I love all sides of the work but that doesn't mean it isn't hard.

Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.

To me history ought to be a source of pleasure. It isn't just part of our civic responsibility. To me it's an enlargement of the experience of being alive, just the way literature or art or music is.

Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.

Never assume that people in positions of responsibility are behaving responsibly.

Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love.

And read… read all the time… read as a matter of principle, as a matter of self-respect. Read as a nourishing staple of life.

History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are.

Books can change your life. Some of the most influential people in our lives are characters we meet in books.

My wife, the star I steer by.

Courage is contagious. If a leader shows courage, others get the idea.

(His WIFE, understanding everything, wants him to stay. MARVIN wants to go. Or MARVIN wants to stay. She wants him to go. Anyway, he's going.)

I would like to be a free artist and nothing else, and I regret God has not given me the strength to be one.

I want to be around for a long time, I don't want to be a flash in the pan. I hope I'll be 50 years old and still making music.

Temples stand as a constant physical reminder of the grace and goodness of the Father.

Reality is just a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.

I do not like candid pictures. They are so unattractive.

What everyone is always afraid of is the unknown, or the unfamiliar. You got to have a look for a character that is mysterious and menacing, and doesn't quite look like what we've seen before.

No action will be considered blameless, unless the will was so, for by the will the act was dictated.

Thankfully, God's restraining grace keeps even the worst of us from being utterly depraved. The worst people who have ever lived could've been worse.

Men will always be mad, and those who think they can cure them are the maddest of all.
