It's very strange that most people don't care if their knowledge of their family history only goes back three generations.

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.

Ernest Hemingway

Temptations come, as a general rule, when they are sought.

Margaret Oliphant

Women, for centuries not having access to pornography and now unable to bear looking at the muck on the supermarket shelves, are astonished. Women do not believe that men believe what pornography says about women. But they do. From the worst to the best of them, they do.

Jane D. Hull

Men often act knowingly against their interest.

David Hume

Perhaps violence, like pornography, is some kind of an evolutionary standby system, a last-resort device for throwing a wild joker into the game?

J. G. Ballard

C.S. Lewis

Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them.

Bill Maher

I'm really proud of 'Moneyball.' To me, it's about feeling pride in a movie I made. I think when I'm an old man I'll be able to show it to my grandkids with pride. That's all I can really go for: making movies to please me.

Jonah Hill

Then indecision brings its own delays,And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days.Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute;What you can do, or dream you can, begin it;Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost.

Milan Kundera
