#quotes #jack-nicholson #beer

We get stuck in old thought and behavior patterns that may have been effective when we were twelve months or twelve years old, but now only serve to hold us back. And, while those around us may have no problem correcting our minor flaws, they let the big ones slide, because it would mean attacking who we are. ~Neil Strauss

#quotes #linda-gray #acting

Authors are far closer to the truths enfolded in mystery than ordinary people, because of that very audacity of imagination which irritates their plodding critics. As only those who dare to make mistakes succeed greatly, only those who shake free the wings of their imagination brush, once in a way, the secrets of the great pale world. If such writers go wrong, it is not for the mere brains to tell them so ~Gertrude Atherton
#quotes #gertrude-atherton #writing #reality

You must remember the value that you add to others and not just what others have added to you. That's how we build self-worth, which, in my opinion, is just as important as net worth. ~Suze Orman
#quotes #suze-orman #self #helping

#quotes #robert-zemeckis #art #thinking

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence. ~Plato
#quotes #plato #family #parenting #children

#quotes #joseph-addison #polyphemus

Law is whatever is boldly asserted and plausibly maintained. ~Aaron Burr
#quotes #aaron-burr #law #government

As a writer, I demand the right to write any character in the world that I want to write. I demand the right to be them, I demand the right to think them and I demand the right to tell the truth as I see they are. ~Quentin Tarantino
#quotes #quentin-tarantino #writing #character

No brilliance is needed in the law. Nothing but common sense, and relatively clean finger nails. ~John Mortimer

Plaid is always cute and always will be. But only on the bottom. At the top, it makes you look like a farmer. ~Jen Lancaster

Nakata is empty inside. Do you know what it means to be completely empty? Being empty is like a vacant house. An unlocked, vacant house. Anybody can come in, anytime they want. That is what scares me the most. ~Haruki Murakami
