People shouldn't trust artists and they shouldn't trust art. Part of the fun of art is that it invites you to interpret it.

But when one believes that you've been appointed by God for a particular mission in history, you have to be very careful about that, how you speak about that. Where is the self-reflection in that? Where is the humility in that?

Jim Wallis

And my dad, you're a great actor but you're a better father.

Angelina Jolie

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary the evil it does is permanent.

Mahatma Gandhi

For a long time the people at my shows were sort of the Pantera-tattoo trucker guys, really cool dudes, but I don't know what happened to them. That's the crowd that I like, the ones that don't get so offended just to be offended.

Dave Attell

Fame - a few words upon a tombstone, and the truth of those not to be depended on.

Christian Nestell Bovee

People will insist on treating the mons Veneris as though it were Mount Everest. Too silly!

Aldous Huxley

Censure is the tax a man pays to the public for being eminent.

Jonathan Swift

Life forms illogical patterns. It is haphazard and full of beauties which I try to catch as they fly by, for who knows whether any of them will ever return?

Margot Fonteyn

When we have reached the depths of despair, only then can we look up and see the light of hope.

Stephen Richards

I am an actor and I live in the world of pretend in my working capacity. I live in the world of my imagination.

Derek Jacobi

No man, proclaimed Donne , is an Island, and he was wrong. If we were not islands, we would be lost, drowned in each other's tragedies. We are insulated (a word that means, literally, remember, made into an island ) from the tragedy of others, by our island nature, and by the repetitive shape and form of the stories. The shape does not change: there was a human being who was born, lived, and then, by some means or another, died. There. You may fill in the details from your own experience. As unoriginal as any other tale, as unique as any other life. Lives are snowflakes-forming patterns we have seen before, as like one another as peas in a pod (and have you ever looked at peas in a pod? I mean, really looked at them? There's not a chance you'd mistake one for another, after a minute's close inspection), but still unique.

Neil Gaiman

The difference between what the most and the least learned people know is inexpressibly trivial in relation to that which is unknown.

Albert Einstein
