a harsh, volatile business, and unless you can be ruthless, too, there's a good chance that you are going to disappear off the scene pretty quickly.

Tom Hanks

What win I, if I gain the thing I seek?A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy.Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week?Or sells eternity to get a toy?For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy?Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown,Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down?

William Shakespeare

Marriage: A ceremony in which rings are put on the finger of the lady and through the nose of the gentleman.

Herbert Spencer

Beauty comes from a life well lived. If you've lived well, your smile lines are in the right places, and your frown lines aren't too bad, what more do you need?

Jennifer Garner

In life, in true life, there can be nothing better than what is. Wanting something different than what is, is blasphemy.

Leo Tolstoy
