Querer não é poder. Quem pôde, quis antes de poder só depois de poder. Quem quer nunca há-de poder, porque se perde em querer. 

O ignorante afirma, o sábio duvida, o sensato reflete. 

Dizes que a beleza não é nada? Imagina um hipopótamo com alma de anjo... Sim, ele poderá convencer os outros de sua angelitude - mas que trabalheira! 

Para quê preocuparmo-nos com a morte? A vida tem tantos problemas que temos de resolver primeiro. 

Se a tranquilidade da água permite refletir as coisas, o que não poderá a tranquilidade do espírito? 

Deus me enviou à terra com uma missão. Só Ele pode me deter, os homens nunca poderão. 

Não faças da tua vida um rascunho.  Poderás não ter tempo de passá-la a limpo. 

Nossas dúvidas são traidoras e nos fazem perder o que, com frequência, poderíamos ganhar, por simples medo de arriscar. 

Fiquei magoado, não por me teres mentido, mas por não poder voltar a acreditar-te. 

Quem tem um amigo, mesmo que um só, não importa onde se encontre, jamais sofrerá de solidão; poderá morrer de saudades, mas não estará só. 

Sabemos o que somos, mas não sabemos o que poderemos ser. 

Nós poderíamos ser muito melhores se não quiséssemos ser tão bons. 

A leitura após certa idade distrai excessivamente o espírito humano das suas reflexões criadoras. Todo o homem que lê demais e usa o cérebro de menos adquire a preguiça de pensar. 

Toda a poesia - e a canção é uma poesia ajudada - reflete o que a alma não tem. Por isso a canção dos povos tristes é alegre e a canção dos povos alegres é triste. 

Quem não sabe o que é a vida, como poderá saber o que é a morte? 

Pessimismo leva à fraqueza, otimismo ao poder. 

Even if one is interested only in one's own society, which is one's prerogative, one can understand that society much better by comparing it with others.

I have a little brother. He's actually living at my house right now. He's going to be 18.

I guess my first big break was getting the hit show 'Cavemen' on ABC. People made fun of it, but it was a huge opportunity for me and moved me out to L.A., where I learned a ton about acting and how much I didn't want to be in makeup for four hours a day.

Ice T was just a pleasure to work with. He was a smart gentleman.

I've always written about adultery because it raises the question of transgression and trouble.

Myth is the hidden part of every story, the buried part, the region that is still unexplored because there are as yet no words to enable us to get there. Myth is nourished by silence as well as by words.

There would be no need for love if perfection were possible. Love arises from our imperfection, from our being different and always in need of the forgiveness, encouragement and that missing half of ourselves that we are searching for, as the Greek myth tells us, in order to complete ourselves.

Being the son of a filmmaker, you are aware of a career as a director. You don't think of it as just movies, but as a life.

Long weekends at festivals, short weeks at home, all summer long: now that is surely preferable to the immense cost and headache of the nuclear family holiday in the sun?

I believe that the only alternative Israel has to save itself as a Jewish state - and let's be frank about that: the Jewish state is predicated on having a Jewish majority - the only way we can do that is by unilaterally withdrawing our border and withdrawing our settlements in the West Bank.

Charm which means the power to effect work without employing brute force is indispensable to women. Charm is a womans strength just as strength is a mans charm.

Men don't have as many difficulties and are more supported to combine the different aspects of their life.

I have seen players and coaches come and go, but through it all, I have always known Cleveland is where I want to retire. But life doesn't always work the way you want it to, and at the end of the day, the saying, 'This is a business,' is unfortunately true.

The casting directors that were aware of 'The Real World' looked at me as a joke. It was so hard to get away from that.

I don't want to limit myself. I want to keep doing all sorts of roles. I guess what lies behind this urge is the conviction that movies have changed my life. And certain performances have inspired me to try to be someone different.

I try to do my best to have fun off the court.

I've been an activist in the LGBT community for a long time. I think nothing's changed, I'm just a little bit more focused on the 'T' now than I was on the 'L' or the 'G.'

It's all about racing on the track.

I started doing a paper round when I was about 10. I started earning 10 pounds a week and then I was obsessed with earning money until I was about 15.

My obsessions stay the same - historical memory and historical erasure. I am particularly interested in the Americas and how a history that is rooted in colonialism, the language and iconography of empire, disenfranchisement, the enslavement of peoples, and the way that people were sectioned off because of blood.

A minority government can't govern without support from other parties.

Lord please forgive me for my sinning I aint saying that Im finished but Im praying in advance Cause they way her eyes glance like they playing in my pants

If you aren’t begging for rest. Then you aren’t training your best

At least in Russia, you cannot just go and tap into someone's phone conversation without a warrant issued by court. That's more or less the way a civilized society should go about fighting terrorism.
