A right is not what someone gives you, it's what no one can take away from you.

Movies are movies: they take you back in time, and how it still is for some.

Tina Turner

Literature... is condemned (or privileged) to be forever the most rigorous and, consequently, the most reliable of terms in which man names and transforms himself.

Paul De Man

Many folks think they aren't good at earning money, when what they don't know is how to use it.

Frank A. Clark

Happiness lies in being privileged to work hard for long hours in doing whatever you think is worth doing. One man may find happiness in supporting a wife and children. Another may find it in robbing banks. Still another may labor mightily for years in pursuing pure research with no discernible result. Note the individual and subjective nature of each case. No two are alike and there is no reason to expect them to be. Each man or woman must find for himself or herself that occupation in which hard work and long hours make him or her happy. Contrariwise, if you are looking for shorter hours and longer vacations and early retirement, you are in the wrong job. Perhaps you need to take up bank robbing. Or geeking in a sideshow. Or even politics.

Robert A. Heinlein

I think basically becoming famous has taken the place of going to Heaven in modern society, hasn't it? That's the place where your dreams will come true. It's an act of faith now they think that's going to sort things out.

Jarvis Cocker

What is a Communist? One who has yearnings for equal division of unequal earnings.

Ebenezer Elliot

My parents were both actors my dad sort of quite early on. My mother acted for a while, and now she's a painter.

Sam Rockwell

I like my money right where I can see it... hanging in my closet.

Sarah Jessica Parker

The overall strength of Chinese culture and its international influence is not commensurate with China's international status. The international culture of the West is strong while we are weak.

Hu Jintao

The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose. Life is a learning process and you have to try to learn what's best for you. Let me tell you, life is not fun when you're banging your head against a brick wall all the time.

John McEnroe

I never got tired of Tom and Jerry, but I did have a dream of doing more with my life than making cartoons.

Joseph Barbera

Positiveness is a good quality for preachers and speakers because, whoever shares his thoughts with the public will convince them as he himself appears convinced.

Jonathan Swift
