Poe is the only impeccable writer. He was never mistaken.

The paradox of life is that we can see it all, but never understand it completely.

Every beginning is a consequence – every beginning ends some thing.

My mother was a housewife but she was also an artist. My father was an electrical engineer.

We’re not creating a movie; we’re creating an experience.

Any direct experience that I have with indigenous peoples and their plights may feed into the nature of the story I choose to tell. In fact, it almost certainly will.

Logan Cale: If I just had my ass handed to me by a size three, I’d be inclined to mind my own business.

When i was lying in the V.A. hospital with a big hole blown through the middle of my life, i started having these dreams of flying. I was free. But sooner or later, you always have to wake up.

The most personal thing you can do is to make something that is based on your own experience.

If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s success.

Self-worth comes from one thing – thinking that you are worthy.

The essential lesson I’ve learned in life is to just be yourself. Treasure the magnificent being that you are and recognize first and foremost you’re not here as a human being only. You’re a spiritual being having a human experience.

What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.

You need a clear sense of purpose in everything you do.

We must always be vigilant and prepared for the worst.

Watch the growth of middle level management. Don’t automatically fill vacant jobs. Leave some positions unfilled for 6-8 months to see what happens. You will find you won’t need to fill some of them.

Terrorists are determined to kill us, and we have to stop them.

Our task, your task… is to try to connect the dots before something happens. People say, ‘Well, where’s the smoking gun?’ Well, we don’t want to see a smoking gun from a weapon of mass destruction.

There are things that we know, and there are things that we don’t know. Then there are the things that we don’t even know that we don’t know. Those are the things that are the hardest.

I don’t want to tell people what to think; I want them to think.

I don’t see the theater as an establishment. The National Theatre has always seemed to me a people’s theater. It was never meant to reinforce the values of the government of the day, nor does it, nor should it.

I have a very, very good relationship with 10 percent of the audience. The only purpose of art is intimacy. That’s the only point.

I actually think love changes everything. I think it’s the only thing worth having.

The most important things in life are not things. They are experiences, relationships, and love.

’30 Rock’ is one of the best things on TV, I think.

In some ways, it’s harder to be a comic actress than a dramatic one.

I’ve always been able to find humor in the most unexpected places.

It’s really hard to explain what it’s like to be in a movie, but when you’re there, you’re just part of the team.

I’d like to share my experiences and the lessons I’ve learned and hopefully create some amazing, fun courses.

The only thing you can do is take a learning experience from it, positives and negatives, and apply them to the future. What did you do right, what did you do wrong, and I did a lot of things right this week.

It will always be the ball and me.

My dad always taught me to be a good person first, then be a good player.

I’m trying as hard as I can, and sometimes things don’t go your way, and that’s the way things go.

At some stage I’m going to have to say, ‘Right, that’s it. I’m stopping for a bit’.

I finally moved out of my parent’s house. It was only fair to let my sister have her own room.

You can’t be a proper writer without a touch of madness, can you?

I’m just a fucked up girl looking for my own piece of mind.

I love that my friends are sometimes even 20, 30 years older than me – that I can just sit and enjoy their company and their experiences.

There’s a lot of baggage that comes with us, but it’s like Louis Vuitton baggage; you always want it.

My legacy will be the example I set for the next generation of women.

Clothes aren’t going to change the world, but the women who wear them will.

If I’m wearing a top, I don’t wear a bra. If I’m wearing a bra, I just wear a bra.

Eventually, I remember waking up one day and I knew I was over it. One day. I remember I was in New York at the Trump Hotel and I woke up and I just knew I was over it… It was a different day. I felt different. I didn’t feel lonely. I felt like I wanted to get up and be in the world. That was a great, great feeling.

I was hurt the most. Nobody felt what I felt… It happened. It happened to me… It was embarrassing. It was humiliating. It was hurtful. I lost my best friend… Everything I knew, was switched in a night

Don’t lower your standards for anything or anyone.

Eff love. Come out of the situation and look at it third person.

Life must be captured with feeling, not with cold detachment.

An artist must find his own voice, one that is unmistakable and true.

