– William James
More quotes by William James
The best advice my dad ever gave me is that acting is believing. Acting is not acting. It isn't putting on a face and dancing around in a mask. It's believing that you are that character and playing him as if it were a normal day in the life of that character.

More quotes by Karolina Kurkova
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.
– Samuel Smiles
More quotes by Samuel Smiles
The assumption that nature is all there is, and that nature has been governed by the same rules at all times and places, makes it possible for natural science to be confident that it can explain such things as how life began.
– Phillip E. Johnson

– Christopher Hitchens
More quotes by Christopher Hitchens

– Bill Gates
More quotes by Bill Gates

– Sting
More quotes by Sting
The ability to take pleasure in one's life is a skill and is a kind of intelligence. So intelligence is a hard thing to evaluate and it manifests itself in so many different ways. I do think the ability to know how to live a life and not be miserable is a sign of that.
– Todd Solondz
More quotes by Todd Solondz

– Zakk Wylde
More quotes by Zakk Wylde
That's what the Romney plan is all about, how to get jobs created, how to get this debt and deficit under control, how to revive small businesses so we can create jobs, and how to bring growth and opportunity to society instead of this class warfare, instead of speaking to people like they're stuck in some class or station in life.
– Paul Ryan
More quotes by Paul Ryan

– Clyde Tombaugh
More quotes by Clyde Tombaugh

– Walter Pater
More quotes by Walter Pater
That person has to be accountable for himself. I think that's what we have to do in society today is to be accountable for yourself. I think we have the tendency to always want to live someone else's life.
– Herschel Walker

That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way.
– Doris Lessing
More quotes by Doris Lessing
That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life.
– Amelia Barr
More quotes by Amelia Barr
That image of the countryside being a threatening place still exists. People continue to resist the challenge of learning about aspects of life they don't understand.

Tennis has had a very positive impact on my life.
– Gabriela Sabatini
More quotes by Gabriela Sabatini
Tennis is all about mental toughness, and you have to keep your head in the game.

Taking time out with family and friends helps to maintain the work-life balance everyone needs.
– Samantha Stosur
More quotes by Samantha Stosur
Ten thousand pounds is the legal value of a negligently taken life, of a child or a parent. A cold and somewhat mean-spirited calculation: you would do better if you slipped on a paving-stone and broke a front tooth.
– Nina Bawden
More quotes by Nina Bawden
Television is much better crafted today then in the 70s. The content is less positive but I'm one of those that feel our entertainment reflects our world, it's not a driver - art imitates life.
– Christopher Knight
More quotes by Christopher Knight
Teen movies often have an unspoken underlying premise in which high school is seen as less serious than the adult world. But when your head is encased in that microcosm it's the most serious time of your life.
– Rian Johnson
More quotes by Rian Johnson

– Warren G. Bennis
More quotes by Warren G. Bennis
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

– George Whitefield
More quotes by George Whitefield

– Jean Arp
More quotes by Jean Arp
Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success, and in some ways it's better to have failure at the beginning of your career, or your life.
– Michael Crawford
More quotes by Michael Crawford
Sometimes when we weep in the movies we weep for ourselves or for a life unlived. Or we even go to the movies because we want to resist the emotion that's there in front of us. I think there is always a catharsis that I look for and that makes the movie experience worthwhile.
– Edward Zwick

– Elizabeth Wurtzel
More quotes by Elizabeth Wurtzel

– Marilyn Monroe
More quotes by Marilyn Monroe
Sometimes I have these fantasies of just moving to a foreign country and coming back with a full head of hair. Or not even come back! Make a new life there with hair... Change my name, just see what happens.

– Jenna Fischer
More quotes by Jenna Fischer
Sometimes a scene may be about one thing, and it may end up still being about that, but the emotionality of it comes from somewhere else, or the humor of it comes from somewhere else, and it gives it that real-life quality.

– Jean Anouilh
More quotes by Jean Anouilh

More quotes by George J. Mitchell
So here is one of my theories on happiness: we cannot know if we have lived a truly happy life until the very end.

When he died, I felt like I had lost a limb.
