At town meetings, you can see the shy folks, the ones who have trouble sounding off in public, leaning against the back wall or bending over their knitting. On talk radio, those people are invisible, but they're there. It's a mistake to think that th...
Our power knows no limits, yet we cannot find food for a starving child, or a home for a refugee. Our knowledge is without measure and we build the weapons that will destroy us. We live on the edge of ourselves, terrified of the darkness within. We h...
Nicky Santoro: Now, notice how in the count room nobody ever seems to see anything. Somehow, somebody's always lookin' the other way. Now, look at these guys. They look busy, right? They're countin' money. Who wants to bother them? I mean, God forbid...
Catwoman: I had no choice. I needed a way to keep them from killing me. Batman: You just made a serious mistake. Bane: Not as serious as yours, I fear... Batman: Bane Bane: Let us not stand on ceremony, Mr. Wayne. [Catwoman appears shocked]
[as the trolls are roasting half a dozen of the dwarves on a spit over a fire] Bilbo Baggins: Wait, wait! You are making a terrible mistake! Bert Troll: Eh? Dori: You can't reason with them, they're half-wits! Bofur: Half-wits? What does that make us...
[At the altar, just before Peter is married] Peter: No surprises? Mark: No surprises. Peter: Not like the stag night? Mark: Unlike the stag night. Peter: Do you admit the Brazilian prostitutes were a mistake? Mark: I do. Peter: And it would have been...
Bud White: I'd like to see you again. Lynn Bracken: Are you asking me for a date, or an appointment? Bud White: ...I don't know. Lynn Bracken: Well, if you're asking me for a date, I should know your first name. Bud White: [embarrassed] Forget I aske...
Carl Van Loon: Have you been talking to anyone? Eddie Morra: No, I haven't been talking to anybody, Carl. I'm not stupid. Carl Van Loon: I know you're not stupid, Eddie, but don't make the classic smart person's mistake thinking no one's smarter than...
Doyle Lonnegan: I put it all on Lucky Dan; half a million dollars to win. Kid Twist: To win? I said *place*! "Place it on Lucky D-" That horse is gonna run second! Doyle Lonnegan: [There is a pause, and Lonnegan runs horrified to the betting booth] T...
I think it's a mistake to work on success in career. I've worked on my passions obsessively. How can I say what I want to say more precisely than the last time I said it? Success is such an elusive concept. When you work for it, I think you get it in...
[Gaston is face down in a mud wallow after Belle turns down his marriage proposal] Lefou: So, how did it go? Gaston: [grabs Lefou] I'll have Belle for my wife! Make no mistake about *that*! [throws Lefou in the mud] Lefou: [to the pig] Touchy! [the p...
I'm afraid of time... I mean, I'm afraid of not having enough time. Not enough time to understand people, how they really are, or to be understood myself. I'm afraid of the quick judgements or mistakes everybody makes. You can't fix them without time...
It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty. To the contrary, I believe it would be possible to rob even a healthy beast of prey of its voraciousness, if it w...
Last Friday night, I Twitted a photograph of myself that I intended to send as a direct message as part of a joke to a woman in Seattle. Once I realized I posted to Twitter I panicked, I took it down and said that I had been hacked. I then continued ...
being a good mother does not mean being perfect every single moment. we screw up. we get mad, we drink too much, eat too much, yell too much. a good mother learns from her mistakes and does what she can to not let them happen over and over.
My life, my soul is anything but finished hence it is not perfect. Only masterpieces are finished and could be considered perfect. So unless you are a "David" or a "Requiem" or perhaps a "Mona Lisa" you and I are not perfect. We'll be prone to errors...

I know that societies often have killed people who have helped to change those societies. And if I can die having brought any light, having exposed any meaningful truth that will help destroy the racist cancer that is malignant in the body of America...

Don’t focus on the mishaps; consider the pleasures instead.