And even this heart of mine has something artificial. The dancers have sewn it into a bag of pink satin, pink satin slightly faded, like their dancing shoes.

So that’s the telephone? They ring, and you run.

Daylight is too easy. What I want is difficult – the atmosphere of lamps and moonlight.

Hitherto the nude has always been represented in poses which presuppose an audience. But my women are simple, honest creatures who are concerned with nothing beyond their physical occupations… it is as if you were looking through a keyhole.

Čovek nikada ne može biti dovoljno radikalan.Odnosno, čovek mora biti radikalan koliko i sama stvarnost.

Germany will militarize herself out of existence, England will expand herself out of existence, and America will spend herself out of existence.

We must not talk about power, we must take it.

A composer must not be afraid to experiment and risk everything.

The greatest musicians are those who have the courage to break from tradition.

My misfortune is doubly painful to me because it will result in my being misunderstood. For me there can be no recreation in the company of others, no intelligent conversation, no exchange of information with peers; only the most pressing needs can make me venture into society. I am obliged to live like an outcast.

All my life I have regarded myself as one of Mozart’s greatest admirers, and I will remain one until my last breath.

I would rather write 10,000 notes than a single letter of the alphabet.

Tailored jackets with jeans is a great look for all ages. Dress up with a heel and pretty shirt, or just wear a smart T-shirt under the jacket.

Don’t let society’s expectations define you. Create your own path and live life on your terms.

Fear nothing but fear itself. Don’t be afraid to take risks and embrace new experiences.

Can you imagine wot it was like. All the girls gettin’ luvly figgers and me stayin’ flat as a pancake? It was no fun, I tell you.

I like everything that’s natural. That’s why I welcome age, because age means experience, wisdom, and wrinkles.

You can be a victim of the times or you can become timeless.

I’ve always loved life, and I’ve never known what’s ahead. I love not knowing what might be round the corner. I love serendipity.

Those who have come into Formula One without experiencing cars devoid of electronic aids will find it tough. To control 800 horse power relying just on arm muscles and foot sensitivity can turn out to be a dangerous exercise.

Mika Hakkinen was the best opponent (I’ve had) in terms of his quality, but the biggest admiration I had for him was we had 100% fight on track but a totally disciplined life off track. We respected each other highly and let each other live quietly.

Jimmy Carter is the embodiment of dignity, grace, and the hope for a better world – Carlos Santana.

The sky is always there for me, while my life has been going through many, many changes. When I look up at the sky, it gives me a nice feeling, like looking at an old friend

Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.

Pain, pleasure and death are no more than a process for existence. The revolutionary struggle in this process is a doorway open to intelligence.

The most important thing for everyone in Gringolandia is to have ambition and become ‘somebody,’ and frankly, I don’t have the least ambition to become anybody.

Cricket is a game of mistakes, the team that makes fewer mistakes wins the game.

Christina Aguilera has her own style, so good on her. I don’t think anyone’s every told her to put on some leather chaps and get her noonie out. She’s an amazing singer but a lot of her music I can’t even hear.

You can’t control other people’s opinions of you, so why try?

Fame is weird. It can be a blessing and a curse.

Over futile odds, and laughed at by the gods And now the final frame. Love is a losing game.

I think the world is waiting for someone with a real voice, not just another pop star.

People love drama, and they love to build you up, just to tear you down.

I’m not a star, I’m just someone who sings and writes songs.

Film is an escape, but it also mirrors life in its true essence.

The magic of cinema is that it transcends boundaries.

Though “Veer-Zaara” is a film about cross-border love, there isn’t a word of politics in it. Forget politics, there isn’t slap, not even a raised voice in “Veer-Zaara”(2004). It’s a very intense, humane and emotional story. “Veer-Zaara” (2004) is a humble tribute to my home in Punjab. It’s my tribute to the one-ness of people on both sides of the border. Every religion preaches peace. Then why the bloodshed for the sake of religion? Why are we destroying each other?.

Cinema is a reflection of society. It shows the best and the worst of us.

I’m not making films just to be bold.

You can’t control the outcome, but you can control your effort.

The best teams are the ones that are always looking for ways to improve.
