Thomas Merton

Love is an ocean of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses.

Lord Thomas Dewar

Leave the table while you still feel you could eat a little more.

Helena Rubinstein

We have, let us face it and admit it, little influence. We prey on them, and we take from them, and we get by; we strip and we whore and we drink too much; we pump gas and we steal and we cheat and we exist in the cracks at the edges of society. Old gods, here in this new land without gods.

Neil Gaiman

Virginia Woolf

Theodore Roosevelt

I want to continue doing as big a variety of things as I can do, and if that means I have the honor of getting to do more feature work, I would love that. I know that if I make any other long-term TV commitments, it's not going to be on a drama.

Adam Arkin

It is sometimes a comfort to me to think that the aeroplane is changing the conditions of warfare. In the next great war, we may see that sight unprecedented in all history, a jingo with a bullet-hole in him.

George Orwell
