There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has... Ralph Waldo Emerson
Loki in 'Thor' is the most incredible springboard into a sort of excavation of the darker aspects of human nature. So that was thrilling, coming back knowing that I'd built the boat and now I could set sail into choppier waters. Tom Hiddleston
Our people are working overtime - I say our people; our federal agencies in this regard - and that I'm confident that the way that you can stop this and make Americans the most protected for this is to take it to the terrorist groups. Hugh Shelton
I sometimes find the surface interesting. To say that the mark of a good portrait is whether you get them or get the soul - I don't think this is possible all of the time. Annie Leibovitz
Edward Gorey quote: "Explaining something makes it go away, so to speak; what's..."
Explaining something makes it go away, so to speak; what's important is left after you have explained everything else. Edward Gorey
Well, I look at it like this: When you go to a restaurant, the less you know about what happens in the kitchen, the more you enjoy your meal. If the soup tastes good, everything's cool, and you don't necessarily want to know what's in it. The same thing holds true with movies. Jeffrey Wright
Scott Weiland quote: "There's a beauty in being part of a band, when there's..."
There's a beauty in being part of a band, when there's equality and trust. Scott Weiland

Despite what many Americans think, most Soviets do not yearn for capitalism or Western-style democracy. Dan Rather
Bereavement is the sharpest challenge to our trust in God; if faith can overcome this, there is no mountain which it cannot remove. Dean Inge
This concern with the basic condition of freedom -- the absence of physical constraint -- is unquestionably necessary, but is not all that is necessary. It is perfectly possible for a man to be out of prison and yet not free -- to be under no physical constraint and yet to be a psychological captive, compelled to think, feel and act as the representatives of the national State, or of some private interest within the nation, want him to think, feel and act. Aldous Huxley
He was a volatile mixture of confidence and vulnerability. He could deliver extended monologues on professional matters, then promptly stop in his tracks to peer inquisitively into his guest's eyes for signs of boredom or mockery, being intelligent enough to be unable fully to believe in his own claims to significance. He might, in a past life, have been a particularly canny and sharp-tongued royal advisor. Alain de Botton
Billie Holiday quote: "I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business..."
I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own. Billie Holiday
If the mountains fell in the sea, Let it be, it ain't me. Got my own world to live through. And I ain't gonna copy you. Now, if 6 turned up to be 9, I don't mind, I don't mind. If all the hippies cut off their hair, I don't care, I don't care. Did, 'cos I got my own world to live through. And I ain't gonna copy you. Jimi Hendrix
Jawaharlal Nehru quote: "It is only too easy to make suggestions and later try to..."
It is only too easy to make suggestions and later try to escape the consequences of what we say. Jawaharlal Nehru
