One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.

What more fiendish proof of cosmic irresponsibility than a Nature which, having invented sex as a way to mix genes, then permits to arise, amid all its perfumed and hypnotic inducements to mate, a tireless tribe of spirochetes and viruses that torture and kill us for following orders?

John Updike

Let there be nothing within thee that is not very beautiful and very gentle, and there will be nothing without thee that is not beautiful and softened by the spell of thy presence.

James Allen

Do not keep on with a mockery of friendship after the substance is gone - but part, while you can part friends. Bury the carcass of friendship: it is not worth embalming.

William Hazlitt

We can all put weight on or lose weight.

Keith Emerson

Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.

Carl Gustav Jung

None can sense more deeply than you artists, ingenious creators of beauty that you are, something of the pathos with which God at the dawn of creation looked upon the work of his hands.

Pope John Paul II

Brains don't really smell, but what's amazing about the brain is that it's almost like scrambled eggs or soft tofu, almost like a gel. The brain controls so much of what we do, but you could put your finger right through it.

Ellen Pompeo

Yet a man may love a paradox, without losing either his wit or his honesty.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I created the Women's Federation for World Peace in order to restore all that woman originally lost. You American women don't need a man in the position of grandfather, parents, husband, elder or younger brother. You only need the true Adam.

Sun Myung Moon

I'm afraid of being lazy and complacent. I'm afraid of taking myself too seriously.

Barbara Hershey

It was stupid to hope, she knew. But sometimes hope was all you had.

Cassandra Clare

I enjoy looking at words on paper and visualizing how to make them come to life. As a director, the creative process is really amazing.
