I am not willing to risk the lives of German soldiers for countries whose names we cannot spell properly.

I've always been interested in science fiction.

Martin Landau

The best and fastest way to learn a sport is to watch and imitate a champion.

Jean Claude Killy

It is because the public are a mass -- inert, obtuse, and passive -- that they need to be shaken up from time to time so that we can tell from their bear-like grunts where they are -- and also where they stand. They are pretty harmless, in spite of their numbers, because they are fighting against intelligence.

Alfred Jarry

Nothing is more hopeless than a scheme of merriment.

Samuel Johnson

Strive not for singularity in dress; Fools have the more and men of sense the less. To look original is not worth while, But be in mind a little out of style.

Ambrose Bierce

We all of us waited for him to die. The family sent him a check every month, and hoped he'd get on with it quietly, without too much vulgar fuss.

John Osborne

It takes a long time to become young.

Pablo Picasso

I think that's what's great about being an actress is you get to learn so many different things like that, like learning a little bit of Tibetan here, learning a Southern accent there.

Jaime King

We have unprecedented conditions to deal with and novel adjustments to make -- there can be no doubt of that. We also have a great stock of scientific knowledge unknown to our grandfathers with which to operate. So novel are the conditions, so copious the knowledge, that we must undertake the arduous task of reconsidering a great part of the opinions about man and his relations to his fellow men which have been handed down to us by previous generations who lived in far other conditions and possessed far less information about the world and themselves. We have, however, first to create an unprecedented attitude of mind to cope with unprecedented conditions, and to utilize unprecedented knowledge.

James H. Robinson

I haven't lost faith in human nature and I haven't decided to be less compassionate to strangers.

Armistead Maupin

How can you have charisma? Be more concerned about making others feel good about themselves than you are making them feel good about you.

Dan Reiland

A child does not notice the greatness and the beauty of nature and the splendor of God in his works.

Rudolf Otto
