One must divide one's time between politics and equations. But our equations are much more important to me, because politics is for the present, while our equations are for eternity.

No vision and you perish; No Ideal, and you're lost; Your heart must ever cherish Some faith at any cost. Some hope, some dream to cling to, Some rainbow in the sky, Some melody to sing to, Some service that is high.

Harriet Du Autermont

History is but a confused heap of facts.

Lord Chesterfield

When our opponents on the Left have no serious ideas of their own, they resort to emotional appeals that play up Americans' fears about the future.

The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half-piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.

Raymond Chandler

The comic is the perception of the opposite; humor is the feeling of it.

What I am going to tell you about is what we teach our physics students in the third or fourth year of graduate school...

Richard P. Feynman

Truth sits upon the lips of dying men.

Matthew Arnold

Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.

J. K. Rowling

I turned into a workaholic to the point of where my health was in jeopardy.

Tab Hunter

The instinct of nearly all societies is to lock up anybody who is truly free. First, society begins by trying to beat you up. If this fails, they try to poison you. If this fails too, the finish by loading honors on your head.

Jean Cocteau

Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because listen to pop music?

John Cusack
