I have so much strength in me you have no idea. I have a love in my life. It makes me stronger than anything you can imagine. I would say 'that's that', Mattress Man.
~Punch-Drunk Love
The song ends; the voices quaver away with a rich and dying fall. Whitfield begins. His voice is bigger than him. It's like they are not the same. It's like he is one, and his voice is one, swimming on two horses side by side across the ford and coming into the house, the mud-splashed one and the one that never even got wet, triumphant and sad. Somebody in the house begins to cry. It sounds like her eyes and her voice were turned back inside her, listening; we move, shifting to the other leg, meeting one another's eye and making like they hadn't touched.
~William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying
Where my reason, imagination or interest were not engaged, I would not or I could not learn.
~Winston Churchill
Nothing that we despise in the other man is entirely absent from ourselves. We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or don't do, and more in light of what they suffer."
~Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Any man or woman with a book in their hands is sexier.
~Sherman Alexie
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
~George Orwell
Beauty is truth, truth beauty, — that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
~John Keats
You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
~Anne Lamott
Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.
~Fyodor Dostoevsky
I do not read advertisements. I would spend all of my time wanting things.
~Franz Kafka
Advertising is based on one thing: happiness. And do you know what happiness is? Happiness is the smell of a new car. It's freedom from fear. It's a billboard on the side of a road that screams with reassurance that whatever you're doing is okay. You are okay.
~Don Draper, Mad Men
War is what happens when language fails.
~Margaret Atwood
I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs.
~Alvy Singer, "Annie Hall"
Lightning McQueen: I'm serious! He's won three Piston Cups!
Mater: [spits out fuel] He did WHAT in his cup?
~Cars
I understand nothing. But I am happy.
~Saturday from "The Man Who Was Thursday"
If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.
~Orson Welles
