If you want to write, write it. That's the first rule. And send

it in, and send it in to someone who can publish it or get it published. Don't send it to me. Don't show it to your spouse, or your significant other, or your parents, or somebody. They're not going to publish it. Robert B. Parker The Chinese culture belongs not only to the Chinese but also to the whole world. Jinato Hu To give an accurate and exhaustive account of that period would need a far less brilliant pen than mine. Max Beerbohm I've been reckless, but I'm not a rebel without a cause. Angelina Jolie I am still learning every day not to watch other people's careers and compare. Joely Fisher Old age is just a record of one's whole life.

Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down . Woody Allen There are some people that if they don't know, you can't tell them. Louis Armstrong Look, there's no metaphysics on earth like chocolates. Fernando Pessoa I am against all war.

But I warn my colleagues that we will fail in our efforts to protect the

homeland if we do not take additional steps to avoid a trade-off between protecting ourselves against terrorists attacks and preparing for and responding to natural disasters.

Michel de Montaigne No man pays double or twice for the same thing, forasmuch as nothing can be spent but once.

Howard Dean There's really no age limit when you out there in those streets. Young Buck

The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things

for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live. Aristotle Things have got to be wrong in order that they may be deplored. Alfred Whitney Griswold For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds. Robert Greene I like to play dress up, I'm in love with fashion. Fantasia Barrino My father was a minister, so I was a P.K., a preacher's kid. Dorothy Malone The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears. Francis Bacon The most simple things can bring the most happiness. Izabella Scorupco

A lot of times black folks look for love in all the wrong places. You're

always looking for somebody to love you, be accepted, and there's the insecurities that are even transmitted through rap. Everyone is trying to aim to please too much. Chuck D They are more beautiful than anything in the world, kinetic sculptures, perfect form in motion. Kate Millett Have you ever noticed? Anybody going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac. Ronnie Corbett All teenagers have this desire to somehow run away.

Jane Austen I don't care about motivation. I care about credibility. Eliot Spitzer

My songs are the reflection of how I think and how I feel in that

moment. But I'm conscious of the fact that artists have a responsibility before the masses and they have to take care with their words. Shakira My uncle, who was a little more flamboyant, always said the guy who dressed the best was Fred Astaire. Andy Garcia I think it's critical that you feel you're working for a person who is committed to advancing your career. Andrea Jung The chips are in production, the machines aren't.

Bessie Anderson Stanley The great composer does not set to work because he is inspired, but becomes inspired because he is working. Ernest Newman

Every place in the country you should get a license that shows you know how

to safely store it, keep it away from your children or grandchildren. You should have to license it so the police can trace it if it's used in a crime. Michael D. Barnes But actors at a certain point take the best of what's available to them. Kelly Lynch The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.

Ayn Rand The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer. Henry David Thoreau We are so very 'umble. Charles Dickens

It's really hard to say how long the show will last and will continue. I

hope it lasts for a very long time. As long as kids watch it, anyway. But beyond this, sure, I would love to be doing film. I'd love to be doing more theater and perhaps even writing. Steve Burns In that, Blade 2 is very much like a rock concert... if it's too loud, you're too old. Guillermo del Toro First, he must hold rational values, and to do this he must be a thinker. Andrew Bernstein Writing for me is cutting out the fat and getting to the meaning. James McBride Love is, above all, the gift of oneself. Jean Anouilh Radical Islam has been the foe of Christendom for centuries. Tom Tancredo Dementia is not exclusively a problem of the developed world. Julie Bishop

Beyond that, I seem to be compelled to write science fiction, rather than fantasy or

mysteries or some other genre more likely to climb onto bestseller lists even though I enjoy reading a wide variety of literature, both fiction and nonfiction. Joan D. Vinge It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa. Alan Perlis When I was a young man, I was overly sensitive to things, and I found it difficult to eat when I was nervous. Robert Barnes Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future. Euripides Bill Withers and Curtis Mayfield, those are the people who informed me in playing the bass. Colin Greenwood If I told you the words, you wouldn't believe them anyway. Richard Berry Everybody in the '80s, well, we hate rap. Now, the biggest rapper in the world... Eminem. Rap's a black thing. Chubby Checker

