Tear thyself from delay.

I have always considered it as treason against the great republic of human nature, to make any man's virtues the means of deceiving him.

Samuel Johnson

It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.

E.M. Forster

There are three subjects on which the knowledge of the medical profession in general is woefully weak; they are manners, morals, and medicine.

Gerald F. Lieberman

Girls are taught to sing high and pretty, like Antony, not low and from the guts like Nina Simone. But we're slowly trying to change that. There are so many things we're not told growing up, and it's our true feminist responsibility to take the truth to the people who need to hear it.

Beth Ditto

Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.

Mark Twain

I think I have a dark view of the world. I have to make everything funny, otherwise it all seems so sad.

Moon Unit Zappa

They do not love that do not show their love. The course of true love never did run smooth. Love is a familiar. Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but Love.

William Shakespeare

Hemingway seems to be in a funny position. People nowadays can't identify with him closely as a member of their own generation, and he isn't yet historical.

Leslie Fiedler

The brain is the only part of the human machine that doesn't wear out. Probably it's because the brain is the only part that is not overworked.

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.

Aristotle

My films are always concerned with family, friendship, honor, and patriotism.

John Woo
