The reason I chose the movies that I did was based on where they were being filmed.

The more we believe that God hurts only to heal, the less we can believe that there is any use in begging for tenderness. A cruel man might be bribed...But suppose that what you are up against is a surgeon whose intentions are wholly good. The kinder and more conscientious he is, the more inexorably he will go on cutting. If he yielded to your entreaties, if he stopped before the operation was complete, all the pain up to that point would have been useless. But is it credible that such extremities of torture should be necessary for us? Well, take your choice. The tortures occur. If they are unnecessary, then there is no God or a bad one. If there is a good God, then these tortures are necessary. For no even moderately good Being could possibly inflict or permit them if they weren't. Either way, we're for it.

C.S. Lewis

Read Homer once, and you can read no more. For all books else appear so mean, and so poor. Verse will seem prose; but still persist to read, and Homer will be all the books you need.

Duke of Buckingham

Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tone the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Then trust me, there's nothing like drinkingSo pleasant on this side the grave;It keeps the unhappy from thinking,And makes e'en the valiant more brave.

Charles Dibdin, Nothing like Gro

What a strange world this would be if we all had the same sense of humor.

Bernard Williams

Seek peace, and pursue it. Proverbs 34:14

Bible

Standing in this presence, mindful of the solemnity of this occasion, feeling the emotions which no one may know until he senses the great weight of responsibility for himself, I must utter my belief in the divine inspiration of the founding fathers.

Warren Harding

Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.

Socrates

Conformity the natural instinct to passively yield to that vague something recognized as authority.

Mark Twain

I think one of the terrible things today is that people have this deathly fear of food: fear of eggs, say, or fear of butter. Most doctors feel that you can have a little bit of everything.

Julia Child

Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Parents should not smoke in order to discourage their kids from smoking. A child is more likely to smoke when they have been raised in the environment of a smoker.
