Jonathan Sacks

Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in.

Stephen Hawking

I don't think there's a date minimum or maximum. I don't get the whole 'All right, you've got to wait three days to call after the date.' If I got a number from a girl, I'd call that night. There's no science to it for me. You just do what it is that you feel like doing.

Channing Tatum

A crown, if it hurts us, is not worth wearing.

Pearl Bailey

Vincent Van Gogh

He made the city Athens, great as it was when he took it, the greatest and richest of all cities, and grew to be superior in power to kings and tyrants.

Plutarch

In times like the present men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and in eternity.

Abraham Lincoln

All my movies, like Revenge, are under two hours.

Tony Scott
