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.'

Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.

B. C. Forbes

I believed in myself. I never imagined myself as just an ordinary player.

Imran Khan

What I wanted to get at is the value difference between pornographic playing-cards when you're a kid, and pornographic playing-cards when you're older. It's that when you're a kid you use the cards as a substitute for a real experience, and when you're older you use real experience as a substitute for the fantasy.

Edward Albee

Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say.

Kristin Hersh

Chastity is a monkish and evangelical superstition, a greater foe to natural temperance even than unintellectual sensuality.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Heroes may not be braver than anyone else. They're just braver 5 minutes longer.

Ronald Reagan

But it's a journey and the sad thing is you only learn from experience, so as much as someone can tell you things, you have to go out there and make your own mistakes in order to learn.

Emma Watson

To know that we know what we know, and that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.

Henry David Thoreau

I am a sensitive writer, actor and director. Talking business disgusts me. If you want to talk business, call my disgusting personal manager.

Sylvester Stallone

It's more like can I build a group of characters and can I tell some universal truths that feel real and aren't formulaic in the spirit of filmmakers gone by who've told American stories that were personal and universal as well.

Cameron Crowe

A louse in the locks of literature.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Sinatra was the biggest influence on my life, my singing career. And rightly so. I mean he was the best singer ever.

James Darren
