War is regarded as nothing but the continuation of state policy with other means.

You were up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and then you'd ride in a caravan, because we didn't have big movie trucks or trailers that is the hardware of a movie camp.

Marguerite Moreau

More than anything else, I want the folks back at home to think right of me.

Elvis Presley

Trifles light as air are to the jealous confirmations strong as proofs of holy writ.

William Shakespeare

Success took me to her bosom like a maternal boa constrictor.

Noel Coward

It is better to be silent, and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

Silvan Engel

Contrary to popular belief and hope, people don't usually come running when they hear a scream. That's not how humans work. Humans look at other humans and say, 'Did you hear a scream?' because the first scream might have been you screaming inside your head, or a horse backfiring.

Terry Pratchett

Have the courage to act instead of react.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

It was not my intention to make such a production of the emptiness between us, playing tuba on the tombstone of a soprano to try to keep some dead singer's perspective alive. It's just that I could have swore you had sung me a love song back there; and that you meant it.

Buddy Wakefield

Making a long stay short is a great aid to popularity.

Kin Hubbard

I was hungry when I left Pyongyang. I wasn't hungry just for a bookshop that sold books that weren't about Fat Man and Little Boy. I wasn't ravenous just for a newspaper that had no pictures of F.M. and L.B. I wasn't starving just for a TV program or a piece of music or theater or cinema that wasn't cultist and hero-worshiping. I was . I got off the North Korean plane in Shenyang, one of the provincial capitals of Manchuria, and the airport buffet looked like a cornucopia. I fell on the food, only to find that I couldn't do it justice, because my stomach had shrunk. And as a foreign tourist in North Korea, under the care of vigilant minders who wanted me to see only the best, I had enjoyed the finest fare available.

Christopher Hitchens

The friendship we share grows amidst the craggy rock pond reeds of water spray fireflies scented with bonfires.

Bradley Chicho

Wishful thinking is not idealism. It is self-indulgence at best and self-exaltation at worst. In either case, it is usually at the expense of others. In other words, it is the opposite of idealism.

Thomas Sowell
