Like no matter what happens, this would be the ultimate, they can make something positive happen.
Time has driven out sex and money as the central issues. Now if it could only drive out the issue of power we would be somewhere!
God would be the strangest thing to exist.
My thoughts went round and round and it occurred to me that if I ever wrote a novel it would be of the 'stream of consciousness' type and deal with an hour in the life of a woman at the sink.
How many things would be different in everyone’s surroundings if we hadn’t lived? How a good word many have encouraged some fellow and did something to him that he did it differently and better than he would otherwise. And through him somebody else was saved. How much we contribute to each other, how powerful we each are-and don’t know it.
I think living to be one hundred would be great, but living to fifty twice would be so much better.
They looked at each other. They weren't thinking anymore. The time for that had come and gone. Smashed smiles lay ahead of them. But that would be later. Lay Ter.
If they [the dead] should speak, it would be found that in matters of opinion no departed person was exactly what he had passed for in life. They would realise, deep down, that they, and whole nations along with them, are not really what they seem to be-and never can be.
When I come up with something that I feel like people will connect with that makes me happy because I know that it would be something that would just go beyond me.
I think it would be ridiculous to work with Tom Hardy. I hear some crazy things about him, and he's also really good.
I took some classes in sign language when I was in my early teens because I was told that I would be completely deaf very early. But I never really wanted to learn.
I never thought my face would be on the cover of a Red Bull Six Pack.
. . . most of the time we were alone and mixing up our souls ever more and ever more till it would be terribly hard to say good-by.
That would be getting up at 5 am. . . I don't understand why film's shoot such brutal hours. I think it'd be worth it to not be so strictly cost-effective and have an 8 hour day. The film's would benefit in the end.
One of my favorite tricks was taking a page and having the first student translate it from English into whatever language he or she was working on, and the next one would translate it back into English and then into the foreign language, and we'd go around the room and compare the two English versions at the end, and it would be amazing how much survived.
It's like he would take a photograph of Sam, and the photograph would be beautiful. And he would think that the reason the photograph was beautiful was because of how he took it. If I took it, I would know that the only reason it's beautiful is because of Sam.
Dreams are illusions, and we can't let go of them because we would be dead.
Look at Michelle Pfeiffer: My God, she's 50 years old, but she is still so sexy. If I were into women, I would be totally into her.
What's an expert? I read somewhere, that the more a man knows, the more he knows, he doesn't know. So I suppose one definition of an expert would be someone who doesn't admit out loud that he knows enough about a subject to know he doesn't really know how much.
My son is now fourteen, and from the moment he was born, I understood that forevermore my heart would be walking around outside my body.
