I think that people don't know how to do anything anymore. My father was a janitor. He could take a car apart and put it back together. He could build a house in the back yard. Today, if you ask people what they know, they say, 'I know how to hire someone.'

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.

Tennessee (Thomas Lanier) Willia

Barangsiapa muncul di atas masyarakatnya, dia akan selalu menerima tuntutan dari masyarakatnya-masyarakat yang menaikkannya, atau yang membiarkannya naik.... Pohon tinggi dapat banyak angin? Kalau Tuan segan menerima banyak angin, jangan jadi pohon tinggi

Pramoedya Ananta Toer

The opposite of anger is not calmness, its empathy.

I had a non-existent knowledge of Queen Victoria's early years. Like everyone else, I thought of her as an old lady dressed in black. My mom had told me about her, though, that she had a very loving relationship with Albert, that they had lots of kids, and that he died young.

Emily Blunt

I am simply looking for a companion with whom to spend my days, a companion who will cherish as much as I the stupidity of living in the moment, and spend every dull, amazing second with me.

Heidi Julavits

Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop. Nothing in the world was so bad as physical pain. In the face of pain there are no heroes.

George Orwell

Producing is just a big learning experience.

Ashley Tisdale

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

Kahlil Gibran

We do not choose the day of our birth nor may we choose the day of our death, yet choice is the sovereign faculty of the mind.

Thornton Wilder

Some people confuse acceptance with apathy, but there's all the difference in the world. Apathy fails to distinguish between what can and what cannot be helped; acceptance makes that distinction. Apathy paralyzes the will-to-action; acceptance frees it by relieving it of impossible burdens.

Arthur Gordon

Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.

Larry Hagman

Consciousness is much more than the thorn, it is the dagger in the flesh.
