Be sure that you speak with unfeigned lips.

He who would tell divers tales must know how to vary the tune.

The dead and past stories that I have told again in divers fashions, are not set down without authority.

Be sure that you speak with unfeigned lips.

Out of five hundred who speak glibly of love, not one can spell the first letter of his name.

But sweetly and discreetly love passes from person to person, from heart to heart, or it is nothing worth.

I love no woman, for love is a serious business, not a jest.

Now will I rehearse before you a very ancient Breton Lay. As the tale was told to me, so, in turn, will I tell it over again, to the best of my art and knowledge. Hearken now to my story, its why and its reason.

Whosoever counts these Lays as fable, may be assured that I am not of his mind.

Great were the lamentation and the cry when the news of this mischance was noised about the city. Such a tumult of mourning was never before heard, for the whole city was moved.

Fairest and dearest, your wrath and anger are more heavy than I can bear; but learn that I cannot tell what you wish me to say without sinning against my honour too grievously.

For what the lover would, that would the beloved; what she would ask of him that should he go before to grant. Without accord such as this, love is but a bond and a constraint.

The fool shouts loudly, thinking to impress the world.

There are divers men who make a great show of loyalty, and pretend to such discretion in the hidden things they hear, that at the end folk come to put faith in them.

For above all things Love means sweetness, and truth, and measure; yea, loyalty to the loved one and to your word. And because of this I dare not meddle with so high a matter.

If one of two lovers is loyal, and the other jealous and false, how may their friendship last, for Love is slain!

To be an artist is to believe in life.

War is sweet to those who have not experienced it.

If I was rich enough, I would love to launch my own record label. I would love to try and give all my musically talented friends a start in the industry.

My evidence that I am saved does not lie in the fact that I preach, or that I do this or that. All my hope lies in this: that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. I am a sinner, I trust Him, then He came to save me, and I am saved.

When we were trying to get 'Jersey Boys' off the ground, I'd get, 'The Four Seasons? Who's going to care? There's the Beatles, there's the Rolling Stones.' But people know those stories. Here was a story no one knew.

We are optimistic, but we are optimistic in a cautious fashion.

'Avatar' was gorgeous. There are good stories in there, but when used in other movies they're similar to those violent video games. Characters using deadly weapons. The children follow these movies.

Everyone who believes in God at all believes that he knows what you and I are going to do tomorrow.

You see, 30 years ago I didn't have near the audience I have now. My tapes on the cults have reached a circulation of 15 million. those are not my figures but the figures of the people who distribute them.

'Le Reve' may be one of the three best pictures Pablo Picasso ever painted.

Anything is possible even the most far fetched idea can come to being through a series of seemingly small decisions and actions.

Relationships are like money, Hard to earn and easy to lose.

I hardly knew anything when I first arrived. I had to learn how to act as I went along. After about a year I got a grip on what acting was all about and it started coming straight from my heart; I wasn't just saying the words any longer.

I found it very helpful not to do the venture round. Instead, I started with very little money, a few thousand dollars, and I did every job myself. I was the first photographer. I was the first customer service rep. I was the first online marketing person.

I'm not even the most influential person in my own house.

So much of the physical world has been explored. But the deluge of data I get to investigate really lets me chart new territory. Genetic data from people living today forms an archaeological record of what happened to their ancestors 10,000 years ago.

And having once chosen never to seek to return to the crossroads of that decision for even if one chooses wrongly the choice cannot be unmade.

I try to wear a watch all the time, because I think guys get the short end of the stick when it comes to jewelry and accessories. A watch is a very chic men's item, and you're sort of wasting it if you just look at your cell phone.

Tina Fey could run this country before Sarah Palin could!

My main goal is to really make people think, and laugh while they do so.

I have as much artistic freedom in my television work as I have in my films.

I have always thought that the place where you sleep or the place you share with your partner should be separate from the place where you write. The domestic rituals and details somehow kill the imagination. They kill the demon in me.

When I used to do the Edinburgh Festival, there was a bunch of guys selling fresh oysters and I'd eat ten daily - marvellous.

Mendacity is a system that we live in. Liquor is one way out an death's the other.
