Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.

What we must try to be, of course, is ourselves and wholeheartedly. We must find out what we really are and what we really want.

Nelson Boswell

As records of courts and justice are admissible, it can easily be proved that powerful and malevolent magicians once existed and were a scourge to mankind. The evidence (including confession) upon which certain women were convicted of witchcraft and executed was without a flaw; it is still unimpeachable. The judges' decisions based on it were sound in logic and in law. Nothing in any existing court was ever more thoroughly proved than the charges of witchcraft and sorcery for which so many suffered death. If there were no witches, human testimony and human reason are alike destitute of value.

Ambrose Bierce

Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.

Walt Disney

Civilized life has altogether grown too tame, and, if it is to be stable, it must provide a harmless outlets for the impulses which our remote ancestors satisfied in hunting

Bertrand Russell

If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient at others, so bewildered and so weak and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control We are, to be sure, a miracle every way but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out.

Jane Austen

He has done things that caused me to doubt His wisdom, but never His existence.

Paulo Coelho

It's better to bet on this life than on the next.

Albert Camus

I have nothing but respect for HBO.

James Gandolfini

Normally, I name my characters after famous comedians.

Paula Danziger

In the future, when Microsoft leaves a security-flaw in their code it won't mean that somebody hacks your computer. It will mean that somebody takes control of your servant robot and it stands in your bedroom doorway sharpening a knife and watching you sleep.

Daniel H. Wilson

No real gentleman will tell the naked truth in the presence of ladies.

Mark Twain

I like bawdy humor. I love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor.

Betty White
