Katy: I’m oooold.  The highlight of my day has been shopping for wool to make patterns for scarves.

Richard: I’m old too,  but I still lust after 18 year olds. You lust after a big cup of tea, slippers and a warm blanket.

I always have the right answer ten minutes after the fact.  If I could live my life by email, it’d be perfect.

The people to fear are not those who disagree with you, but those who disagree with you and are too cowardly to let you know.
Napoleon Bonaparte

And I think both the left and the right should celebrate people who have different opinions, and disagree with them, and argue with them, and differ with them, but don’t just try to shut them up.
Roger Ebert

If you have learned how to disagree without being disagreeable, then you have discovered the secrete of getting along – whether it be business, family relations, or life itself.
Bernard Meltzer

Scientists disagree among themselves but they never fight over their disagreements. They argue about evidence or go out and seek new evidence. Much the same is true of philosophers, historians and literary critics.
Richard Dawkins

A fundamentalist can’t bring himself or herself to negotiate with people who disagree with them because the negotiating process itself is an indication of implied equality.
Jimmy Carter

I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect.
Edward Gibbon

Don’t Take Anything Personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
Miguel Angel Ruiz

Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
Victor Hugo

The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.
Leonardo da Vinci

Don’t let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you’re crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you’re lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you’re greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn’t understand.
Robert G. Allen

Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts.
E. B. White

There are two kinds of fools: those who can’t change their opinions and those who won’t.
Josh Billings

We meet aliens every day who have something to give us. They come in the form of people with different opinions.
William Shatner

No matter what it is, if you get 10 people in the business talking about something, you get 10 different opinions, but you know, they’re amazingly well informed.
James Woods

I wonder if on a really cold day you stood in front of a windows and farted, a small steam patch would appear.

If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.

To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

“So, on bad days I may write about the vulnerability that accompanies illness. On good days, I may wax ecstatic about a movie so good it transports me beyond illness.”

… Roger Joseph Ebert (1942-2013)
