Legend remains victorious in spite of history.

He who is incapable of feeling strong passions, of being shaken by anger, of living in every sense of the word, will never be a good actor.

The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity.

Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.

As the fly bangs against the window attempting freedom while the door stands open, so we bang against death ignoring heaven.

Happiness in the present is only shattered by comparison with the past.

To buy happiness is to sell soul.

The more we are filled with thoughts of lust the less we find true romantic love.

While seeking revenge, dig two graves - one for yourself.

Desperation is like stealing from the Mafia: you stand a good chance of attracting the wrong attention.

We are all serving a life sentence, and good behavior is our only hope for a pardon.

Smile, it's free therapy.

Smile, it's better than a poke in the eye.

If food were free, why work?

My ultimate joy and happiness is being a wife and mother.

We all want to judge; it's an intrinsic part of our society and human nature. I'm not surprised that talent shows are hits, but I'm glad some of them aren't so brutal.

Your own personal health is your own personal choice, all the way down the line.

I stand before you a totally healthy person.

I feel my heart break to see a nation ripped apart by it's own greatest strength - it's diversity.

I'm exploring the maturity, the wisdom that just comes from having gone around the sun 50 times. My experience is, 'Oh, I'm never really going to get it right. I'm never going to get it done. But that's not the point here.' The point is the journey.

There are many plant medicines that are available to us that have a lot of stigma around them that I hope, in the future, our medical community can look at, because I would absolutely go to those alternatives first before I went back to Western medicine.

There will always be someone else with a different view than you. I appreciate them and would never say that they are wrong. I hope that they would give me that courtesy also.

I adopted a healthier diet. I take at least a tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar a day. It's an old wives' tale, but it really is one of the best things you can put in your mouth.

I think being a parent is knowing how to love. Sometimes love is discipline, sometimes it's humor, sometimes it's listening.

Nothing retains less of desire in art, in science, than this will to industry, booty, possession.

No one who has lived even for a fleeting moment for something other than life in its conventional sense and has experienced the exaltation that this feeling produces can then renounce his new freedom so easily.

All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.

Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.

Everything tends to make us believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as contradictions.

I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams... Man... is above all the plaything of his memory.

What the world really needs is more love and less paper work.

People see God every day, they just don't recognize him.

Belief in oneself is one of the most important bricks in building any successful venture.

An effort made for the happiness of others lifts above ourselves.

The cure for all the ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows, and the crimes of humanity, all lie in the one word 'love'. It is the divine vitality that everywhere produces and restores life.

None speak of the bravery, the might, or the intellect of Jesus; but the devil is always imagined as a being of acute intellect, political cunning, and the fiercest courage. These universal and instinctive tendencies of the human mind reveal much.

Home - that blessed word, which opens to the human heart the most perfect glimpse of Heaven, and helps to carry it thither, as on an angel's wings.

The secret of our success is that we never, never give up.

I don't think anybody anywhere can talk about the future of their people or of an organization without talking about education. Whoever controls the education of our children controls our future.

We must trust our own thinking. Trust where we're going. And get the job done.

I worked at The Old Globe Theater under the great baton of Craig Noel. One of the great theater heroes that we have. He was so great and so inspirational. I think I did 'Antony and Cleopatra' and 'The Taming of the Shrew'. I lived in Ocean Beach, and my rent was $140 a month.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is part of our constitutional rights and it belongs to everybody.

We all know about secrets - to have that pressure of something you can't reveal. That's universal: 'Am I safe? Am I gonna be OK? Will my family still love and respect me?'

I can't say enough about the guts and the talents of Amazon. They're so agile, they're so nimble; they picked us up two weeks after we premiered, and their whole attitude is, 'Go, go, go, go,' so I'm very, very impressed.

I actually got thrown into my Bar Mitzvah because my teacher, my Cantor, did not tell me that they would all say 'amen' at the end of each, for want of a better word, paragraph. And that threw me completely. I almost went into an Ella Fitzgerald sort of scat.
