The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized.

Without consciousness and intelligence, the universe would lack meaning.

Clifford D. Simak

When I was a kid, I loved 'The Curse of Frankenstein,' 'The Creeping Unknown,' 'X: The Unknown.' I love 'Forbidden Planet,' 'The Thing from Another World.' They were science fiction/horror movies, generally.

John Carpenter

Einmal ist keinmal, says Tomas to himself. What happens but once, says the German adage, might as well not have happened at all. If we have only one life to live, we might as well not have lived at all.

Milan Kundera

What's funny is that the idea of popularity - even the use of the word 'popular' - is something that had been mostly absent from my life since junior high. In fact, the hallmark of life after junior high seemed to be the shedding of popularity as a central concern.

Susan Orlean

Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Whether it was work, marriage, or family, I've always been a late bloomer.

Sigourney Weaver

A woman seldom asks advice before she has bought her wedding clothes.

Joseph Addison

The structure will automatically provide the pattern for the action which follows.

Donald Curtis

Does this boat go to Europe, France?

Anita Loos

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.

Ray Bradbury

In this world one must have a name; it prevents confusion, even when it does not establish identity. Some, though, are known by numbers, which also seem inadequate distinctions.

Ambrose Bierce

To look is one thing, to see what you look at is another, to understand what you see is a third, to learn from what you understand is still something else, but to act on what you learn is all that really matters! How do I act?
