Andrew Davidson

I think we all suffer from guilt at some point in our lives, but for the most part I never really regret, and I try to always remain positive. Yes, I think that those issues are very interesting to play in a character, and they're prominent issues in life, and I think people can relate to them.

Soren Kierkegaard

I don't see how any African-American, with any inkling of history, can say that you don't have the right to live your life how you want to live your life. No one should be telling you who you should love, no one should be telling you who you should be spending the rest of your life with. When we start talking about equality, and everybody being treated equally, I don't want to know an African-American who will say everybody doesn't deserve equality.
Michael Irvin

Gaston Bachelard

Emil Cioran

Jill Lepore
-
The darkest hour in any man's life is when he sits down to plan how to get money without earning it.
Horace Greeley
