He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.
Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved — loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl to be found in the dark folds of life.
Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.
Reason is intelligence taking exercise. Imagination is intelligence with an erection.
A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is visible labor and there is invisible labor.
The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible; for the fainthearted, it is unknown; but for the valiant, it is ideal.
The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God.

My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky.
People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.
Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea… and ideas are bulletproof.
Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell.
Artists use lies to tell the truth. Yes, I created a lie. But because you believed it, you found something true about yourself.
Remember, remember the fifth of November of gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.
The past can’t hurt you anymore. Not unless you let it. They made you into a victim, Evey. They made you into a statistic. But, that’s not the real you. That’s not who you are inside.
It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses, and apologized to no one.
Our masters have not heard the people’s voice for generations and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.
We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another’s vantage point, as if new, it may still take the breath away.

If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.
Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.
Whatever it is you’re seeking won’t come in the form you’re expecting.
Nobody likes being alone that much. I don’t go out of my way to make friends, that’s all. It just leads to disappointment.
No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.
But I didn’t understand then. That I could hurt somebody so badly she would never recover. That a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair.
I want you always to remember me. Will you remember that I existed, and that I stood next to you here like this?
I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it — to be fed so much love I couldn’t take any more. Just once.
Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.
If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there’s salvation in life. Even if you can’t get together with that person.

I like the ephemeral thing about theatre, every performance is like a ghost – it’s there and then it’s gone.
We can’t escape the shadow, so the best thing we can do is notice the light and be open to it.
I tend to head for what’s amusing because a lot of things aren’t happy. But usually you can find a funny side to practically anything.
There is a kind of invisible thread between the actor and the audience, and when it’s there it’s stunning, and there is nothing to match that.
It’s true I don’t tolerate fools but then they don’t tolerate me, so I am spiky. Maybe that’s why I’m quite good at playing spiky elderly ladies.

I’ve been the luckiest man in the world because I’ve had friends, and to have the right friends is everything: people you can depend on, people who tell you the truth if you ask something.
I have always included minority characters in my stories, often as heroes. We live in a diverse society—in fact, a diverse world, and we must learn to live in peace and with respect for each other.
If I’m half as good as everybody said I am, I’m far too good to be wasting time with ordinary people. But I seem to be spending my life with ordinary people, who are the best people in the world.
All I thought about when I wrote my stories was, ‘I hope that these comic books would sell so I can keep my job and continue to pay the rent.’ Never in a million years could I have imagined that it would turn into what it has evolved into nowadays.
The only advice anybody can give is if you want to be a writer, keep writing. And read all you can, read everything.

I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you’re prepared for it.
So you never know who you touch. You never know how or when you’ll have an impact, or how important your example can be to someone else.
The chances you take, the people you meet, the people you love, the faith that you have. That’s what’s going to define you.
At the end of the day, it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished. It’s about what you’ve done with those accomplishments. It’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.
If I am a cup maker, I’m interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup, not what people think about it.

Almost seventy years later I remember clearly how the magic of translating the words in books into images enriched my life, breaking the barriers of time and space.
Memory is a snare, pure and simple; it alters, it subtly rearranges the past to fit the present.

If the Old Testament were a reliable guide in the matter of capital punishment, half the people in the United States would have to be killed tomorrow.

Asthma doesn’t seem to bother me any more unless I’m around cigars or dogs. The thing that would bother me most would be a dog smoking a cigar.
If you pray for rain long enough, it eventually does fall. If you pray for floodwaters to abate, they eventually do. The same happens in the absence of prayers.
