In taking revenge a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior.

My duty is to try to reach beauty. Cinema is emotion. When you laugh you cry.

Roberto Benigni

It's been amazing to watch, because for 'Thor', which was always a mid-selling book, to be in the top ten for every single issue since the reboot is just a great compliment.

J. Michael Straczynski

Today we have done what we had to do. If necessary, we shall do it again.

Ronald Reagan

I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning.

Plato

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.

Blaise Pascal

At the root of the shy temperament is a deep fear of social judgment, one so severe it can sometimes be crippling. Introverted people don't worry unduly about whether they'll be found wanting, they just find too much socializing exhausting and would prefer either to be alone or in the company of a select few people.

Jeffrey Kluger

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Bono

Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.

Kaleel Jamison

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Paulo Coelho

I was hungry when I left Pyongyang. I wasn't hungry just for a bookshop that sold books that weren't about Fat Man and Little Boy. I wasn't ravenous just for a newspaper that had no pictures of F.M. and L.B. I wasn't starving just for a TV program or a piece of music or theater or cinema that wasn't cultist and hero-worshiping. I was . I got off the North Korean plane in Shenyang, one of the provincial capitals of Manchuria, and the airport buffet looked like a cornucopia. I fell on the food, only to find that I couldn't do it justice, because my stomach had shrunk. And as a foreign tourist in North Korea, under the care of vigilant minders who wanted me to see only the best, I had enjoyed the finest fare available.

Christopher Hitchens

Whatever begins to exist has a cause.

Glenn Meade

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

William Shakespeare
