Marilyn Manson

Nothing endures but change.

Heraclitus

I do smoke in real life. A lot. We're all smoking right now in fact.

Michael Imperioli

To have a great man for a friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who have, fear it.

Horace

Thomas Szasz

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?

Bible

You know who is against democracy in the Middle East? The husbands. They got used to their way of life. Now, the traditional way of life must change. Everybody must change. If you don't give equal rights to women, you can't progress.

Shimon Peres

Amor Towles

The best way to fill time is to waste it.

Marguerite Duras

I think I succeeded as a writer because I did not come out of an English department. I used to write in the chemistry department. And I wrote some good stuff. If I had been in the English department, the prof would have looked at my short stories, congratulated me on my talent, and then showed me how Joyce or Hemingway handled the same elements of the short story. The prof would have placed me in competition with the greatest writers of all time, and that would have ended my writing career.

Kurt Vonnegut
