Knowledge will not be acquired without pains and application. It is troublesome and deep, digging for pure waters; but when once you come to the spring, they rise up and meet you.

I'm not a big splurger of money, but my guilty pleasures do lie within BMWs. I get roped in.

I like the dueling club scene, where Daniel and I fight with our wands. I thought it was a brilliant scene to shoot. I think the end product looked really good.

I used to have some fish, some nice little carp, but they got too big for the tank. I don't have any pets now.

Yeah, we held a junior carp tournament on the St. Lawrence River in New York last August. I hosted that along with a couple of other people.

There are a couple of carp fishing books I've been reading. I'm very interested in that line of books, because I think they write very well, carp anglers, about the general environment.

I like geography. I like to know where places are.

One of the difficulties of being a writer must be that you create drama that you can't live out. That's one of the wonderful things about acting.

Projects of personal transformation rarely succeed by accident, drift, or imposition.

What we want to be is something completely new. There is no physical analog for what Amazon.com is becoming.

When I'm making my music, I'm writing it, I'm producing it, I'm playing all the instruments, I'm performing. It's my own world where I do what I feel, and nobody tells me anything.

The middle years of life come on like thunder.

I honor God that much in the way I play. That's why I never believe in getting tired. I don't even know what that word means.

It may be observed in general that the future is purchased by the present. It is not possible to secure distant or permanent happiness but by the forbearance of some immediate gratification.

I watched her, waiting. She smiled. Her lips curved up and the edges, and her chocolate eyes warmed. I’d just admitted to stalking her, and she was smiling.
