Well, I think the main message is there is more to your story. There is more than what happens between the crib and the grave, and that is what I am really trying to speak to, this idea that all of life is this life and that there is nothing more than what we see and experience right here on this earth.

The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr., Speech

I will remember always that marriage, like life, is a journey - not a destination - and that its treasures are found not just at the end but all along the way.

Anon.

It is in these acts called trivialities that the seeds of joy are forever wasted, until men and women look round with haggard faces at the devastation their own waste has made, and say, the earth bears no harvest of sweetness -- calling their denial knowledge.

George Eliot

My advice to any diplomat who wants to have a good press is to have two or three kids and a dog.

Carl Rowan, "New Yorker"

The first presentation of my show was given in May, 1883, at Omaha, which I had then chosen as my home. From there we made our first summer tour, visiting practically every important city in the country.

Buffalo Bill

What we have inherited from our fathers and mothers is not all that 'walks in us.' There are all sorts of dead ideas and lifeless old beliefs. They have no tangibility, but they haunt us all the same and we can not get rid of them. Whenever I take up a newspaper I seem to see Ghosts gliding between the lines. Ghosts must be all over the country, as thick as the sands of the sea.

Henrik Ibsen, Ghosts

There are those who travel and those who are going somewhere. They are different and yet they are the same. The success has this over his rivals: He knows where he is going.

Mark Caine

To refuse awards is another way of accepting them with more noise than is normal.

Peter Ustinov

Watching Bernadette Peters perform is like an acting class. She's amazing.

Jenna Ushkowitz

The schoolmaster is abroad! And I trust to him armed with his primer against the soldier in full military array.

Jeremy Bentham

Patriotism has served, at different times, as widely different ends as a razor, which ought to be used in keeping your face clean and yet may be used to cut your own throat or that of an innocent person.

Charles Edward Montague

Her body was a prison, her mind was a prison. Her memories were a prison. The people she loved. She couldn't get away from the hurt of them. She could leave Eric, walk out of her apartment, walk forever if she liked, but she couldn't escape what really hurt. Tonight even the sky felt like a prison.
