If you want to be happy for life, love what you do.

Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.

George Orwell

Mr Pinch accordingly, after turning over the leaves of his book with as much care as if they were living and highly cherished creatures, made his own selection, and began to read.

Charles Dickens

Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

Justin Hayward

Time turns the old days to derision, our loves into corpses or wives; and marriage and death and division make barren our lives.

Algernon Charles Swinburne

No other investment yields as great a return as the investment in education. An educated workforce is the foundation of every community and the future of every economy.

Brad Henry

Someone once said that history has more imagination than all the scenario writers in the Pentagon, and we have a lot of scenario writers here. No one ever wrote a scenario for commercial airliners crashing into the World Trade Center.

Paul Wolfowitz

My attitude to writing is like when you do wallpapering, you remember where all the little bits are that don't meet. And then your friends say: It's terrific!

Harrison Birtwistle

Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.

Elbert Hubbard

Keeping up with the Joneses was a full-time job with my mother and father. It was not until many years later when I lived alone that I realized how much cheaper it was to drag the Joneses down to my level.

Quentin Crisp

Nobody in TV makes as much money as Robert Redford, who likes to make movies for several million dollars only on the condition that they contain some sort of social message. I cannot take very seriously a social message delivered by an actor who is paid nine million dollars to deliver it, and who charges you five dollars to see it.

David Brinkley

Just learning to think in another language allows you to see your own culture in a better viewpoint.

Gates McFadden

Every time I do a movie like 'Finding Neverland' or 'Chocolat' or 'Shakespeare' in Love,' we deal with the creative process, but there's humor and fun along the way. I always love that kind of movie.

Harvey Weinstein
