There's just so many great stories in the past that you can know a little bit about, but you can't know it all, and that's where imagination can work.

We must return optimism to our parenting. To focus on the joys, not the hassles the love, not the disappointments the common sense, not the complexities.

Fred G. Gosman

You have to have fear to take risks - and I want to at least try.

Seann William Scott

Yo no nací dichoso. De niño, mi himno favorito era: «Cansado del mundo y con el peso de mis pecados». A los cinco años yo pensaba que si había de vivir setenta no había pasado aún más que la catorceava parte de mi vida vital, y me parecía casi insoportable la enorme cantidad de aburrimiento que me aguardaba. En la adolescencia la vida me era odiosa, y estaba continuamente al borde del suicidio, del cual me libré gracias al deseo de saber más matemáticas. Hoy, por el contrario, gusto de la vida, y casi estoy por decir que cada año que pasa la encuentro más gustosa. Esto es debido, en parte, a haber descubierto cuáles eran las cosas que deseaba más y haber adquirido gradualmente muchas de ellas. En parte es debido también a haberme desprendido, felizmente, de ciertos deseos (la adquisición del conocimiento indudable acerca de algo) como esencialmente inasequibles. Pero en la mayor parte se debe a la preocupación, cada día menor, de mí mismo.

Bertrand Russell

In the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better.

Ellen DeGeneres

When I disagree with a rational man, I let reality be our final arbiter; if I am right, he will learn; if I am wrong, I will; one of us will win, but both will profit.

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, 1957

The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.

Gloria Vanderbilt

I'm looking forward to influencing others in a positive way. My message is you can do anything if you just put your mind to it.

Justin Bieber

It's a source of great sadness to me that my father died without having seen me do anything worthwhile. He was constantly having to make excuses for me.

Daniel Day-Lewis

That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man, if with his tongue he cannot win a woman.

William Shakespeare

I love traffic. It's fantastic. New York traffic is so relaxing.

Chris Kattan

Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.

Thomas Carlyle

Theatergoing is a communal act, movie going a solitary one.
