It is the nature of thought to find its way into action.

False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade.

Doubt whom you will, but never yourself.

Our first and last love is self-love.

The scope of an intellect is not to be measured with a tape-string, or a character deciphered from the shape or length of a nose.

It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness; it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.

We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them.

The opinions of the misanthropical rest upon this very partial basis, that they adopt the bad faith of a few as evidence of the worthlessness of all.

The lively and mercurial are as open books, with the leaves turned down at the notable passages. Their souls sit at the windows of their eyes, seeing and to be seen.

Tears are nature's lotion for the eyes. The eyes see better for being washed by them.

The passions are like fire, useful in a thousand ways and dangerous only in one, through their excess.

Only when we accept the fact that the world is never exactly as we see it through our individual lens of perception will we be able to accept ourselves or the mystery that is life itself.

We had to google the lyrics to our own song

Don't expect ambiguities, hesitations or palace intrigues from me.

When I was younger, I didn't like shooting part, because I was more of a writer and didn't like being the center of it all.

Art is about trying to find the good in people, and making the world a more compassionate place.

I am a health nut and only do things that are good for my body.

The race of the guardians must be kept pure.

Who knows why men do anything?

I lost faith in the Oscars the first year I was a movie critic - the year that Bonnie and Clyde didn't win.

You know, feeling and action are always linked, one can't exist without the other. It's sort of a hippie thing.
