I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

Kisses are a better fate than wisdom.

The earth laughs in flowers.

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

Unbeing dead isn't being alive.

America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn't standing still.

Private property began the instant somebody had a mind of his own.

I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.

Unless you love someone, nothing else makes any sense.

I imagine that yes is the only living thing.

I would rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach 10,000 stars how not to dance.

At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

A politician is an arse upon which everyone has sat except a man.

I like my body when it is with your body. It is so quite new a thing. Muscles better and nerves more.

To destroy is always the first step in any creation.

A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long.

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

It takes three to make a child.

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

Listen; there's a hell of a good universe next door: let's go.

Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink.

To like an individual because he's black is just as insulting as to dislike him because he isn't white.

Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.

Nothing recedes like progress.

If a poet is anybody, he is somebody to whom things made matter very little - somebody who is obsessed by Making.

Be of love a little more careful than of anything.

Always the beautiful answer who asks a more beautiful question.

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

I mean the only thing that is hopefully good about us is after the arguments we can actually still face each other the next day or the day after and talk about something else and sort of get over it.

My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I've tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

Working mothers do an hour more per day than working fathers do and working mothers do on average an hour more per day with the kids than working fathers do.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

George Pal had total control, and he was there on the set every day. You never met a more charming man in your entire lifetime - what a lovely gentleman.

I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.

Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.

Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.

Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same.

A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing, you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play, you have all day.

I'd like to one day play Amanda, the mother, in The Glass Menagerie.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
