He who is only a traveler learns things at second-hand and by the halves, and is poor authority. We are most interested when science reports what those men already know practically or instinctively, for that alone is a true humanity, or account of human experience.

There is only one thing I wast to say about Ohio that has a political tinge, and that is that I think a mistake has been made of recent years in Ohio in failing to continue as our representatives the same people term after term.

William Shakespeare

The freedom of each individual can only be the freedom of all.

Nicole Sullivan

Why has mankind had such a craving to be imposed upon? Why this lust after imposing creeds, imposing deeds, imposing buildings, imposing language, imposing works of art? The thing becomes an imposition and a weariness at last. Give us things that are alive and flexible, which won't last too long and become an obstruction and a weariness. Even Michelangelo becomes at last a lump and a burden and a bore. It is so hard to see past him.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.

Bruce Lee

I would rather be a devil in alliance with truth, than an angel in alliance with falsehood.

Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach

The best part of making the movies... learning from the pros themselves.
