Poetry is always slightly mysterious, and you wonder what is your relationship to it.

I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity.

Marilyn Monroe

During the 80s and 90s, we all became consumed with ourselves. In the 21st century, we've come back to simpler times. People are struggling economically and this has forced them to scale back the material aspects of their lives and realise the beauty of finding the simple joy in being with the people we love.

Julia Roberts

...since social relationships are always ambiguous, since my thought is only a unit, since my thoughts create rifts as much as they unite, since my words establish contacts by being spoken and create isolation by remaining unspoken, since an immense moat separates the subjective certitude that I have for myself from the objective reality that I represent to others, since I never stop finding myself guilty even though I feel I am innocent....Die Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die Grenzen meiner Welt

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus L

Many people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so.

Bertrand Russell

To me, the kitchen is a place of adventure and entirely fun, not drudgery. I can't think of anything better to do with family and friends than to be together to create something.

Ted Allen

Patience is not active; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength.

Edward George BulwerLytton

You lived too long, we have supped full with heroes, they waste their deaths on us.

C. D. Andrews

They say I can open movies, and that's nice in that it puts into people's minds that women can do it. It's not just Kevin Costner, not just Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not just the guys.

Julia Roberts

If someone loves you, they should not be envious of you pouring your heart and soul and time and energy into the things that you are passionate about, but instead....they should love you MORE because you are so involved in those things.

Sharon Swan

Slumps are like a soft bed. They're easy to get into and hard to get out of.

Johnny Bench

The secret of Happiness is Freedom, and the secret of Freedom, Courage.

Thucydides

Remember this practical piece of advice: Never come into the theatre with mud on your feet. Leave your dust and dirt outside. Check your little worries, squabbles, petty difficulties with your outside clothing -- all the things that ruin your life and draw your attention away from your art -- at the door.

Konstantin Stanislavisky
