Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are books like An Imperial Affliction, which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like betrayal

For every force, there is a counter force. For every negative there is a positive. For every action there is a reaction. For every cause there is an effect.

Grace Speare

My agent said, 'You aren't good enough for movies.' I said, 'You're fired.'

Sally Field

Old age is like flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.

Golda Meir

The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs... one step at a time.

Joe Girard

I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

Bruce Dickinson

I kept it to remind me that although there is evil, there is sometimes beauty and light. You, Jillian. You were always my light.

Karen Marie Moning

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further brotherhoold of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

William J.H. Boetcker

I'm thrilled, I'm grateful, I'm blessed. I played for the world's greatest professional sports team in history. Once a Dallas Cowboy, always a Dallas Cowboy.

Bob Hayes

What is virtue but the Trade Unionism of the married?

George Bernard Shaw

Deceive the rich and powerful if you will, but don't insult them.

Japanese Proverb

Hardly a man in the world has an opinion upon morals, politics or religion which he got otherwise than through his associations and sympathies. Broadly speaking, there are none but corn-pone opinions. And broadly speaking, Corn-Pone stands for Self-Approval. Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people. The result is Conformity.

Mark Twain

Some minds are like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set.
