At moments we are all artists.

Your own mind is a sacred enclosure into which nothing harmful can enter except by your permission.

Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.

There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.

Its language is a language which the soul alone understands, but which the soul can never translate.

The best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding, is to go deliberately forth and try to lift with one's sympathy the gloom of somebody else.

Worry is evidence of an ill-controlled brain; it is merely a stupid waste of time in unpleasantness.

It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is from the top.

The real Tragedy is the tragedy of the man who never in his life braces himself for his one supreme effort-he never stretches to his full capacity, never stands up to his full stature.

Of all the inhabitants of the inferno, none but Lucifer knows that hell is hell, and the secret function of purgatory is to make of heaven an effective reality.

Falsehood often lurks upon the tongue of him, who, by self-praise, seeks to enhance his value in the eyes of others.

Take not a minute for granted, because that minute can never be replaced.

Let go of your mind and then be mindful.Close your ears and listen!

I feel very blessed to have two wonderful, healthy children who keep me completely grounded, sane and throw up on my shoes just before I go to an awards show just so I know to keep it real.

I'm a pluralist. I've always argued that as many different films as possible should be made.

It doesn't feel different being here (at the All-Star Game) I feel like I'm on an All-Star team everyday.

Heaven is angered by my arrogance; my proof [of the four-color theorem] is also defective.

I've always loved TV very much, and as a child I was so religious with it, but now it's more when it fits in.

It is support that sustains us on the journey we've started.

My guilty pleasure is elastic-waisted pants. And reruns of shows Ive already seen 400 times on TV.

By what standard of morality can the violence used by a slave to break his chains be considered the same as the violence of a slave master?
