We are come for your good, for all your goods.

Mad, is he? Then I hope he will bite some of my other generals.

We are come for your good, for all your goods.

Once you apologize, then the press wants you to get down on your knees and say you're sorry. They are not appeasable.

It ain't a bad plan to keep still occasionally even when you know what you're talking about.

A critic is not a creative artist, is a commenter, a midwife of creativity, but not creative himself.

Wolverine is a world-weary old warrior. His rage issue notwithstanding, I see him as someone with the tortured soul of a poet, but one who has seen too many friends and lovers die. Even with that, he has grown into a leader and a true hero.

For three decades, Democrats and Republicans worked together to make our environment better.

Advertising is - quite often - alive to our real needs. It's just the products on offer might not be the things that will help us satisfy them.

My characters who come back from death are worse for wear. In some ways, they're not even the same characters anymore. The body may be moving, but some aspect of the spirit is changed or transformed, and they've lost something.

Over consumption is a cancer eating away at our spiritual vitals. It distances us from the great masses of broken bleeding humanity. It converts us into materialists. We become less able to ask the moral questions.

We had more viewers on the broadcast network than we did on the cable channel.

What the bride should do is call guests who have young children and say: 'I'd love to have the kids at the wedding, but we won't have room. Would you get a baby sitter, and when we get back from our honeymoon, we'll have you guys over?'

I don't work all the time. That's why I waited to have children until I was ready for that. I try to organise my time according to them because they need me. I don't want to put my work first anymore because it's not as important as my children.

Darling Had they darlinged each other when they were here I imagined them magnificent on horseback tossing darlings to and fro.

'Morsel' is a perfect word. Forming those six letters on the lips and tongue prompts an instantaneous physiological reaction. The mouth waters. The lips purse.

Technique should be taught not as an end in itself but as something related to individual expression as a means toward an end. One cannot separate technique from expression. There is only expression.
