I wouldn't go up on a stage now if you paid a thousand dollars for one minute of acting. It's a nasty experience. You're up there all by yourself. You're so damn exposed.

No man succeeds without faith. Whether you call it religious faith or label it something else. I don't feel anything worthwhile is accomplished without it. When you believe there is a Supreme Being guiding the destiny of this universe and that within each of us there is a little part of that Being, then you will have faith in yourself, in your country, in that Supreme Being, and in humanity itself.

Walter Knott

I think in a way, you're doomed, once you can envision something. You're sort of doomed to make it happen. I've found that the moment I can envision leaving a relationship, that's usually the moment that the relationship starts to fall apart.

Chuck Palahniuk

Reason commands us far more imperiously than a master. When we disobey the latter we are punished, when we disobey the former we are fools.

Blaise Pascal

You will never be mature enough to face your troubles, If you think you are too young to fight for yourself and your life.

Shubhanshu Tiwari

In the age of television, image becomes more important than substance.

S. I. Hayakawa

The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.

Lionel Messi

A just cause is not ruined by a few mistakes.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

I believe in the compelling power of love. I do not understand it. I believe it to be the most fragrant blossom of all this thorny existence.

Theodore Dreiser

Men must turn square corners when they deal with the Government.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

For in the absence of debate unrestricted utterance leads to the degradation of opinion. By a kind of Greshams law the more rational is overcome by the less rational, and the opinions that will prevail will be those which are held most ardently by those with the most passionate will. For that reason the freedom to speak can never be maintained merely by objecting to interference with the liberty of the press, of printing, of broadcasting, of the screen. It can be maintained only by promoting debate.

Walter Lippmann

The details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line.

Arthur Erickson

My mother wanted me to be a teacher. She had this vision of me walking across the quadrangle in an Oxford college wearing my academic gown.
