I don't use Twitter. I'm a serious person. ~Paolo Sorrentino
#quotes #paolo-sorrentino #twitter

Procrastination is the thief of time; year after year it steals, till all are fled, and to the mercies of a moment leaves the vast concerns of an eternal state. At thirty, man suspects himself a fool; knows it at forty, and reforms his plan; at fifty chides his infamous delay, pushes his prudent purpose to resolve; in all the magnanimity of thought, resolves, and re-resolves, then dies the same. ~Edward Young

The year I was born, 1956, was the peak year for babies being born, and there are more people essentially our age than anybody else. We could crush these new generations if we decided to.

Men are like the stars; some generate their own light while others reflect the brilliance they receive. ~Jose Marti

It's hard to say that my twenties were the most miserable time in my life or that my first wife drove me crazy or that I hated the job that I had. You can say all of those things. But for the most part, people manage to have a good time when they're that age. ~Frank Stella

I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans... have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life. ~Alan Ball

A cat bitten once by a snake dreads even rope. ~Arab Proverb

If you want to know how much I miss you, try to catch rain drops. The ones you catch is how much you miss me, and the ones you miss is how much I miss you.

In many ways, theatre is more rewarding for a writer. I used to think it was like painting a wall - that when the play is finished, it's done; but now I realise it's more like gardening; you plant the thing, then you have to constantly tend it. You're part of a thing that's living. ~Lee Hall

I felt as if I had attended the funeral of someone I didn't know. ~Pauline Kael

The term "genre" eventually becomes pejorative because you're referring to something that's so codified and ritualised that it ceases to have the power and meaning it had when it first started. ~Christopher Nolan
#quotes #christopher-nolan

That's the fun thing about making movies is that you get to do stuff. You get to be things, say things that you're not, kind of walk in someone else's shoes and play dress up and make believe. It's pretty cool. ~Mark Webber

If you chase two rabbits, you catch none. ~Confucius
#quotes #confucius

I keep my house tidy, because then I can think clearly. I feel the same about myself. Presenting yourself well is a working-class thing; my dad was a printer, but he wore a tie most days. The ungroomed look belongs more to the middle classes. ~Gary Kemp

You will always be lucky if you know how to make friends with strange cats. ~Proverb

If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one. ~Russian Proverb

Good people have always been at the heart of the Virgin business, and that is largely because we have tried to keep our business small, and our management teams tight-knit. I feel that small, compact companies, are better run. That is partly because people feel more connected in small companies. ~Richard Branson
#quotes #richard-branson #business

As I've written before, China's ability to be the assembly line to the world wasn't where its role in the global economy ended; it was where it began. An ability to make products cheaper than anywhere else gave way to an ability to make high end products more nimbly than anywhere else. ~Sarah Lacy

To learn a belief without the belief is to sing a song without the tune. ~Ursula K. Le Guin

A lot of people are simply interested in exploring their own spirituality, their own values, who they are, whether they're happy where they are. ~James Redfield
