  • Apple Computer Inc.
    "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
    Apple Computer Inc.

    "People, you'll find, aren't usually all good or bad. Sometimes they're just a little bit good and a whole lot bad. And sometimes they're mostly good with a dash of bad. And most of us, well, we fall in the middle somewhere."
    Gabrielle Zevin


  • John Ruskin
    "Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. "
    John Ruskin


  • Alfred Hitchcock
    "Fear isn't so difficult to understand. After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual."
    Alfred Hitchcock


  • Stephen King
    "I don't believe in any actual thinking God that marks the fall of every bird in Australia or every bug in India, a God that records all of our sins in a big golden book and judges us when we die - I don't want to believe in a God who would deliberately create bad people and then deliberately send them to roast in a hell He created-but I believe there has to be something"
    Stephen King


  • Douglas Adams
    "I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day."

  • Joss Whedon
    ""I could NEVER be your girl."

    -Buffy to Spike, Season 6, Dead Things"
    Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)


  • Joss Whedon
    ""Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping ... waiting ... and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir ... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us ... guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love ... the clarity of hatred ... the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead." "
    Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)


  • "Don't give me songs. Give me something to sing about. "
    — Buffy


  • Joss Whedon
    "Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck."

  • Joss Whedon
    "You're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater."
    Joss Whedon


  • Joss Whedon
    "Humor keeps us alive. Humor and food. Don't forget food. You can go a week without laughing."

    Joss Whedon


  • Joss Whedon
    "All I ask is this: Do something. Try something. Speaking out, showing up, writing a letter, a check, a strongly worded e-mail. Pick a cause – there are few unworthy ones. And nudge yourself past the brink of tacit support to action. Once a month, once a year, or just once...Even just learning enough about a subject so you can speak against an opponent eloquently makes you an unusual personage. Start with that. Any one of you would have cried out, would have intervened, had you been in that crowd in Bashiqa. Well thanks to digital technology, you’re all in it now."
    Joss Whedon


  • Joss Whedon
    "Take my love, take my land
    Take me where I cannot stand
    I don’t care, I’m still free
    You can’t take the sky from me
    Take me out to the black
    Tell them I ain’t comin’ back
    Burn the land and boil the sea
    You can’t take the sky from me
    There’s no place I can be
    Since I found Serenity
    But you can’t take the sky from me…"
    Joss Whedon (Those Left Behind)


  • Joss Whedon
    "Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are. "
    Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)


  • Joss Whedon
    "Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who's confronted with it. We need equality. Kinda now."
    Joss Whedon


  • ""Now what did I do with that rat's ass that I could give?""
    — Quote from Pushing Daisies


  • "Everyone wants stuff. We wake up every day with list of wishes a mile long and maybe we spend our lives trying to make those wishes come true, but just because we want them doesn't mean we need them to be happy."
    — Pushing Daisies


  • Audrey Hepburn
    "If I’m honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all."
    Audrey Hepburn


  • C.S. Lewis
    "Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again."
    C.S. Lewis (The World's Last Night: And Other Essays)


  • Shana Abé
    "I heard what you said. I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved."
    Shana Abé


  • Francesca Lia Block
    "You are in my blood. I cant help it. We can't be anywhere except together"
    Francesca Lia Block (Weetzie Bat)


  • Oscar Wilde
    "The very essence of romance is uncertainty."
    Oscar Wilde (The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays)


  • Pedro Calderón de la Barca
    "Love that is not madness is not love."
    Pedro Calderón de la Barca


  • Oscar Wilde
    "The heart was made to be broken."
    Oscar Wilde


  • "Because our hearts are unprepared for truth, we cling to the deception as a shipwreck victim on a storm-tossed sea will grab at anything that floats. But the splintered rubble of our broken trust - those temporary buoys of our shattered dreams - betray us, gouging rough gashes into our souls, drawing our blood and leaving us to sink."
    Penelope J. Stokes


  • "The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
    shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,
    but have less, we buy more, but enjoy 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, yet more
    problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

    We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little,
    drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too
    little, 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. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but
    have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer
    space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

    We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom,
    but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but
    accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more
    computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we
    communicate less and less.

    These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small
    character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

    These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but
    broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway
    morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything
    from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the
    showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can
    bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share
    this insight, or to just hit delete...

    Remember, to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
    going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks
    up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave
    your side.

    Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the
    only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

    Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most
    of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from
    deep inside of you.

    Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person might
    not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to
    share the precious thoughts in your mind."
    Bob Moorehead


  • Louise Erdrich
    "Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone
    won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You
    have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth.
    You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And
    when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or hurt, or death
    brushes near, you let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the
    apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell
    yourself that you tasted as many as you could.
    "
    Louise Erdrich (The Painted Drum: A Novel)


  • Joss Whedon
    "I cannot abide useless people."
    Joss Whedon
