What is past and cannot be prevented should not be grieved for.

It's cool for me because I'm a director, but I'm also a teacher. I'm a lover of cinema, and I love working with people who are hungry and have the energy to really do better work.

I first learned that there were black people living in some place called other than the United States in the western hemisphere when I was a very little boy, and my father told me that when he was a boy about my age, he wanted to be an Episcopal priest, because he so admired his priest, a black man from someplace called Haiti.

Henry Louis Gates

A man surprised is half beaten.

Thomas Fuller

Television is a medium because anything well done is rare.

Fred Allen

Armaments, universal debt, and planned obsolescence - those are the three pillars of Western prosperity. If war, waste, and moneylenders were abolished, you'd collapse. And while you people are overconsuming the rest of the world sinks more and more deeply into chronic disaster.

Aldous Huxley

Make sure you want it enough.

Frank Kingdon

To be happy, make others happy.

Stephen Richards

I feel pretty good when I get out of bed in the morning. I don't feel all beat up, which is nice.

Drew Bledsoe

God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain

C.S. Lewis

The individual must not merely wait and criticize, he must defend the cause the best he can. The fate of the world will be such as the world deserves.

Albert Einstein

I have a theory that the secret of marital happiness is simple: drink in different pubs to your other half.

Jilly Cooper
