All I want from you is to trust me with what little you can, and grow in loving people around you with the same love I share with you. It's not your job to change them, or to convince them. You are free to love without an agenda.

Every now and then, when you're on stage, you hear the best sound a player can hear. It's a sound you can't get in movies or in television. It is the sound of a wonderful, deep silence that means you've hit them where they live.

I have run large organizations, I know what it takes to create a healthy business climate, and I have more experience than Jerry Brown doing that. So it'll be a stark contrast, a career politician vs. someone who has met a payroll, gotten a return on investment, knows how to use technology to do more with less.

Meg Whitman

We do not learn from experience...we learn from reflecting on experience.

John Dewey

Sometimes stories cry out to be told in such loud voices that you write them just to shut them up.

Stephen King

Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared to love in dreams.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

I love these movies where it's just about the film. You don't have my face on the poster. It's all about the movie. I like that.

John Cusack

P. J. O'Rourke

Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little, and that true reality is only in dreams.

Charles Baudelaire

One has to have the courage of one's pessimism.

Ian Mcewan

We are very apt to measure ourselves by our aspiration instead of our performance. But in truth the conduct of our lives is the only proof of the sincerity of our hearts.

Alcohol doesn't console, it doesn't fill up anyone's psychological gaps, all it replaces is the lack of God. It doesn't comfort man. On the contrary, it encourages him in his folly, it transports him to the supreme regions where he is master of his own destiny.

Marguerite Duras

It is time to return to core values, time to get back to basics , to self-discipline and respect for the law, to consideration for the others, to accepting responsibility for yourself and your family - and not shuffling it off on other people and the state.

John Major