The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any

Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false. Thomas Aquinas In the power of fixing the attention lies the most precious of the intellectual habits. Robert Hall As a small businessperson, you have no greater leverage than the truth. John Greenleaf Whittier A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights. Napoleon Bonaparte Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud. W. H. Auden Like Cato, give his little senate laws, and sit attentive to his own applause. Alexander Pope Let them hate me, provided they respect my conduct. Tiberius

Absurdity is what I like most in life, and there's humor in struggling in ignorance.

If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd. David Lynch Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing, peace is the measure. Phyllis McGinley The more things change, the more they are the same.

Barrie You think about taking audiences on a journey. Sam Mendes The mind of man is like a clock that is always running down, and requires to be constantly wound up. William Hazlitt

A show that no one thought had a chance has just finished its fifth year:

Charmed. I think it's tougher for the younger networks, so I think they have a little more patience for the sake of the show. But who knows? Aaron Spelling People tend to forget their duties but remember their rights. Indira Gandhi Getting to the pint where the other is not the enemy is a big leap. Stanley Crouch I do think it's possible to go through life and never fall in love, or find someone who loves you. Morrissey They defined what was private and what was public and they would move it whenever they wished. Andrew Morton You do not have to do everything disagreeable that you have a right to do. Judith Martin The suffering of the Bahamian people is nearly ended. A new day is coming. It is almost here. Perry Christie

There's a kind of sick security some people get out of keeping away from people

with disabilities. They are running away from any situation that's not totally pure and all-American and that requires them to do any thinking. Major Owens I accept that responsibility and ask only that I be judged by my performance as its chief executive. Jane Byrne Happiness is being on the beam with life - to feel the pull of life. Agnes Martin Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.

Alice Miller The goals made such a difference to the way this game went. John Motson

We are motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is

the more he is inspired by glory. The very philosophers themselves, even in those books which they write in contempt of glory, inscribe their names. Marcus Tullius Cicero On the whole, show business is a hard business in which to be married. Scott Bakula I stayed in New York City for the first time, I'd always wanted to do that. Amy Sedaris That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, the happy highways where I went and cannot come again. A. E. Housman Fortune truly helps those who are of good judgment. Euripides I want to feel lucky every night when I go onstage, and not feel like, 'Oh, great, here we go again. Joel Madden Be polite; write diplomatically; even in a declaration of war one observes the rules of politeness. Otto von Bismarck

To be quite honest, I've been very blessed when I've worked with Hollywood. The studios

that have purchased my work to be adapted to film have really liked the work and wanted to stay as close as they could to what the book was. Nicholas Sparks Some folks rail against other folks, because other folks have what some folks would be glad of. Henry Fielding What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ? Pontius Pilate And I'm not trying to write heavy songs. Elliott Smith Though just biographical record will touch the failings of the good and the eminent with tenderness. Anna Seward Our albums just tend to be collections of songs really, because we all write in the group, all four of us. John Deacon Chefs, as a whole, say yes to any project, fundraiser, or tasting because they have such a generous spirit. Charlie Trotter

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that

determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are. Norman Vincent Peale There are very honest people who do not think that they have had a bargain unless they have cheated a merchant. Anatole France If the power to do hard work is not a skill, it's the best possible substitute for it. James A. Garfield Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time. Marian Wright Edelman I had to fight all my life to survive. They were all against me... but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch. Ty Cobb I love good food but I follow strict rules the days I perform. Jose Carreras A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier. Tom Stoppard

