We went online to surrogacy agencies. We interviewed lots of people - and I have to say, with all due respect, some of them were freaks. I was very leery of the process the whole way through.

There are only two styles of portrait painting; the serious and the smirk.

Charles Dickens

If one looks at all closely at the middle of our own century, the events that occupy us, our customs, our achievements and even our topics of conversation, it is difficult not to see that a very remarkable change in several respects has come into our ideas; a change which, by its rapidity, seems to us to foreshadow another still greater. Time alone will tell the aim, the nature and limits of this revolution, whose inconveniences and advantages our posterity will recognize better than we can.

Jean le Rond d'Alembert

And you also have to do movies that are about commerce because that's what is required of the industry today.

Halle Berry

The dead have been awakened -- shall I sleep? The world's at war with tyrants -- shall I crouch? the harvest's ripe -- and shall I pause to reap? I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch; Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear, its echo in my heart.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good.

T. S. Eliot

Those who marry God can become domesticated too -- it's just as hum-drum a marriage as all the others. The word Love means a formal touch of the lips as in the ceremony of the Mass, and Ave Maria like dearest is a phrase to open a letter. This marriage like the world's marriages was held together by habits and tastes shared in common between God and themselves -- it was God's taste to be worshipped and their taste to worship, but only at stated hours like a suburban embrace on a Saturday night.

Graham Greene

Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology.

Serge Haroche

Never speak disrespectfully of Society. Only people who can't get into it do that.

Oscar Wilde

Once you understand this way, you will be able to make your room alive you will be able to design a house together with your family a garden for your children places where you can work beautiful terraces where you can sit and dream.

Christopher Alexander

I don't pretend to understand the Universe - it's a great deal bigger than I am.

Thomas Carlyle

He was always smoothing and polishing himself, and in the end he became blunt before he was sharp.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

I realize I will always be the poster child for police brutality, but I can try to use that as a positive force for healing and restraint.
