Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.

Imagination is as vital to any advance in science as learning and precision are essential for starting points.

The human mind evolved always in the company of the human body and of the animal body before it was human. The intricate connections of mind and body must exceed our imagination as from our point of view we are peculiarly prevented from observing them.

My life has been a gift up to this point and I've been blessed beyond my wildest imagination. And wherever this ride takes me is where I'm going.

But I'm never gonna get to a point in my life where what it costs to shoot a movie is going to determine what it is. The limits of my imagination is the only thing that's gonna stop me.

The face of nature and civilization in this our country is to a certain point a very sufficient literary field. But it will yield its secrets only to a really grasping imagination. To write well and worthily of American things one need even more than elsewhere to be a master.

But because it was able to balance that kind of humor with a sweet story and characters you really rooted for and also got across the girls' point of view I've heard nothing but great things from younger and older females as well.

I think up until the point when we started in the business which was in the early '70s most of the humor was political. The smart humor was political satire.

Conservative humor is frankly harder than liberal humor. You get points for just being liberal. You can get more points if you make fun of your own side sometimes.

I believe that economists put decimal points in their forecasts to show they have a sense of humor.

It is my fervent hope and prayer that by exposing my mistakes and by pointing out the things that were a part of my early life some who might be following the same paths might not make those same mistakes.

I hope we don't get to the point where we have to have the cat stop chasing the mouse to teach him glassblowing and basket weaving.

You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction. I always get a little disappointed when I know too well where I'm going or when I've lived in a place so long that there's no chance I could possibly get lost.

The myth of the liberal media empowers conservatives to control debate in the United States to the point where liberals cannot even hope for a fair shake anymore.

To not be self-conscious of your appearance is huge and something that I desperately hope to carry into film at some point in my useless life - to not be thinking 'My ear looks weird from this angle why is the camera over there?'

The moment that changed me for ever was the moment my first child was born. I was happy filled with hope and thought 'Now I understand the whole point of work of life of love.'

I hope we never get to the point that we put ourselves in Jesus' place. But when I read the New Testament basically we get three mandates: to love God to love each other and to take care of the least among us. And I think this is at least a step in the right direction.

To my great disappointment it appears that the politics of division are making a big comeback. Many Americans share my disappointment - especially those who were filled with great hope a few years ago when then-Senator Obama announced his candidacy in Springfield Illinois.

I doubt I'll be singing forever because at some point people aren't going to want to hear my music and I hope that I'll still get the opportunity to write songs.

I don't feel a lack of hope. It's just disappointment that after all these years we're still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people.

When too many Americans don't vote or participate some see apathy and despair. I see disappointment and even outrage. And I believe that out of this frustration can come hope and action.

Your ordinary acts of love and hope point to the extraordinary promise that every human life is of inestimable value.

Present n. That part of eternity dividing the domain of disappointment from the realm of hope.

The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
