Famous Quotes & Sayings

Brenda Ueland

Douglas Adams

[The kakapo] is an extremely fat bird. A good-sized adult will weigh about six or seven pounds, and its wings are just about good for waggling a bit if it thinks it's about to trip over something — but flying is out of the question. Sadly, however, it seems that not only has the kakapo forgotten how to fly, but it has forgotten that it has forgotten how to fly. Apparently a seriously worried kakapo will sometimes run up a tree and jump out of it, whereupon it flies like a brick and lands in a graceless heap on the ground.

They are important years.

Harold Ramis

I've always thought that comedy was just another dramatic expression. I try to measure the amount of truth in a work rather than just looking at the generic distinction between comedy and drama.

Graham Norton

Those years between drama school and getting onto the stand-up circuit were pretty lean.

Nick Vujicic

What really matters are the lives you touch along the way and how you finish your journey.
