Congratulations. That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Ever.

When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.

Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.

I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned

The world is a mess and I just need to rule it.

Half of seeming clever is keeping your mouth shut at the right times.

It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.

It was wise enough to know itself, and brave enough to be itself, and wild enough to change itself while somehow staying altogether true.

If I seem to wander, if I seem to stray, remember that true stories seldom take the straightest way

There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.

Do not mistake me for my mask. You see light dappling on the water and forget the deep, cold dark beneath.

The beauty of your soul depends on your thoughts more than what is going on around you.

We rode on the winds of the rising storm, We ran to the sounds of the thunder.We danced among the lightning bolts, and tore the world asunder.

Man's reach should exceed his grasp or what's a heaven for?

All of us know high-I.Q. people with whom we don't want to be in the same room.

Whites they pretended to ignore, as they busily lived mirror-image white lives.

It's not rocket science to make a movie.

So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!

If you try to copy something exactly you won't get it correct, because you don't share the same tradition and context.

There is no desire more natural than the desire of knowledge. (Il n'est desir plus naturel que le desir de connaissance)

Yield not to evils, but attack all the more boldly.
