I am a citizen of the world.

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.

Let us strive for the impossible. The great achievements throughout history have been the conquest of what seemed the impossible.

You’ll never find rainbows if you’re looking down.

I am for people. I can’t help it.”

“We think too much and feel too little.”

“Secrets have power only as long as they are secret.” 

“Roots can exist without flowers, but no flower can exist without roots. Religion may be a flower, but people are its roots.” 

“What I really want to say: That what the world really needs is a real feeling of kinship. Everybody: stars, laborers, Negroes, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers. Please don’t make me a joke. End the interview with what I believe.” 

“She didn’t put her finger to the wind; she became the wind.” 

“PLANNING AHEAD IS A measure of class. The rich and even the middle class plan for future generations, but the poor can plan ahead only a few weeks or days.” 

“Without leaps of the imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning” 

“As always, self-esteem had created an ability to be generous.” 

“In the words of so many daughters who don’t yet know that a female fate is not a personal fault, I told myself: I’m not going to be anything like my mother.” 

“IF EVERYONE HAS A full circle of human qualities to complete, then progress lies in the direction we haven’t been.” 

“people in the same room understand and empathize with each other in a way that isn’t possible on the page or screen.” 

“Now that being on the road was my choice, not my fate, I lost the melancholy feeling of 'everybody has a home but me'. I could leave—because I could return. I could return—because I knew adventure lay just beyond an open door. Instead of 'either/or', I discovered a whole world of 'and'.” 

“Beware of any motto that glorifies the past. It’s code for restoring hierarchy. For example: “Make America great again.” 

We're growing up with a very illiterate bunch of children who have somehow been taught that film is fact when, in fact, it's invention. Hopefully, an historical film will inspire people to go and read about the history but in the end it is a work of fiction and selection. As for the armour itself, no it wasn't particularly comfortable.

“Violence and racism are bad. Whenever they occur they are to be condemned and we should not turn a blind eye to them.”

“Masks are arrested expressions and admirable echoes of feeling, at once faithful, discrete, and superlative. Living things in contact with the air must acquire a cuticle, and it is not urged against cuticles that they are not hearts; yet some philosophers seem to be angry with images for not being things, and with words for not being feelings. Words and images are like shells, no less integral parts of nature than are the substances they cover, but better addressed to the eye and more open to observation. I would not say that substance exists for the sake of appearance, or faces for the sake of masks, or the passions for the sake of poetry and virtue. Nothing arises in nature for the sake of anything else; all these phases and products are involved equally in the round of existence.”

“In his biggest sacrifices, man finds the biggest fulfillment”

“Those who speak most of progress measure it by quantity and not by quality.”

“To knock a thing down when it is cocked at an arrogant angle is a deep delight of the blood.”
