Since the departure of good old-fashioned entertainers the re-emergence of somebody who wants to be an entertainer has unfortunately become a synonym for camp. I don't think I'm camper than any other person who felt at home on stage, and felt more at home on stage than he did offstage.

Experience isn't interesting until it begins to repeat itself. In fact, till it does that, it hardly is experience.

Elizabeth Bowen

The idea of celibate vampires is ridiculous. To me, vampires are sex. I don't get a vampire story about abstinence. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.

Alan Ball

We are as much as we see. Faith is sight and knowledge. The hands only serve the eyes.

Henry David Thoreau

I picked up the Joss Stone album, Josh Groban, and the new Norah Jones. I love, love, love Norah.

Deborah Cox

Real worth requires no interpreter: its everyday deeds form its emblem.

Sebastian Roch Nicolas Chamfort

Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river? Certainly not flush with saints, and a good thing, too, for the saints sent buzzing into man's ken now are but poor-mouthed ecclesiastical film stars and clich?-shouting publicity agents. Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance, ignorance bringing them nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to God.

Sean O'Casey

Science is one of a handful of things that defines us as a very special species. It is amazing how far we have been able to get and how accurate our predictions are. I think understanding how the universe was born is very important. It really gives us a perspective on many things.

Yuri Milner

Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.

Theodore Roethke

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

Pablo Picasso

I never gave up on country music because I knew what I was doing was not that bad.

Willie Nelson

There exists, at the bottom of all abasement and misfortune, a last extreme which rebels and joins battle with the forces of law and respectability in a desperate struggle, waged partly by cunning and partly by violence, at once sick and ferocious, in which it attacks the prevailing social order with the pin-pricks of vice and the hammer-blows of crime.

Victor Hugo

And who understands? Not me, because if I did I would forgive it all.

Ernest Hemingway
