Tobey's a mellow, cool guy. He's just a good guy. I know that's not the answer you want, and I don't mean that as the political thing to say, but he's a nice guy.

Gracefulness is to the body what understanding is to the mind.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Books are masters who instruct us without rods or ferules, without words or anger, without bread or money. If you approach them, they are not asleep; if you seek them, they do not hide; if you blunder, they do not scold; if you are ignorant, they do not laugh at you.

Richard De Bury

Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.

George Eliot

Love demands infinitely less than friendship.

George Jean Nathan

The view that the truth is one and undivided, and the same for all men everywhere at all times, whether one finds it in the pronouncements of sacred books, traditional wisdom, the authority of churches, democratic majorities, observation and experiment conducted by qualified experts, or the convictions of simple folks uncorrupted by civilisation---this view, in one form or another, is central to western thought, which stems from Plato and his disciples.

Isaiah Berlin

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

Kahlil Gibran

The right man is the one that seizes the moment.

Johann von Goethe

He was conscious of nothing except the blankness of the page in front of him, the itching of the skin above his ankle, the blaring of the music, and a slight booziness caused by the gin.

George Orwell

Last week my tie caught on fire, some guy tried to put it out with an axe.

Rodney Dangerfield

A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

St. Basil

Men should be bewailed at their birth, and not at their death.

Charles de Montesquieu

Look to this day For it is life, the very life of life. For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day Such is the salutation of the dawn.