We're going to have to forgive a great deal of the Soviet era debt. There's

no question about that. Let's face up to that. We're going to have to put in money if Russia is really going to consolidate a democracy. Jeffrey Sachs But I'm not imaginative. I couldn't look into the future, like Star Wars or Robots or anything like that. Harry Dean Stanton We make war that we may live in peace. Aristotle A woman should be an illusion. Ian Fleming Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none. Richard M. DeVos When it gets down to it you just have to act. Aaron Eckhart If I moved, he moved. If I stopped, he stopped. It was a duel. Jennifer Esposito

My kid could get a bad X-ray and I could get a call from the

doctor saying I have something growing in my bum and that would change my perspective on everything instantaneously, on what is and what is not important. Tom Hanks Anything is good if it's made of chocolate. Jo Brand The work that is truly productive is the domain of a steadily smaller and more elite fraction of humanity. Vernor Vinge There is no doubt that Formula 1 has the best risk management of any sport and any industry in the world. Jackie Stewart Pop culture is not about depth. It's about marketing, supply and demand, consumerism. Trevor Dunn From my earliest days, I was fascinated by science. George E. Brown, Jr. Just as the Red Sox proved the critics wrong, Maine can compete and can win. John Baldacci

The idea of being a foreign correspondent and wandering the world and witnessing great events,

having adventures and covering the activities of world leaders, appealed to me greatly. It was a very glamorous life in those days. Alan Cranston The thing I enjoyed most were visits from children. They did not want public office. Herbert Hoover I think I'm a good Canadian, but I'm not the greatest Canadian. Donald Stewart Cherry It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover. Henri Poincare He who never leaves his country is full of prejudices. Carlo Goldoni Justice? You get justice in the next world, in this world you have the law. William Gaddis As for morality, well that's all tied up with the question of consciousness. Roger Penrose

My background is somewhat unusual, as I trained to be a ballet dancer. I worked

in the theatre for eight or nine years as a contemporary dancer. But as an actor one does read Shakespeare and does try to learn the classics. William Kempe Those who cannot think or take responsibility for themselves need, and clamor for, a leader. Hermann Hesse There are a tremendous amount of environmental issues that are on the table. Ed Rendell He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity. Cesare Pavese I was reading so much about myself in the papers that was not me. Rebecca Loos None of the abstract concepts comes closer to fulfilled utopia than that of eternal peace. Theodor Adorno The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family. Lee Iacocca

As we talk about the need to foster academic achievement, we must recognize and reward

those who strive academically, just as we honor athletic champions. Meeting the President of the United States is just the honor we should bestow on our academic champions. Brad Sherman Western States keep playing with, and around, Russia. Aslan Maskhadov If you lived through the shooting of Jaws, you can live through anything. Sam Mendes If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf. Nikita Khrushchev We're all the harshest judges of ourselves. Susan Anton I'm a member of the US committee o the United Nations. Betty Hill God gave me a great body and it's my duty to take care of my physical temple. Jean-Claude Van Damme

The process is very gradual, you see. At first there's the tainted stage; they know

what will eventually happen to them if they go on but they say, 'Oh God, don't do it to me do it again, please, please.' Terence Fisher I looked like an alien, and in front of the most beautiful people on TV. Christine Taylor In this part of the world, only Maine gives winter the welcome and the worship it should have.

Nelson Mandela Giving birth is like taking your lower lip and forcing it over your head. Carol Burnett

We started playing the Baltimore Colts early, and I was still very impressed with Johnny

Unitas, who just passed away recently. I thought he was one of the best quarterbacks at the time when I was very young, he was in his prime. Bob Lilly Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do. Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do. Mark Twain Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another. Jean Paul Oftentimes we love the thing we hate and vice versa. Andres Serrano Secondly, I thought it was ridiculous to have two undercover policemen driving around in a striped tomato. Paul Michael Glaser Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while. Charles Barkley I think we risk becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance. Ruben Blades

Our people went out every single night trying to stop crime before it happened, trying

to take people off the street that they believed were involved in crime. That made us a very aggressive, proactive police department. Daryl Gates Me and Janet really are two different people. Michael Jackson The truth is that I am enslaved... in one vast love affair with 70 children. Sylvia Ashton-Warner There are scores you have to write objectively without getting involved. Alex North I was made to be a perfectionist at everything I did. Everything was more important than what I wanted. Dennis Quaid Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven. John Donne Elizabeth's back at the red cross, and I'm walking the dog. Bob Dole

