People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love.

Employees make the best dates. You don't have to pick them up and they're always tax-deductible.

Andy Warhol

Friends show their love in times of trouble...

Euripides

The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.

Sir Winston Churchill

Alcohol is a very patient drug. It will wait for the alcoholic to pick it up one more time.

Mercedes McCambridge

I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker. The example of great and pure individuals is the only thing that can lead us to noble thoughts and deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and irresistibly invites abuse. Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus or Ghandi armed with the money-bags of Carnegie

Albert Einstein

It is quite possible to be both. I look upon myself as a man. Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.

Albert Einstein

He was, first and last, the born fighter, to whom the consciousness of being matched against a great adversary suffices and who can dispense with success. Life for him was an adventure, perilous indeed, but men are not made for safe havens. The fullness of life is in the hazards of life. And, at the worst, there is that in us which can turn defeat into victory.

Edith Hamilton

Few are sufficiently sensible of the importance of that economy in reading which selects, almost exclusively, the very first order of books. Why, except for some special reason, read an inferior book, at the very time you might be reading one of the highest order?

John W. Foster

I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night.

Lady Gaga

It's really cool to see glowsticks at the show, to see dance music culture infiltrating and becoming one with the metal community.

Jonathan Davis

Things were bad but now they are OK.

Harold J. Seymore

I was supposed to be waiting up here when you got back, only your Phoenix lot got in the way...Yes, they do that, said Dumbledore.
