I write in the morning from about eight till noon, and sometimes again a bit in the afternoon. In the morning I start off by going over what I had done the previous day, which my wife has happily typed up for me.

We cannot learn from one another until we stop shouting at one another -- until we speak quietly enough so that our words can be heard as well as our voices.

Richard Milhous Nixon, First Ina

The success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly.

Henry David Thoreau

If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.

Nelson Mandela

When you get to your mid-20s, you start to feel responsibilities for the things that you do and the people around you. It's a cool age.

Eliza Dushku

Because paper has more patience than people.

Anne Frank

Penny knew also she loved the country for its beauty. Cities could be magnificent, astounding, fantastic, but they were not consistently beautiful and simple. Penny liked uncomplicated beauty.

Dorothy Deming

I want to be a positive role-model for my daughter. The last thing I want to put out there is that it's acceptable to be too thin or have an eating disorder because you're in Hollywood.

Tori Spelling

I don't really deeply feel that anyone needs an airtight reason for quoting from the works of writers he loves, but it's always nice, I'll grant you, if he has one.

J. D. Salinger

Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.

Henry Miller

I'm nearing the end of the road and still learning.

Mike Wallace

One way to define wisdom is the ability to see, into the future, the consequences of your choices in the present. That ability can give you a completely different perspective on what the future might look like.
