I don't need therapy. I'm not going to see a therapist; comedy acts as my therapy. I put my problems out there. I talk about them. I talk about everything before anybody has a chance.

- Kevin Hart

Never talk for half a minute without pausing and giving others a chance to join in.

- Sydney Smith

I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those you dislike?

- Jean Cocteau

The optimist underestimates how difficult it is to achieve real change, believing that anything is possible and it's possible now. Only by confronting head-on the reality that all progress is going to be obstructed by vested interests and corrupted by human venality can we create realistic programmes that actually have a chance of success.

- Julian Baggini

Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.

- Henry David Thoreau

At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.

- Daniel Day-Lewis

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.

- Andrew Bird

I am constantly struggling to show people that there is more to me than my appearance. You do have to try and overcome those hurdles. Female actresses need to be given the chance to be more than how they look.

- Amber Heard

As long as the people don't fear the truth, there is hope. For once they fear it, the one who tells it doesn't stand a chance. And today, truth is still beautiful... but so frightening.

- Alice Walker

Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.

- Ray Bradbury
