欢笑情如旧，萧疏鬓已斑。 — 淮上喜会梁州故人 [唐] 韦应物 江汉曾为客，相逢每醉还。 浮云一别后，流水十年间。 欢笑情如旧，萧疏鬓已斑。 何因不归去，淮上对秋山。

叶下斜阳照水，卷轻浪、沉沉千里。

西园公子名无忌，南国佳人号莫愁。

丈夫生世会几时，安能蹀躞垂羽翼？

亲朋无一字，老病有孤舟。

但屈指西风几时来，又不道、流年暗中偷换。

肠已断，泪难收。相思重上小红楼。

怕人寻问， 咽泪装欢。 瞒， 瞒， 瞒！

薄悻不来门半掩， 斜阳， 负你残春泪几行。

数声风笛离亭晚，君向潇湘我向秦。

新妆宜面下朱楼，深锁春光一院愁。

落日松风起，还家草露晞。

菩提只向心觅，何劳向外求玄？

翠袖低垂笼玉笋，红裙斜曳露金莲。

It's so much easier when you're a size two or three to just slip on anything. But a big girl, sometimes you've got to strap some stuff down!

Even if I don't want to slow down, I'm slowing down.

War is God's way of teaching Americans geography.

I don't for a moment believe that women have suffered the same kind of injustices that blacks have - women have never been enslaved. But still, many of the psychological and economic problems are the same.

Back in Rome I did some acting lessons and I realised I loved it more than anything else I had ever done before.

Today is you own. Tomorrow perchance may never come.

I've said to others that there were places I had forgotten about that were just so powerful. I've read the Gospels many times, but it's been a while since I've read through a whole book.

One of the functions of intelligence is to take account of the dangers that come from trusting solely to the intelligence.

When I started playing the game of baseball, the more I played and the better numbers I got, the more I started thinking about the Hall of Fame. But I never thought I had a chance to be there.

I've always considered myself a Libertarian. While I was running for governor of New Mexico, the Republicans were totally inclusive of me; the party was open-armed, but they never thought I'd win. I delivered in a really big way; I exceeded their expectations and think I'm still highly regarded by the GOP in New Mexico.

I have always loved Waffle House. It's been like an oasis in the desert many times late at night after one of my concerts.

I always felt journalists had a very clear idea of what they wanted to write about me before the interview began.

I would love to have written Roger Zelazny's first five books of 'Amber.' What a great idea he had about the shadings of reality!

Human societies, like human beings, live by faith and die when faith dies.

You can't wait and sit for the phone to ring, so I do theater.

I don't just think regular season. I think playoffs. World Series. That's how I think.

I wish I had a million in the bank. I like round figures. I am a round figure.

One game that drives me crazy, is when a guy gives the girl they really like more attention, and then they feel like maybe they pressed too hard, so they back way off and start giving other women attention. I've never pulled this myself.

There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.

I've had encounters with animals that have been really mystical. I've always been really into animals. But the way they appear in the paintings, they come from my mind's eye more than: 'I'm gonna draw a dog now.' It isn't thought out: 'Now I'm gonna draw a bird.' They just appear.

There are ways to pursue political change. In a democracy, it's through the ballot box. There are other ways, and many democracies have many different systems of democracy.

When you play this game twenty years, go to bat ten-thousand times, and get three-thousand hits, do you know what that means? You've gone zero for seven-thousand.

Do not give up your dream because it is apparently not being realized, because you cannot see it coming true. Cling to your vision with all the tenacity you can muster. Keep it bright; do not let the bread-and-butter side of life cloud your ideal or dim it.

In college, I took an acting class as a lark. I was surprised by how much it interested me. It seemed like something I could do my whole life and always try to get better at.
