You have many years ahead of you to create the dreams that we can't even imagine dreaming. You have done more for the collective unconscious of this planet than you will ever know.

Steven Spielberg

The conscious purpose of science is control of Nature; its unconscious effect is disruption and chaos.

William Irwin Thompson

Of all the marvelous works of God, perhaps the one angels view with the most supreme astonishment, is a proud man.

Charles Caleb Colton

Albert Camus

I do 280 episodes of TV a year, write 15 recipes for the magazine, and publish an annual book. With all of that, we try to get one weekend a month with Isaboo at our home in the Adirondacks to relax and recharge.

Rachael Ray

I am a poor student sitting at the feet of giants, yearning for their wisdom and begging for lessons that might one day make me a complete artist, so that if all goes well, I may one day sit beside them.

Rod Taylor

Mitch Albom

Deep in their roots all flowers keep the light.

Theodore Roethke

Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.

Simone de Beauvoir

I would like to find a stew that will give me heartburn immediately, instead of at three o clock in the morning.

John Barrymore
