Here cometh April again, and as far as I can see the world hath more fools in it than ever.
I think I pick more winners than losers.
I'm no different than others with cancer. I just happen to play professional baseball. I'm part of those statistics that cancer has touched as well.
Things that I grew up with stay with me. You start a certain way, and then you spend your whole life trying to find a certain simplicity that you had. It's less about staying in childhood than keeping a certain spirit of seeing things in a different way.
Western Buddhists in many ways are much serious Buddhists than Tibetans are.
Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.
A disk unbeknownst to the director can go to the producer in another city or in another office and that producer can edit behind the director's back much easier than in the old days. Since these dailies are now put on videotape, more kinds of people have access to dailies.
I find it hard in my general life to think further than the week ahead.
I do this a lot with names. I'll start with a name, and then for some reason he won't talk much, or he's older than I pictured him just because of a name I give him. So then I finally get the right name, and I can't shut the guy up. This always happens. There's always a character who gives me trouble that way.
No complaint... is more common than that of a scarcity of money.
Avarice has ruined more souls than extravagance.
My husband gave me a necklace. It's fake. I requested fake. Maybe I'm paranoid, but in this day and age, I don't want something around my neck that's worth more than my head.
When I go train hopping and I look up into the sky, there are always so many more stars than I remember there were.
It is unsafe to take your reader for more of a fool than he is.
I think the most difficult thing that has had to happen in South Africa for the previously disadvantaged communities is they had to reconcile that the oppressor has been enriched and the establishment is now making five or 10 times more profit than they were during the time the economic embargo was on them.
One's work usually occupies more than half of one's waking life. Choosing work that does not bring happiness will lead to a life that is mostly disappointing.
Ultimately, at the end of it, it's just trying to get into that space where you feel like you're hitting the right thing and you're making music. And it feels intuitive rather than being counterintuitive.
What I love about Brooklyn is there are more wonderful little joints than anywhere.
I couldn't have left my career as an actor on a better note than to have done a cameo in the Lost In Space movie. Doing this part is the highlight of my career. What a way to leave the profession!
Our unconscious is not more animal than our conscious, it is often even more human.
Tom Cruise, he's a lot more famous than me.
I think the play actually became bigger than me. No pun intended.
It cannot be assumed that equity was following common law whenever they agreed, any more than the converse.
About two-thirds of bachelor's degree holders borrow to go to school, and on average they're graduating with more than $26,000 in debt.
I'd rather get up early and go out and do something than stay up late and screw up my body.
Luckier than one's neighbor, but still not happy.
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
This is an area where North Carolina does excel. I have known more colorful North Carolina political figures than I have colorless ones.
Families who get evicted tend to live in worse housing than they did before, and they live in neighborhoods with higher poverty rates and higher crime rates than they did before.
I hate to lose more than I love winning, and I'm coming to Dallas to win a Super Bowl.
It is better to be quotable than to be honest.
I like to take people you wouldn't really think people would write novels about: an aqueduct engineer, a code-breaker, a hedge-fund manager. It's in those sorts of lives that I find more fascination than in a CIA operative or a Marine or something like that.
Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.
One of the aims of higher education is to broaden perspectives, and what better way than by a home stay in a really different country, like Bangladesh or Senegal? Time abroad also leaves one more aware of the complex prism of suspicion through which the United States is often viewed.
If I was 14 or 15 again, I would do the same thing. I've done everything. I think I've accomplished more than I had in mind.
Nothing is more capable of troubling our reason, and consuming our health, than secret notions of jealousy in solitude.
