Right, except I'm not going to lie to my mom, because what kind of bastard lies to his own mother?

If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone; one should keep his friendships in constant repair.

Samuel Johnson

For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of a Venus, the brains of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a MaCaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.

Ethel Barrymore

Everything transitory is but an image.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Like most science-fiction writers, Trout knew almost nothing about science.

Kurt Vonnegut

I guess we're all, or most of us, the wards of that nineteenth-century science which denied existence to anything it could not measure or explain. The things we couldn't explain went right on but surely not with our blessing. We did not see what we couldn't explain, and meanwhile a great part of the world was abandoned to children, insane people, fools, and mystics, who were more interested in what is than in why it is. So many old and lovely things are stored in the world's attic, because we don't want them around us and we don't dare throw them out.

John Steinbeck

To be President of the United States, sir, is to act as advocate for a blind, venomous, and ungrateful client; still, one must make the best of the case, for the purposes of Providence.

John Updike

The great dream merchant Disney was a success because make-believe was what everyone seemed to need in a spiritually empty land.

Arthur Erickson

In George Bush you get experience, and with me you get - The Future!

Dan Quayle

People are such idiots. As if there's something wrong with being in love.

John Green

If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.

Virginia Woolf

The thing that separates a so-so director and a great director is a love and caring for film.

Shirley Knight

He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.

Lao Tzu
