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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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

Pessimismo leva à fraqueza, otimismo ao poder. 

Friends are those crazy people who keep coming back in spite of being exposed to the real you.

I'm probably my biggest critic. I worry that if you spend any quality time reveling in good things then karma will slap you upside the head, so I try to stay as even keel as I'm able.

The hand cannot reach higher than does the heart.

Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict.

What I've learnt being an actor is that you've got to be lucky. I got less lucky, and nobody was interested. If a part came up, it would be for the main corpse's friend's brother who was having problems with his marriage.

The worst happens, and life still goes on.

I read 'Dracula' in high school. I've been around vampires forever.

Never before had I been offered a contract and advance before a word had been written... I went home and began writing 'Julie of the Wolves.'

When I go on holiday and people ask me what I do, I tell them I do some internet stuff and I've done a couple of books and I hope they just leave it at that.

I am attached to the west coast of Scotland - it's gorgeous to look at and challenging. You have to contend with the possibility of being blown away or rained on. And in the summer months you can be eaten alive by midges.

I'm real easy-going.

When I am with you, the only place I want to be is closer.

I'm aware if I'm playing at my best I'm tough to beat. And I enjoy that.

I have no plan. I will leave it to the good things and good times to find me.

I have been to a few A-list parties, but not massively. It's not my life, but it's fun dipping into it.

The people that are running the bulk of the comic shops in North America aren't business people and they don't understand sales. They don't understand good product.

We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.

It is not an exaggeration to say that play is as basic to your child's total development as good food, cleanliness, and rest.

This is kind of weird, but I eat lemons with salt as snack. They're so good!

A decent boldness ever meets with friends.

It is important for women to feel beautiful when she looks in the mirror, and I tell women, 'If you don't feel beautiful, find one thing that you can look in that mirror and say, 'That is beautiful.'

Love is the true means by which the world is enjoyed: our love to others, and others love to us.

I supported Pat Toomey when he ran in 2010. I gave him money in September of 2009 because I wanted him to be the U.S. senator. I personally contributed my own money.

I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
