There were points in my life where I felt oddly irresistible to women. I'm not in that state now and that makes me sad.

No man worth his salt, no man of spirit and spine, no man for whom I could have any respect, could rejoice in the identification of Tallulah's husband. It's tough enough to be bogged down in a legend. It would be even tougher to marry one.

Tallulah Bankhead

People don't always realize that my parents shared a sense of intellectual curiosity and a love of reading and of history.

Caroline Kennedy

The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematizing the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray's Anatomy.

J. G. Ballard

The most beautiful women that history records are those who speak their beautiful minds.

Evette Carter

Much of the ill-tempered railing against women that has characterized the popular writing of the last two years is a half-hearted attempt to find a way back to a more balanced relationship between our biological selves and the world we have built. So women are scolded both for being mothers and for not being mothers, for wanting to eat their cake and have it too, and for not wanting to eat their cake and have it too.

Margaret Mead

How can Life grant us boon of living, compensate For dull grey ugliness and pregnant hate Unless we dare The soul's dominion? Each time we make a choice, we pay With courage to behold the resistless day, And count it fair.

Amelia Earhart

Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.

Samuel Johnson

Summer afternoon -- summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.

Henry James

Friendship's the wine of life: but friendship new... is neither strong nor pure.

Edward Young

In the Land of Memory the time is always .In the Kingdom of Ago, the clocks tick... but their hands never move.There is an Unfound Door(O lost)and memory is the key which opens it.

Stephen King

The secret of success is constancy of purpose.

Benjamin Disraeli

Adam and Eve are like imaginary number, like the square root of minus one... If you include it in your equation, you can calculate all manners of things, which cannot be imagined without it.

Philip Pullman
