It was then that I realized I wasn't afraid to lose my life; I was afraid to lose the life I could've lived.

I know what I like when I see it, but no way have I ever become interested in learning about it.

Timothy Spall

Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.

Guy Debord

Glorious bouquets and storms of applause are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys. But to move an audience in such a role, to hear in the applause that unmistakable note which breaks through good theatre manners and comes from the heart, is to feel that you have won through to life itself. Such pleasure does not vanish with the fall of the curtain, but becomes part of one's own life.

Dame Alice Markova

I'm kidding about having only a few dollars. I might have a few dollars more.

James Brown

The greatest difficulty is that men do not think enough of themselves, do not consider what it is that they are sacrificing when they follow in a herd, or when they cater for their establishment

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The law is reason, free from passion.

Aristotle

You must see first before you can believe.

Raymond Holliwell

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.

William Shakespeare

Knowledge is more than equivalent to force.

Samuel Johnson

The Inside-Out approach to personal and interpersonal effectiveness means to start first with self; even more fundamentally, to start with the most inside part of self -- with your paradigms, your character, and your motives. The inside-out approach says that private victories precede public victories, that making and keeping promises to ourselves recedes making and keeping promises to others. It says it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves.

Stephen Covey

From now until the end of time no one else will ever see life with my eyes, and I mean to make the best of my chance.

Christopher Morley

Having books published is very destructive to writing. It is even worse than making love too much. Because when you make love too much at least you get a damned clarte that is like no other light. A very clear and hollow light.

Ernest Hemingway
