I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving... Allen Ginsberg
At our best and most fortunate we make pictures because of what stands in front of the camera, to honor what is greater and more interesting than we are. We never accomplish this perfectly, though in return we are given something perfect - a sense of inclusion. Our subject thus redefines us, and is part of the biography by which we want to be known. Robert Adams
Our task is to become our best selves. One of God's greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final. Thomas S. Monson

Italo Calvino quote: "You know that the best you can expect is to avoid the worst."
You know that the best you can expect is to avoid the worst. Italo Calvino
It makes me so happy. To be at the beginning again, knowing almost nothing.... A door like this has cracked open five or six times since we got up on our hind legs. It's the best possible time of being alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong. Tom Stoppard
Human beings act in a great variety of irrational ways, but all of them seem to be capable, if given a fair chance, of making a reasonable choice in the light of available evidence. Democratic institutions can be made to work only if all concerned do their best to impart knowledge and to encourage rationality. But today, in the world's most powerful democracy, the politicians and the propagandists prefer to make nonsense of democratic procedures by appealing almost exclusively to the... Aldous Huxley
If ever he had harboured a conscience in his tough narrow breast he had by now dug out and flung away the awkward thing - flung it so far away that were he ever to need it again he could never find it. High-shouldered to a degree little short of malformation, slender and adroit of limb and frame, his eyes close-set and the colour of dried blood, he is climbing the spiral staircase of the soul of Gormenghast, bound for some pinnacle of the itching fancy - some wild, invulnerable eyrie best... Mervyn Peake
Who's the best person you know. Of all the people you know personally, is there anyone who has a sense of right and wrong and lives by it? This was a sticky question because it would have to be Ranger ...but I suspected he occasionally killed people. Only bad people, of course, but still... Janet Evanovich
There is no real direction here, neither lines of power nor cooperation. Decisions are never really made? at best they manage to emerge, from a chaos of peeves, whims, hallucinations and all around assholery. Thomas Pynchon
Art is never the voice of a country, it is an even more precious thing, the voice of the individual, doing its best to speak, not comfort of any sort, but truth. And the art that speaks it most unmistakably, most directly, most variously, most fully, is fiction... Eudora Welty

The best effect of any book is that it excites the reader to self activity. Thomas Carlyle
One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your hear that every day is the best day of the year. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I love Israel, I go back all the time. I just love New York a little more. My workers are Arabs, my best friend is a black man from Alabama, my girlfriend's a Puerto Rican, and my landlord is a half-Jew bastard. You know what I did this morning? I read in the paper yesterday that the circus is setting up in the Madison Square Garden, they said the elephants would be walking through the Holland Tunnel at dawn.
