There is nothing beyond God, and the sense enjoyments are simply something through which we are passing now in the hope of getting better things.
If you want me just whistle. You know how to whistle don't you? Just put your lips together and blow.
Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.
Very few people want to hear the truth. Bogie was like that, my mother was like that, and I'm like that. I believe in the truth, and I believe in saying what you think. Why not? Do you have to go around whispering all the time or playing a game with people? I just don't believe in that. So I'm not the most adored person on the face of the earth.
Life is amazing, life is odd. Life is not what you expected it to be. Things happen. . . Growing up takes longer than you think.
Yes, I saw Twilight - my granddaughter made me watch it, she said it was the greatest vampire film ever. After the 'film' was over I wanted to smack her across her head with my shoe, but I do not want a (tell-all) book called Grannie Dearest written on me when I die. So instead I gave her a DVD of Murnau's 1922 masterpiece Nosferatu and told her, 'Now that's a vampire film!' And that goes for all of you! Watch Nosferatu instead!

Don't be a perfectionist, because perfectionists often spend too much time on little differences at the margins at the expense of other big, important things. Be an effective imperfectionist. Solutions that broadly work well (e. g. , how people should contact each other in the event of crises) are generally better than highly specialized solutions (e. g. , how each person should contact each other in the event of every conceivable crisis).
Sometimes when I hear criticism of my husband, I want to come out of my seat and clock somebody. But you learn to take a deep breath.
