Every state of society is as luxurious as it can be. Men always take the best they can get.

Samuel Johnson

How then did it work out, all this? How did one judge people, think of them? How did one add up this and that and conclude that it is liking one felt, or disliking?

Virginia Woolf

Fools can find fault, but they can't act anymore wisely.

Langbien

Walter Savage Landor

The problems of society will also be the problems of the predominant language of that society.

Eric Burdon

He who desires but does not act, breeds pestilence.

William Blake

The immense beauty, the vast almost unbearable beauty of justice.

Martin Firrell

Nowadays you really have to pump out that blockbuster in order to have the luxury of getting a body of work, and that's sad because the work suffers. Today everything is based on money. The older actors, they inspire me.

Dylan McDermott
