There is only one science, physics: everything else is social work.

Let's not quibble! I'm the foe of moderation, the champion of excess. If I may lift a line from a die-hard whose identity is lost in the shuffle, I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.

Tallulah Bankhead

Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?

David Byrne

As an actor, there is room for a certain amount of creativity, but you're always ultimately going to be saying somebody else's words. I don't think I'd have the stamina, skill or ability to write a novel, but I'd love to write short stories and poetry, because those are my two passions.

Daniel Radcliffe

The future is built on brains, not prom court, as most people can tell you after attending their high school reunion. But you'd never know it by talking to kids or listening to the messages they get from the culture and even from their schools.

Anna Quindlen

Let my reader who is puzzled by my awkward explanations close his eyes for no more than two minutes, and see if he does not find himself suddenly not a compact human being at all, but only a consciousness on a sea of sound and touch . . .

Shirley Jackson, The Bird's Nest

Nobody's a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It's hard to stay on top.

Paul Coffey

Ours is an excessively conscious age. We know so much, we feel so little.

David Herbert Lawrence

Money is not necessarily, although it helps a lot for happiness, it's not necessarily the best way to be happy, to be rich, you know.

Eric Ripert

You must not blame me if I do talk to the clouds.

Henry David Thoreau

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.

Pope John Paul II

The Angels were all singing out of tune, and hoarse with having little else to do, excepting to wind up the sun and moon or curb a runaway young star or two.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

Money will come to you when you are doing the right thing.
