I ran into Ellen at a photo shoot. She took my breath away. That had never happened to me in my life.

And now I depart hence condemned by you to suffer the penalty of death, and they, too, go their ways condemned by the truth to suffer the penalty of villainy and wrong; and I must abide by my award - let them abide by theirs.

Plato

No barber shaves so close but another finds his work.

English Proverb

I love to entertain, I love to make people laugh, cry, and move them, perhaps moving them in their lives.

Corbin Bernsen

For a novelist, a given historic situation is an anthropologic laboratory in which he explores his basic question: What is human existence?

Milan Kundera

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.

Douglas Adams

Chorus : Ye Children of Man! whose life is a span, / Protracted with sorrow from day to day, / Naked and featherless, feeble and querulous, / Sickly, calamitous creatures of clay!

Aristophanes

How is the Empire?

King George V

Truth is the only merit that gives dignity and worth to history.

John Acton

Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.

H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

In the history of the treatment of depression, there was the dunking stool, purging of the bowels of black bile, hoses, attempts to shock the patient. All of these represent hatred or aggression towards what depression represents in the patient.

James Hillman

At no previous period has mankind been faced by a half-century which so paradoxically united violence and progress. Its greater and lesser wars and long series of major assassinations have been strangely combined with the liberation of more societies and individuals than ever before in history, and by the transformation of millions of second-class citizens -- women, workers and the members of subject races -- to a stage at which first-rate achievement is no longer inhibited even if opportunities are not yet complete.

Vera Brittain

The things that are priceless to my heart carry no currency where we are going.
