I�ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life.

Ve den, som sviker svuret ord. Ve den, vars hjärta rimmar falskt. Ve den, som sätter silver före plikt.
När slaget timar, vik då icke från din herres sida. När fränder sviker, stå då bergfast vid din post. När modet faller, surra då handen vid yxan.
Vid din herres röst, lystra och lär. Vid din herres tanke, tig och förstå. Vid din herres befallning, lyd med gott mod.
Din veka syn till trots, möt hans fiende med blicken. Din ledna arm till trots, möt hans fiende med svärdet. Din tarvliga lekamen till trots, låt den skydda din herre.
Ve den, som sviker sin herre i blodstider. Må han förtvina i vanära. Må han plikta med sitt liv.

There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however na?ve that may have been, it was a good deal less na?ve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.

It's a na?ve domestic Burgundy without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.

We have an enormous fixation on, what seems to me to be, the na�¯ve idea that truth resides in what somebody wrote sometime in the past. If it's not written down, it isn't true. And that's absurd. But it's the way historians are trained: you have to have a source, and if you don't have something you can cite from an original source, in the original language, then you're not a really good historian, you're are not scientific, you're not true .

'Words Of Profanity'
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but short tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we ve added years to life, not life to years.

And I think being a good director is being able to be completely tyrannical and you?ve got to be an absolute dictator while at the same time, you have to listen and see everything because it can all change on a dime.

I can�«t remember life without diabetes, ... It�«s part of me and I�«ve accepted it. I didn�«t think twice about it.

We haven�t been very productive throwing the football the last two weeks. That�s one area we definitely have to look at, ... When you do that you�ve got to look at production, you�ve got to look at the guy, the quarterback, look at the receivers. We�re going to do all of that. Then we�re going to decide what gives us the best chance.

We are not na?ve enough to ask for pure men; we ask merely for men whose impurity does not conflict with the obligations of their job.
