Who will not judge him worthy to be robbed. That sets his doors wide open to a thief, and shows the felon where his treasure lies? ~Ben Jonson

For my entire career, I wanted to be a director. When I was in the theater, it was very difficult to get directing jobs, and I fell into the acting by default. I got in the habit of accepting whatever came my way. Not things that I disagreed with, though. It's not like I had aspirations, well, I did have aspirations to play Hamlet, which I ended up doing. ~James Cromwell

"Alien" asked ground-breaking questions about eco-politics and female empowerment. "The Matrix" delved deeper into the concept of perception versus reality than perhaps any other film I know. But for some reason, we tend not to remember the significance of their writing. ~Jason Reitman

I was asked the other day if I would be interested in the Nobel Prize, but I think that for me it would be an absolute catastrophe.

The only thing I really regret in life is not having a daughter. ~Gabriel Garcia Marquez

#quotes #kenneth-scott-latourette #christianity #society

As a matter of selective necessity, man is an agent. He is, in his own apprehension, a centre of unfolding impulsive activity; "teleological activity." He is an agent seeking in every act the accomplishment of some concrete, objective, impersonal end. By force of being such an agent, he is possessed of a taste for effective work, and a distaste for futile effort. ~Thorstein Veblen

The road to freedom lies not through mysteries or occult performances, but through the intelligent use of natural forces and laws. ~Ernest Holmes

I'm an untrained musician. Untrained musicians don't really have any music theory, they don't have a lot of rules. We break the rules, but it's mostly because we don't know what the rules are. It's easy for us to go to certain places, so I'm not surprised that a lot of people were amused by my songwriting style. ~Frank Black
