The relationship between reader and characters is very difficult. It is even more peculiar than the relationship between the writer and his characters.

Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody's piano playing in my living room has to the book I am reading.

Igor Stravinsky

The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men.

George Eliot

The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.

Daniel Radcliffe

Clogged with yesterday's excess, the body drags the mind down with it.

Horace

A writer is a person who has solutions for which there are no riddles.

Gregory Nunn

If you can eat 70 percent raw or introduce raw into your diet, it will help your health.

Carol Alt

When men can no longer be theists, they must, if they are civilized, become humanists.

Walter Lippmann

I mean, I was just one of the ones who got exposed, and because of the position I was in, where I was in my life, it went mainstream. A lot of people got out of it after my situation, not because I went to prison but because it was sad for them to see me go through something that was so pointless, that could have been avoided.

Michael Vick

That is, we believed, the supreme duty of the parent, who only was permitted to claim in some degree the priestly office and function, since it is his creative and protecting power which alone approaches the solemn function of Deity.

Charles Eastman

There is no doubt that many expensive national projects may add to our prestige or serve science. But none of them must take precedence over human needs. As long as Congress does not revise its priorities, our crisis is not just material, it is a crisis of the spirit.

Nelson Rockefeller

My relationship with the journalists who covered the campaign was complicated. I often hid from the critical eye of their cameras and their omnipresent digital recorders, wary of the critique implicit in every captured moment. But I also grew to respect and understand their passion for their work, their love for the journey we were sharing.

Facta! Yes, Facta ficta! - A historian has to do, not with what actually happened, but only with events supposed to have happened: for only the latter have produced an effect. Likewise only with supposed heroes. His theme, so-called world history, is opinions about supposed actions and their supposed motives, which in turn give rise to further opinions and actions, the reality of which is however at once vaporised again and produces an effect only as vapour - a continual generation and pregnancy of phantoms over the impentetrable mist of unfathomable reality. All historians speak of things which have never existed except in imagination.

Friedrich Nietzsche
