The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well.

'Yes' is a far more potent word than 'no' in American politics. By adopting the positions which animate the political agenda for the other side, one can disarm them and leave them sputtering with nothing to say.

Dick Morris

While your friend holds you affectionately by both your hands, you are safe, for you can watch both his.

Ambrose Bierce

The only way to overcome is to hang in.

Dan O'Brien

When thoughts arise, then do all things arise. When thoughts vanish, then do all things vanish.

Huang Po

Lila can't be a model until she's at least 21. She is already a mini-me - it is scary. She already has her own beauty kit.

Kate Moss

Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.

Ayn Rand

My goal is to make as many films as possible about different aspects of American life.

Frederick Wiseman

What do we mean by setting a man free? You cannot free a man who dwells in a desert and is an unfeeling brute. There is no liberty except the liberty of some one making his way towards something. Such a man can be set free if you will teach him the meaning of thirst, and how to trace a path to a well. Only then will he embark upon a course of action that will not be without significance. You could not liberate a stone if there were no law of gravity -- for where will the stone go, once it is quarried?

Antoine De SaintExupery

If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.

C.S. Lewis

Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.

Janet Frame

Never play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom s. Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own.

Nelson Algren

The truth of the matter is that there's nothing you can't accomplish if: (1) You clearly decide what it is that you're absolutely committed to achieving, (2) You're willing to take massive action, (3) You notice what's working or not, and (4) You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way.

Anthony Robbins
