Playing a character who's dealing not only with a superpower but having a normal relationship is easy to associate with, because I feel that everyone has been through it.

Shawn Ashmore

The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that is the way to bet.

Damon Runyon

Superstition is poetry of life, so that it does not injure the poet to be superstitious

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

There are few things more disturbing than to find, in somebody we detest, a moral quality which seems to us demonstrably superior to anything we ourselves possess. It augurs not merely an unfairness on the part of creation, but a lack of artistic judgment. Sainthood is acceptable only in saints.

Pamela Hansford Johnson

Nicole Yatsonsky

How unhappy is he who cannot forgive himself.

Publilius Syrus

I must confess, I was born at a very early age.

Groucho Marx

Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.

James Baldwin

I learned everything about love, watching 'Splash.' That's why I'm still single, so thanks Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah for that.

Charlize Theron

Eroticism is like a dance: one always leads the other.

Milan Kundera

I, for one, will not have insulted by any comparison to the forces of Zarqawi, the Fedayeen Saddam, and the criminal underworld now arrayed against us. These depraved elements are the Iraqi Khmer Rouge.

Christopher Hitchens
