Pleasure is Nature

It's amazing when you're playing to a crowd who barely understands English but they're singing parts of your song back to you.

Jason Derulo

With While You Were Sleeping, it was so much fun and such a Cinderella story, that I didn't want to do another romantic comedy. I wanted to do the opposite.

Bill Pullman

Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning -- an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

'Nil By Mouth' was a bit autobiographical, but as I always pointed out at the time, that's not my dad.

Gary Oldman

Isak Dinesen

Drill everything, mine everything, roll back regulations, tweak the science, expedite permits. Sound familiar? The Republicans offer up more 19th-Century solutions to our 21st-Century energy problems.

Jeff Goodell

Effort is only effort when it begins to hurt.

Jos

I have come to a resolution myself as I hope every good citizen will, never again to purchase any article of foreign manufacture which can be had of American make be the difference of price what it may.

Thomas Jefferson

I love opera, I love writing for the voice, I love telling stories with music.

Anthony Davis

If you think aficionados of a living Constitution want to bring you flexibility, think again. You think the death penalty is a good idea? Persuade your fellow citizens to adopt it. You want a right to abortion? Persuade your fellow citizens and enact it. That's flexibility.

Antonin Scalia

Nature is full of freaks, and now puts an old head on young shoulders, and then takes a young heart heating under fourscore winters.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Brevity is the body and soul of wit.

Jean Paul
