"It is not good for one's morals..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Like strange mechanical grotesques,Making fantastic arabesques,The shadows raced across the blind.”

“Cats are put on earth to remind us that not everything has a purpose.”

“The sure way of knowing nothing about life is to try to make oneself useful.”

“Acting, it's not my life, my children and my family, that's life. I'll get up every morning, God willing, for that.”

“[Saniyya Sidney] was very serious about her work and her craft, and she wanted to be good, and she wanted to work on it. So I said, "Ok." It was as simple as that. She was just right. She just has it.”

“I think [music and acting], they are connected, all that stuff. It's your emotional self, is pretty much how you do it, I think, from whatever place you do it, whether you're acting or you're singing.”

“But that's always the way; it don't make no difference whether you do right or wrong, a person's conscience ain't got no sense, and just goes for him anyway. If I had a yaller dog that didn't know no more than a person's conscience does I would pison him. It takes up more room than all the rest of a person's insides, and yet ain't no good, nohow.”

“We have heard much about the poetry of mathematics, but very little of it has as yet been sung. The ancients had a juster notion of their poetic value than we. The most distinct and beautiful statements of any truth must take at last the mathematical form. We might so simplify the rules of moral philosophy, as well as of arithmetic, that one formula would express them both.”

“If I were over full of pity for the cow, I should sacrifice my life to save her but not take my brother's.”