My characters surprise me constantly. My characters are like my friends - I can give

them advice, but they don't have to take it. If your characters are real, then they surprise you, just like real people. Laurell K. Hamilton It is not hard to obey when we love the one whom we obey. Saint Ignatius Why should I give you an interview? All you journalists are plagiarists. Sam Peckinpah He who is firm in will molds the world to himself.

Norm MacDonald A big iron needle stitching the country together. Jessamyn West Who ran to help me when I fell, And would some pretty story tell, Or kiss the place to make it well? My mother. Jane Taylor What after all, is a halo? It's only one more thing to keep clean. Christopher Fry Quick decisions are unsafe decisions. Sophocles

I try to be careful because technology changes so much over the years. But some

things don't change. Kids and parents have disagreements, kids try to manipulate, parents try to sit down with rules and regs. That part never changes. Paula Danziger I always wanted attention, and I realized I could make people laugh. Lusia Strus Trust is the first step to love. Munshi Premchand Color does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it. Pierre Bonnard I have suffered from depression for most of my life. It is an illness.

Johnson Benefits should be conferred gradually; and in that way they will taste better. Niccolo Machiavelli

What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they

don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long. Thomas Sowell Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young. Dorothy Canfield Fisher Rebellion is the only thing that keeps you alive! Marianne Faithfull Any political party that includes the word 'democratic' in its name, isn't. Patrick Murray The first glass is for myself, the second for my friends, the third for good humor, and the forth for my enemies. William Temple For the Department of Energy to conduct this investigation is like the fox watching the hen house. Shelley Berkley Look for a long time at what pleases you, and a longer time at what pains you. Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

A lot of knowledge in any kind of an organization is what we call task

knowledge. These are things that people who have been there a long time understand are important, but they may not know how to talk about them. It's often called the culture of the organization.

the frustrations, emotions, and accidents which cause events; the concept of reason is viewed as facade to prevent change. Edward Levi He who seldom speaks, and with one calm well-timed word can strike dumb the loquacious, is a genius or a hero. Johann Kaspar Lavater This is really America in therapy, people trying to get themselves together and be whole. David Viscott There were a couple of years where I was skating and acting at the same time. Julie Benz No temptation can ever be measured by the value of its object. Sidonie Gabrielle Colette Desegregation is a joke. Nina Simone If you live for pleasure, your ability to enjoy it may pass away and your senses grow dim. Matthew Simpson

I've always thought with relationships, that it's more about what you bring to the table

than what you're going to get from it. It's very nice if you sit down and the cake appears. But if you go to the table expecting cake, then it's not so good. Anjelica Huston I'm comfortable, but not satisfied and I hope to always feel that way. Trevor Dunn And I'm not an actress. I don't think I am an actress. I think I've created a brand and a business. Pamela Anderson I am inspired by many mediums and use them to express varied aspects of my philosophies and life observations. Judith Anderson I'm not like one of those actors who's a frustrated director. Gary Sinise A mistake is simply another way of doing things. Katharine Graham Except on their southern borders the great northern forests are not good as a permanent home for man. Ellsworth Huntington

I found a sound that people really liked - I found this basic concept and

all I did was change the lyrics and the melody a little bit. My songs, if you listen to them, they're quite a lot alike, like Chuck Berry. Buck Owens I'm a crack shot and I've won medals for shooting. But I don't think I could shoot a person. Gene Vincent Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.

