Only a few years ago I enjoyed my tranquility; now I am so disturbed by the outer world and by human quality in general that I want to put things right, as though I still owed a debt to life. I must calm down. I am far too frail to indulge in moral fervor. Florida Scott-Maxwell

It's about how you exist as a person in the world, and the idea that your work is more important than you as a person is a horrible, horrible message. I always think about a little gay boy in Wisconsin or a little lesbian in Arkansas seeing someone like me, and if I cannot be open in my life, how on earth can they? Alan Cumming
William Wiley quote: "The whole Disney thing is really interesting, in a way, how..."
The whole Disney thing is really interesting, in a way, how that's so permeated life and the world and the planet. William Wiley
The pop musicians often leave meaning in the dust and substitute it for cartoons. The deeper artists - the grunge artists in the world and the emoticon people - tend to leave all of the happiness out of life like it just doesn't exist. Hal Sparks

Interfere with the reality of my world, and you therefore take the very life and heart out of my will. Josiah Royce
I think most people live in a space where they are looking for meaning in life and good in the world and that is not necessarily reflected in straight news coverage right now. Daryn Kagan
My grandfather had a particularly important influence on my life, even though I didn't visit him often, since he lived about three miles out of town and he died when I was six. He was remarkably curious about the world, and he read lots of books. Umberto Eco
An anxious unrest, a fierce craving desire for gain has taken possession of the commercial world, and in instances no longer rare the most precious and permanent goods of human life have been madly sacrificed in the interests of momentary enrichment. Felix Adler
When you've lived as long as I have, you tend to think you've heardeverything, that there's nothing left that can shock you anymore.

Paul Auster
