That's why when major badasses greet each other in movies, they don't say anything, they just nod. The nod means, 'I am a badass, and I recognize that you, too, are a badass, ' but they don't say anything because they're Wolverine and Magneto and it would mess up their vibe to explain.

Can a society in which thought and technique are scientific persist for a long period, as, for example, ancient Egypt persisted, or does it necessarily contain within itself forces which must bring either decay or explosion?

Bertrand Russell

Young men and young women meet each other with much less difficulty than was formerly the case, and every housemaid expects at least once a week as much excitement as would have lasted a Jane Austen heroine throughout a whole novel.

Bertrand Russell

I get way too much happiness from good food.

Elizabeth Olsen

I didn't go out of my way to get into this movie stuff. I think of myself as a writer.

Sam Shepard

Slander expires at a good woman's door.

Danish proverb

Life could be horrible in the wrong trouser of time.

Terry Pratchett

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I love food, all types of food. I love Korean food, Japanese, Italian, French. In Australia, we don't have a distinctive Australian food, so we have food from everywhere all around the world. We're very multicultural, so we grew up with lots of different types of food.

Hugh Jackman

In most cases a favorite writer is more with us in his book than he ever could have been in the flesh; since, being a writer, he is one who has studied and perfected this particular mode of personal incarnation, very likely to the detriment of any other. I should like as a matter of curiosity to see and hear for a moment the men whose works I admire; but I should hardly expect to find further intercourse particularly profitable.

Charles Horton Cooley

I like dark humor. My favorite movie of all time is 'Harold and Maude.'

Leslie Mann

I don't have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don't think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that's the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.

David R. Gergen

I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time'. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.
