One of the things I've started doing lately is tracking my dreams. I feel like there's a lot of information there and you can really bring those emotions to the situations that may feel mundane or familiar. That gives them new life and gives you a new relationship with it - if that makes any sort of sense.

Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.

Mark Twain

The thing with pain is that it demands to be felt

John Green

That which, perhaps, hears more nonsense than anything in the world, is a picture in a museum.

Edmond de Goncourt

To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse.

Barbara Tuchman

A chip on the shoulder indicates that there is wood higher up.

Jack Herbert

People aren't going to throw the kind of money at certain people that they used to.

Philip Seymour Hoffman

I took several long walks in the Wright and adjacent Taylor Valleys. I did not feel insignificant on these journeys, dwarfed or shrugged off by the land, but superfluous. It is a difficult landscape to enter, and to develop a rapport with. It is not inimical or hostile, but indifferent, utterly remote, even as you stand in it. The light itself is aloof.

Helen Slater

You see much more of your children once they leave home.

Lucille Ball

You can't rely just on talent to win.

Scott Young

Avoid shame but do not seek glory --nothing so expensive as glory.

Sydney Smith

None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
