That's the way I got along in life. I don't ever remember being particularly jealous of anybody, because I figured if I can't do it myself, I don't deserve to get it.

If the truth be known, we are on the verge of losing an entire generation of our young people, killing and dying in the streets of America

I mean, I talk about being Jewish a lot. It's funny because I do think of myself as Jewish ethnically, but I'm not religious at all. I have no religion.

The society of girls is a very delightful thing, Copperfield. It's not professional, but it's very delightful.

Charles Dickens

Sunshine is a welcome thing. It brings a lot of brightness.

The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a tellar but for want of an understanding ear.

Stephen King

George Eliot

John Dryden

High school is what kind of grows you into the person you are. I have great memories, good and bad, some learning experiences and some that I'll take with me the rest of my life.

Giancarlo Stanton

Under exciting circumstances, wealth cannot be enjoyed without dishonor, or foregone without misery.

George Bernard Shaw

In Vegas, I got into a long argument with the man at the roulette wheel over what I considered to be an odd number.
