I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.

Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.

Bernard Baruch

One who comes to the Court must come to adore, not to protest. That's the new gloss on the 1st Amendment.

William O. Douglas

We are threatened with suffering from three directions: from our own body, which is doomed to decay and dissolution and which cannot even do without pain and anxiety as warning signals; from the external world, which may rage against us with overwhelming and merciless forces of destruction; and finally from our relations to other men. The suffering which comes from this last source is perhaps more painful than any other.

Sigmund Freud

Oh, how much is today hidden by science! Oh, how much it is expected to hide!

Friedrich Nietzsche

Most importantly, nothing has happened to change my conviction that freedom and the love of liberty remain the essential defining attributes of our national character as a people.

Ibrahim Babangida

In no sense do I advocate evading or defying the law. That would lead to anarchy.

Martin Luther King Jr.

True beauty dwells in deep retreats, Whose veil is unremoved Till heart with heart in concord beats, And the lover is beloved.

William Wordsworth

I recognize the Republican party as the sheet anchor of the colored mans political hopes and the ark of his safety.

Frederick Douglass

One cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war

Albert Einstein

It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

But that's the whole aim of civilization: to make everything a source of enjoyment.

Leo Tolstoy

I suppose some editors are failed writers; but so are most writers.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot
