Everyone has choices to make; no one has the right to take those choices away from us. Not even out of love..
Up until college age I was using the typical little-boy dummy that sits on the knee and makes woodpecker jokes. My first original character didn't happen until later, and that was Jose the Jalapeno on a Stick.
There is a destiny which makes us brothers; none goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own.
The fact that the apes exist and that we can study them is extremely important and makes us reflect on ourselves and our human nature. In that sense alone, you need to protect the apes.
We are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power... the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.
The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
There's good art and there's bad art. A lot of action films are bad art, but Paul Greengrass showed us with the Bourne films that it's possible to make an action film with a political, social conscience.
It's fun having songs about parties and gigolos, but I really wanted to use my music as a form of art. Art is supposed to spark conversation and make people think, and I wanted to do that with this song.
A chef should make a dish using only my words as ingredients. My words will taste great in your mouth.
Is there ever a time you’re not an arrogant bastard?” “Is there ever a time you’re not a difficult bitch?” “No.” “Then I guess that makes us perfectly matched, now doesn’t it?
It's our very capacity for self-consciousness that makes us self-destructive!
People make mistakes all the time –some of us just are in more of a position to leave an impact when we do.
Ah, lust. It makes us forget anything we want to. The greatest relaxant, the greatest stimulant.
Everybody sins, Francis. The terrible thing is that we love our sins. We love the thing that makes us evil.
Sin makes us moral quadriplegics.
Game shows are designed to make us feel better about the random, useless facts that are all we have left of our education.
As it stands, our patrols and bases are just targets, and the more firepower we use, the more enemies we make.
If you see someone being bullied, make it stop. Why is that so hard for us to do?
We are not given a good life or a bad life. We are given a life. It's up to us to make it good or bad.
None of us gets to choose how we're born, it's what we make of ourselves afterwards.
It's not the having of the gift that makes the difference in life here or in another place. It's how we use that gift that shows the true heart. ~ Acronis
