The world gets grimy and the love object is in stark relief from its surroundings. This is love, a pretty thing on an ugly street and why wouldn't you pick it up if it appeared in a taxi cab.

There is no such thing as the Queen's English. The property has gone into the hands of a joint stock company and we own the bulk of the shares!

Mark Twain

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.

Aristotle

Should envious tongues some malice frame; to soil and tarnish your good name; Live it Down!

Henry Rink

Since I speak and write about this a good deal, I am often asked at public meetings, in what sometimes seems to me a rather prurient way, whether I myself or my family have 'ever been threatened' by jihadists. My answer is that yes, I have, and so has everyone else in the audience, if they have paid enough attention to the relevant bin-Ladenist broadcasts to notice the fact.

Christopher Hitchens

I have this embedded faith in the process through which films of a certain type get discovered on longer timelines.

Edward Norton

It was not love at all, really, but rather a yearning for the honor and respect of the other men that held them. Pride, then... Indeed, all their connection with each other at this moment was tied up with the respect they felt they were earning by their actions.

Orson Scott Card

Love is where you find it. I think it is foolish to go looking for it, and I think it can often be poisonous.

Kurt Vonnegut

If I knew what to doI'd do more than write a song for you

Criss Jami

The nature of motion capture is only going to work for certain films. It's not going to put any other type of movies out of business.

Tom Hanks

Failure, then, failure! so the world stamps us at every turn. We strew it with our blunders, our misdeeds, our lost opportunities, with all the memorials of our inadequacy to our vocation. And with what a damning emphasis does it then blot us out! No easy fine, no mere apology or formal expiation, will satisfy the world's demands, but every pound of flesh exacted is soaked with all its blood. The subtlest forms of suffering known to man are connected with the poisonous humiliations incidental to these results.

William James

We've got fuel prices coming down and good travel numbers coming out, so it's not surprising airline stocks are going up.

Andrew Sullivan

It is curious - curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare

Mark Twain
