Science knows only one commandment -- contribute to science.

It's all very boring to say that we get along great and all that and sometimes we mock up come aggravation to make it interesting but the truth of it is that we get along so well we've never had an argument.

Dave Edmunds

It is characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.

Henry David Thoreau

Fighting a war on terrorism is like fighting against crime. We can never hope to eradicate crime, so we shouldn't bother fighting it.

Craig Bruce

No film has captivated my imagination more than 'King Kong.' I'm making movies today because I saw this film when I was 9 years old.

Peter Jackson

Parenting, as an unpaid occupation outside the world of public power, entails lower status, less power, and less control of resources than paid work.

Nancy Chodorow

Wisdom comes only when you stop looking for it and start living the life the Creator intended for you.

American Indian Proverb, Hopi

In asking forgiveness of women for our mythologizing of their bodies, for being unreal about them, we can only appeal to their own sexuality, which is different but not basically different, perhaps, from our own.

John Updike

So this had been all I wanted, a boy who understood how I felt. Now, though, I sometimes wished for more.

Sarah Dessen

I prefer the country life. I live in Kingston, but there is lots of trees.

Ziggy Marley

Greta Gerwig

Robert Duvall

It is no great art to say something briefly when, like Tacitus, one has something to say; when one has nothing to say, however, and none the less writes a whole book and makes truth into a liar -- that I call an achievement.
