Hope,... which whispered from Pandora's box after all the other plagues and sorrows had escaped, is the best and last of all things. Without it, there is only time. And time pushes at our backs like a centrifuge, forcing outward and away, until it nu...
We live by the golden rule “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. That phrase, unfortunately, falls short of our true ability to love and be loved. I think the best thing I can expect of any society is for its citizens to examine th...
Selkie women are the women you don’t understand. They are the women who know that they belong to another tribe, in another element. And so they seem as though they don’t belong in yours – and they don’t. They are the women who live by other r...
Magic?" What did magic have to do with breaking into someone's store and stealing their stuff? "Don't you get it?" Peter said. "You're free now. You don't have to live by their rules anymore." Peter pointed into the inky blackness of the basement. "T...
The Perfect Person's Rule of Life: The perfect person does not only try to avoid evil. Nor does he do good for fear of punishment, still less in order to qualify for the hope of a promised reward. The perfect person does good through love. His action...
It would be well to realize that the talk of ‘humane methods of warfare’, of the ‘rules of civilized warfare’, and all such homage to the finer sentiments of the race are hypocritical and unreal, and only intended for the consumption of stay-...
Mike Engel: [kidnapped by the Joker, Engel is reading a prepared statement] "I'm Mike Engel for Gotham Tonight. What does it take to make you people join in? You failed to kill the lawyer. I've got to get you off the bench..." The Joker: Bench... Mik...
Warden: If you disobey the rules of society, they send you to prison; if you disobey the rules of the prison, they send you to US. Alcatraz is not like any other prison in the United States. Here, every inmate is confined ALONE... to an individual ce...
Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to rules.
Rules help us live our lives when we lose the will to do it on our own
That's life. Life is the ultimate game, and its rules were made to be broken
...whose number one rule in life is: ignore all the ordinary people.
Divide and rule, the politician cries; Unite and lead, is watchword of the wise.
You don’t always have to follow the rules. You have to stand for what you believe.
So, to sum up my room-clearing generalizations, men are in comedy to break rules.
Law not served by power is an illusion; but power not ruled by law is a menace which our nuclear age cannot afford.
I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.
I have very long, wild hair, a suntan and wear knee high boots and ignore all the rules about what you should or shouldn't wear at whatever age.
Age is no issue to me. I think 50 is the new 30 and 70 is the new 50. There are no rules that say you have to dress a certain way or be a certain way.
Being alone is scarier than any boogey man and the reason why I don't choose to see Horror movies as a rule.
The rule in the art world is: you cater to the masses or you kowtow to the elite; you can't have both.
