True celebration should come from your life, in your life. And true celebration cannot be according to the calendar, that on the first of November you will celebrate. Strange, the whole year you are miserable and on the first of November suddenly you come out of misery, dancing. Either, the misery is false, or the first of November is false; both cannot be true. And once the first of November has gone, you are back in your dark hole, everybody in his misery, everybody in his anxiety. ~Rajneesh

There is nothing in our experience, however trivial, worldly, or even evil, which cannot be thought about christianly. ~Harry Blamires

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

My filmmaking education consisted of finding out what filmmakers I liked were watching, then seeing those films. I learned the technical stuff from books and magazines, and with the new technology you can watch entire movies accompanied by audio commentary from the director. You can learn more from John Sturges' audio track on the "Bad Day at Black Rock" laserdisc than you can in 20 years of film school. Film school is a complete con, because the information is there if you want it. ~Paul Thomas Anderson

Hardest job in America is being a single mom. There are a lot of them and a lot of them in Baltimore and I think that they absolutely do their best. They can't keep continue to do their best if businesses flee the city. ~Dana Perino

It is true that traditional Christianity is losing some of its appeal among Americans, but that is a religious, not political, matter. It is worth remembering that the Jeffersonian "wall of separation" between church and state has always been intended to protect the church from the state as much as the state from the church. ~Jon Meacham

I can't say I'm one way or the other because I've honestly fallen in love with a man and I've honestly fallen in love with a woman. I don't know how you label that, it's just how it is. ~Evan Rachel Wood
