But reason has no power against feeling, and feeling older than history is no light matter.
History is malleable. A new cache of diaries can shed new light, and archeological evidence can challenge our popular assumptions.
You don't change minds in Washington with sweet reason. You do it to the white light of public opinion.
When I was a child, I had wax in my ears. Dad didn't take me to the doctor, he used me as a night light.
Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever.

With my plays, when the lights go down, at least the audience isn't thinking, 'Oh, God, two more hours of this.'
In the beginning there was nothing and God said 'Let there be light', and there was still nothing but everybody could see it.

An actor's popularity is fleeting. His success has the life expectancy of a small boy who is about to look into a gas tank with a lighted match.
In real life, people don't try to live dramatically, people try to live in a light way. People try to laugh.
