My words are the kisses but many of the times they don't taste so good as the touch of your lips does to mine.

People smile at me as if they know me. I just smile back. They probably might know me.

Jim Broadbent

What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels.

Saint Augustine

You can never learn less, you can only learn more.

Richard Buckminster Fuller

I didn't care about truth; I cared about beauty. It took me many years--it took the experience of lived time--to realize that they really are the same thing.

Elif Batuman

Drag your thoughts awayfrom your troubles...by the ears, by the heels,or any other way you can manage it.

Mark Twain

The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street.

Robert Doisneau

Art is a form of catharsis.

Dorothy Parker

I'd come out of the army after five years as a medic. I was a medical administrator and we ran hospitals, and I was a Captain in the army at the end, in 1945.

Eli Wallach

The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.

Viola Spolin

It is my PRIDE, my damned, native, unconquerable Pride, that plunges me into Distraction. You must know that 19 - 20th of my Composition is Pride. I must either live a Slave, a Servant; to have no Will of my own, no Sentiments of my own which I may freely declare as such; --or DIE --perplexing alternative!

Thomas Chatterton

Infatuated, half through conceit, half through love of my art, I achieve the impossible working as no one else ever works.

Alexander Dumas

Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon.

Terry Pratchett
