The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life in living life happily as it should be lived. Living for the moment.

Death gives us sleep eternal youth and immortality.

Every parting gives a foretaste of death every reunion a hint of the resurrection.

Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.

Death is always around the corner but often our society gives it inordinate help.

The timing of death like the ending of a story gives a changed meaning to what preceded it.

One of the accidental joys of my writing life has been that I've had some lovely surprisingly good fortune with readers and I've brought readers to my dad's work. I can't tell you the joy that gives me. Because my father's work was masterful.

A lot of young filmmakers bring their movies to my dad because he always gives lots of good editing ideas and notes. He'd be a good film professor.

And you know my dad would show me some things sometimes but the best things that I got to do were to actually see really good players play up close. That gives you an idea of fingering and technique and what not.

My dad is still Christian Scientist. My mom's not and I'm not. But I believe in God and that there's a higher power and an intelligence that's bigger than us and that we can rely on. It's not just us thinking we are the ones in control of everything. That idea gives me support.

Now that I've got some films under my belt I have the courage of my convictions regarding acting. It gives me a leg to stand on.

Love makes a subtle man out of a crude one it gives eloquence to the mute it gives courage the cowardly and makes the idle quick and sharp.

Nothing gives a fearful man more courage than another's fear.

When you really believe in God it gives you a courage a confidence that enables you to meet the things coming.

Nothing gives us courage more readily than the desire to avoid looking like a damn fool.

Courage conquers all things: it even gives strength to the body.

We are very much what others think of us. The reception our observations meet with gives us courage to proceed or damps our efforts.

Suffering! We owe to it all that is good in us all that gives value to life we owe to it pity we owe to it courage we owe to it all the virtues.

Despair gives courage to a coward.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

That's always a cool thing to be the voice of what the eyes are seeing. It gives you the role of the Greek chorus and that's always fun to do.

See at a certain point it becomes cool to be boy crazy. That happens in sixth grade and it gives you so much social status particularly in an all-girls school if you can go up and talk to boys.

In France everyone speaks French 'cause they think it's cool. Gives 'em gives 'em an excuse to smoke.

Basically after an ABC sitcom I did I ended up with a holding deal with 20th Century Fox. Absolutely cool. It pays you to be unemployed. And the bigger the entity that gives you the deal the better.