Paul Getty I want some day to be able to love with the same intensity and unselfishness that parents love their children with. Shakira Housework is work directly opposed to the possibility of human self-actualization. Ann Oakley

I'm proud to say that they are my enemy. They are not Americans, never have been Americans, never will be Americans. Don Young Love is my religion - I could die for it. John Keats Chemists employed by the police can do remarkable things with blood. They can weave it into a rope to hang a man. Margery Allingham No it wasn't at the time cause you have to remember, I had been playing clubs since I was 13. Steve Brown I never discuss a novel while I'm writing it, for fear that talking about it will diminish my desire to write it. Dean Koontz Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed. Frank Lloyd Wright Achievement results from work realizing ambition. Adam Ant

Boy, if Garth Ennis had created a religion, I would sure like to be a

part of that. It just makes sense, the way he tackles things in it. It's really heavy stuff and it's incredibly well written. James Marsden Education is not only a ladder of opportunity, but it is also an investment in our future. Ed Markey Always speak politely to an enraged Dragon. Steven Brust I'll sing as long as people want to hear me, and I'll be able to sing as long as I'm alive.

Donald Rumsfeld The great break of my literary career was going to law school. Scott Turow

Religion always remains higher than everyday life. In order to make the elevation towards religion

easier for people, religion must be able to alter its forms in relation to the consciousness of modern man. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn From one Soul of the Universe are all Souls derived. Georg Hermes Words are men's daughters, but God's sons are things. Izaak Walton People do not want words - they want the sound of battle - the battle of destiny.

Matthew Henry When strangers start acting like neighbors... communities are reinvigorated. Ralph Nader

Out with stereotypes, feminism proclaims. But stereotypes are the west's stunning sexual personae, the vehicles

of art's assault against nature. The moment there is imagination, there is myth. Camille Paglia The freedom of thought and expression is one of the most sacred rights in this country. Eliot Engel The game of history is usually played by the best and the worst over the heads of the majority in the middle. Eric Hoffer But only a brief moment is granted to the brave one breath or two, whose wage is the long nights of the grave. Muhammad Iqbal Dancing is a sweat job. Fred Astaire Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs. Alfred Hitchcock I argue that the Talmud is about the constant struggle to understand. Arthur Hertzberg

I try to write in plain brown blocks of American speech but occasionally set in

an ancient word or a strange word just to startle the reader a little bit and to break up the monotony of the plain American cadence. James Laughlin There's a lot involved in going to the bathroom for women. Leah Remini So I promise you that this State of the State, like a good pizza, will be delivered in 25 minutes or less.

Connie Willis Man is remembered by his deeds. Knute Nelson

Everything in high school seems like the most important thing that's ever happened in your

Mark Hoppus Freedom lies in being bold. Robert Frost A lasting order cannot be established by bayonets. Ludwig von Mises Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed upon the Yankees. Apparently it angers them. Bob Feller My definition of modernism took a while to develop. Peter Gay Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will. Nelson Mandela But however measurable, there is much more life in music than mathematics or logic ever dreamed of. Gabriel Marcel

We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will

of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country. Thomas Jefferson I drink no more than a sponge.

George Henry Lewes I'm against ignorance. Herman Kahn

That a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth as for

peace and defence of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things; and be contented with so much liberty against other men, as he would allow other men against himself. Thomas Hood The minority is sometimes right; the majority always wrong. George Bernard Shaw What is important is to have values in life. What's important is how you are, not how you look.

After a long, impartial enquiry of the truth, and after much and earnest calling upon

God, to give unto me the spirit and revelation in the knowledge of Him, I find myself obliged, both by the principles of reason and Scripture, to embrace the opinion I now hold forth.

Most of our history in space has been communicated in terms of action - what

people do, a chronological list of events which have transpired - as opposed to the human experience of having done those things. Story Musgrave And remember don't high post when you're far from home, and high posting when you're all alone. Mos Def Now, there are some who would like to rewrite history - revisionist historians is what I like to call them. George W. Bush The modern state no longer has anything but rights; it does not recognize duties any more. Georges Bernanos Fame is addictive. Money is addictive. Attention is addictive. But golf is second to none. Marc Anthony Well, I'm having a good time. Which makes me feel guilty too. How very English. David Attenborough A truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil. Grover Cleveland
