Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal.

Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation, and conversation must have a common basis, and between two people of widely different culture the only common basis possible is the lowest level.

Oscar Wilde

Acting is still, of course, what I love to do most. The beauty of it is that by changing characters, it never gets boring.

Christopher Lambert

In these sentiments, sir, I agree to this Constitution, with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a General Government necessary for us, and there is no form of government, but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered; and believe further, that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government, being incapable of any other.

Benjamin Franklin

America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that's 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We're in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.

Thomas Mcguane

Who loves, raves.

Lord Byron

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Alfred A. Montapert

The film is not a success until it makes money. It's only good when there's a dollar figure attached to the box office.

John Cusack

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

Albert Einstein

There is not in the world so toilsome a trade as the pursuit of fame; life concludes before you have so much as sketched your work.

Jean de la Bruyere

A teacher who can arouse a feeling for one single good action, for one single good poem, accomplishes more than he who fills our memory with rows on rows of natural objects, classified with name and form.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You realize that however much you don't think about death - or think that's for other people - you're just an organism living from day to day. I'm just grateful I'm here.

Robin Gibb

The nostalgia of a moment's love can be an illusionary precipice from which we fall from truth; in heartbreak, what we escape to in the past is what tortures us in the present.

Mike Norton
