Quotations offer one kind of break in what the eye can see, the ear can hear.

I guess what I learned the most was to feel lucky with what I have been able to accomplish and what I have and to feel humble about the people I have been able to work with.

Stephen Dorff

When I'm in love, I can't stand anyone.

Stefano Benni

It may be a reflection on human nature that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: You must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.

James Madison

It's obvious, but perhaps worth saying, that happiness has virtually nothing to do with the state of your intellect.

John Green

It is a revenge the devil sometimes takes upon the virtuous, that he entraps them by the force of the very passion they have suppressed and think themselves superior to.

George Santayana

Douglas Adams

Northumberland, thou ladder wherewithal the mounting Bolingbroke ascends my throne.

William Shakespeare

I hope what I do has an art to it, and as an artist you have to try new things and keep yourself entertained.

Craig Ferguson

Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.

Benjamin Franklin

Sorrow is the great idealizer.

James Russell Lowell

scepticism, as we know, can never be thoroughly applied, else life would come to a standstill

George Eliot
