Quote by Edward Coke

Satyajit Ray quotes

At the age when Bengali youth almost inevitably writes poetry, I was listening to European classical music.

The director is the only person who knows what the film is about.

There is a ban on Indian films in Pakistan, so that's half of our market gone.

I wouldn't mind taking a rest for three or four months, but I have to keep on making films for the sake of my crew, who just wait for the next film because they're not on a fixed salary.

Ever since Two Daughters I've been composing my own music.

Top 5 quotes by Eric Cantona

We knew that you don't get to be world champions without a struggle.

In football you have an adversary; in cinema that adversary is yourself.

I started beach football in Monte Carlo when I retired from football in 1997. I liked the game very much.

Sometimes you get submerged by emotion. I think it's very important to express it - which doesn't necessarily mean hitting someone.

We won the European Championship last September and now the world title. That is some year for French beach soccer! Now comes the hard part. We have to keep improving and that's difficult because it's tough to do better than winning a world title.

Quotes by Edward Coke

We should speak as the populace but think as the learned.

One threatens the innocent who spares the guilty.

Michelangelo quotes

I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.

Lord, let me always desire more then I think I can do.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

Everything hurts.

Genius is eternal patience.

Top 5 quotes by Mother Teresa

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

Jesus taught us how to forgive out of love, how to forget out of humility. So let us examine our hearts and see if there is any unforgiven hurt - any unforgotten bitterness! It is easy to love those who are far away. It isn't always easy to love those who are right next to us. It is easier to offer food to the hungry than to answer the lonely suffering of someone who lacks love right in one's own family. The world today is upside down because there is so very little love in the home, and in family life. We have no time for each other. Everybody is in such a terrible rush, and so anxious ... and in the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world.

Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

Top 5 quotes by Isabelle Adjani

One believes that if nothing happens, one disappears. That is not true.

One can not love without opening oneself, and opening oneself, that's taking the risk of suffering. One does not have control.

To change, that is the most difficult thing to accomplish.

I do not want to work to correspond to an image.

I have no fear of being less beautiful, I've always been afraid of not being beautiful.

Famous quote by Charlie Lau

There are two theories on hitting the knuckleball. Unfortunately, neither of them work.

Top 5 quotes by Ray Davies

I was an art student at the time, like thousands of others.

No one can penetrate me. They only see what's in their own fancy, always.

What I try to do probably doesn't come out. What I've worked out what I do - I might not be right - is to do something very personal, and then suddenly I look at it, up in the air. I blow it up and look at it and then I come down again - a better man.

I got that idea from being in India. I always like the chanting.

I think that songwriting changed when groups started spending more time in the studio.

Harvey Fierstein quotes

Beware of anyone who says they know. Trust me, they don't, or they wouldn't have to say they did.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Queen Victoria quotes

I would venture to warn against too great intimacy with artists as it is very seductive and a little dangerous.

A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.

An ugly baby is a very nasty object - and the prettiest is frightful.

The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights'. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot contain herself.

When I think of a merry, happy, free young girl - and look at the ailing, aching state a young wife generally is doomed to - which you can't deny is the penalty of marriage.

Quote by Russell Long

Tax reform means, 'Don't tax you, don't tax me. Tax that fellow behind the tree.'

Janis Ian quotes

I've always been an avid reader. If I don't have a book in the car, I'll stop and pick one up just to have something to read. I don't even remember learning to read.

At the end of the day, all you can hope for is to go on. The older I get, the more I realize that just keeping on keeping on is what life's all about.

Once you're halfway home, you know that you can probably get the rest of the way there.

I learned the truth at seventeen, That love was meant for beauty queens, And high school girls with clear skinned smiles, Who married young and then retired.

Going off the road just leaves me more time to be a writer.

Quotes by Ken Calvert

The measure would set criminal penalties, the same as those that would apply if harm or death happened to the pregnant woman, for those who harm a fetus.

The Child Custody Protection Act makes it a federal crime to transport a minor across state lines for the purpose of obtaining an abortion.

The bill would ban human cloning, and any attempts at human cloning, for both reproductive purposes and medical research. Also forbidden is the importing of cloned embryos or products made from them.

In addition the bill would expand an existing law conscience clause that protects physician training programs that refuse to provide training for abortion procedures.

Casey Affleck quotes

I didn't have to audition. That's common, but it had never happened to me before. Normally, I hate auditioning. I need to stew and think... let the character develop and grow inside me.

I tricked myself into doing this movie.

When I like someone a lot, I get scared that I'll let them down. My fear of sucking is worst when I feel like someone thinks I'm good.

I moved out to LA, got an agent, started auditioning. I didn't know anything about how it worked. And since I was really bad, luckily, I didn't get any of those parts.

In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.
