I woke up one morning to find I was famous. I bought a white Rolls-Royce and drove down Sunset Boulevard, wearing dark specs and a white suit, waving like the Queen Mum.

I preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebody else's. But behind all of them there is only one truth and that is that there's no truth.

Flannery O'Connor

I don't dwell on success. Maybe that's one reason I'm successful.

Calvin Klein

The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.

Albert Camus

Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harms we do, we do to ourselves.

Mitch Albom, The Five People You

If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters.

Alan K. Simpson

I really liked 'Starter For Ten' because I grew up watching 1980s teen films like 'St. Elmo's Fire' and 'The Breakfast Club' and I've always wanted to play the underdog lead hero in a 1980s-inspired film.

James McAvoy

Poverty frees them from ordinary standards of behaviour, just as money frees people from work.

George Orwell

Like many people, I feel like celebrating. Remember this feeling. It is human, and can help us understand when others express bloodlust.

John Green

The mark of our time is its revulsion against imposed patterns.

Marshall McLuhan

People stumble over the truth from time to time,but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.

Winston Churchill

I once felt all that kind of anger, which a man ought to feel, against the mean principles that are held by the Tories: a noted one, who kept a tavern at Amboy, was standing at his door, with as pretty a child in his hand, about eight or nine years old, as I ever saw, and after speaking his mind as freely as he thought was prudent, finished with this unfatherly expression, Well! give me peace in my day. Not a man lives on the continent but fully believes that a separation must some time or other finally take place, and a generous parent should have said, If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace; and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.

Thomas Paine, The American Crisi

In this world one must have a name; it prevents confusion, even when it does not establish identity. Some, though, are known by numbers, which also seem inadequate distinctions.

Ambrose Bierce
