The stars have not dealt me the worst they could do: My pleasures are plenty, my troubles are two. But oh, my two troubles they reave me of rest, The brains in my head and the heart in my breast. Oh, grant me the ease that is granted so free, The bir...
Oh, gentlemen, perhaps I really regard myself as an intelligent man only because throughout my entire life I've never been able to start or finish anything. Granted, granted I'm a babbler, a harmless, irksome babbler, as we all are. But what's to be ...
What I'm willing to admit is that my mind, as it serves my heart, becomes a very creative place, capable of surprising ingenuity and masterful reframes. And in this incredibly creative place, my world works for me, not against me.

Dr. Alan Grant: [looking at a dinosaur herd] Tim. Tim, can you tell me what they are? Tim: They're, Gal... uh... uh, Galli... uh, Gallimimus. Lex: Are those... meat-eating... uh, meatasauruses? Dr. Alan Grant: [the dinosaurs change direction] The whe...
Aunt Flo: Martha, where's Bart and Cole? Aunt Martha: Oh, they're off doing some volunteer work picking up trash off the streets. Kate Grant: It's community service; for Bart's rape. Aunt Martha: Sexual assault! Kate Grant: What's the difference? Aun...
Tyrell: We began to recognize in them a strange obsession. After all, they are emotionally inexperienced, with only a few years in which to store up the experiences which you and I take for granted. If we gift them with a past, we create a cushion or...
I don't ever take anything for granted.

I now walk into the wild.
I don't take a scene or word for granted.

I have a Father's Day every day.
You just have to hope that they'll grant you an interview.
