I would take William H. Macy as a teacher any day of the week. He's incredible. He's got a lot of hard-earned experience.

Remember always that the composer's pen is still mightier than the bow of the violinist in you lie all the possibilities of the creation of beauty.

John Philip Sousa

Self-respect is the cornerstone of all virtue.

Sir John Herschel

Employees make the best dates. You don't have to pick them up and they're always tax-deductible.

Andy Warhol

As a speaker, business leader or marketer of any type, the onus is now on each of us to become equally capable of communicating very personally with a seemingly endless number of people connected by social technologies.

Simon Mainwaring

I believe in broken, fractured, complicated narratives, but I believe in narratives as a vehicle for truth, not simply as a form of entertainment, though I love entertainment, but also a way of conveying what needs to be conveyed about the works that I care about.

Stephen Greenblatt

To say the truth, reason and love keep little company together now-a-days.

William Shakespeare

It takes a son of a bitch to change a habit.

Stephen King

Silent acquiescence in the face of tyranny is no better than outright agreement.

C.J. Redwine

Responsibility is the price of greatness.

Sir Winston Churchill

It's not hard to get your way when it's your way or the highway. People either follow suit or they're not around. I don't really like the sound of that, 'cause that sounds like a temper tantrum. I'm just very black and white when it comes to my business. There's really no gray area.

It is not enough for theory to describe and analyze, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.

Jean Baudrillard

Scientists talk about dark matter, the invisible, mysterious substance that occupies the space between stars. Dark matter makes up 99.99 percent of the universe, and they don't know what it is. Well I do. It's apathy. That's the truth of it; pile together everything we know and care about in the universe and it will still be nothing more than a tiny speck in the middle of a vast black ocean of Who Gives a Fuck.
