The most positive step is to try to expand the employment base by making it, if not economically friendly, at least not economically disastrous, for studios to take on deficits.

You have to decide if you're going to wilt like a daisy or if you're just going to go forward and live the life that you've been granted.

Kevin Costner

Winter, a bad guest, sitteth with me at home; blue are my hands with his friendly handshaking

Friedrich Nietzsche

All great change in America begins at the dinner table.

Ronald Reagan

Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.

Corita Kent

Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.

Hermann Broch

Sarah Michelle Gellar

And whereas women had to fight to find their way into the workforce, men are now fighting to reclaim their place in the family structure.

Bob Geldof

Children love to be alone because alone is where they know themselves, and where they dream.

Roger Rosenblatt, The Man in the

We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming. We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are. They are gifts from the universe that we cannot refuse. But we can choose what we will contribute to life when each arrives.

Gary Zukav

The incipient institution needs some stabilizing principle to stop its premature demise. That stabilizing principle is the naturalization of social classifications. There needs to be an analogy by which the formal structure of a crucial set of social relations is found in the physical world, or in the supernatural world, or in eternity, anywhere, so long as it is not seen as a socially contrived arrangement. When the analogy is applied back and forth from one set of social relations to another, and from these back to nature, its recurring formal structure becomes easily recognized and endowed with self-validating truth... For discourse to be possible at all, the basic categories have to be agreed on. Nothing else but institutions can define sameness. Similarity is an institution.

Mary Douglas

The perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men, a pledge of sanity, and a protection from those perverse tendencies and gloomy insanities in which fine intellects sometimes lose themselves.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Conquest is the missionary of valor, and the hard impact of military virtues beats meanness out of the world.
