It's such a shame to waste time. We always think we have so much of it.

When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.

One day spent with someone you love can change everything.

When you look into your mother’s eyes, you know that is the purest love you can find on this earth.

But she wasn’t around, and that’s the thing when your parents die, you feel like instead of going in to every fight with backup, you are going into every fight alone.

You can find something truly important in an ordinary minute.

Sharing tales of those we've lost is how we keep from really losing them.

Most of Hollywood is about making money - and I love money, but I don't make the films thinking about money.

Mind, even more deadly to empires than to individuals, erodes them, compromises their solidity.

If the crowns of all the kingdoms of the empire were laid down at my feet in exchange for my books and my love of reading I would spurn them all.

Every childhood has its talismans, the sacred objects that look innocuous enough to the outside world, but that trigger an onslaught of vivid memories when the grown child confronts them.

To me, nothing is more vibrant than having the power to do something but not having the experience of knowing what's right and what's wrong.
