Famous Quotes & Sayings

Tim Dorsey

But you have to understand, mental illness is like cholesterol. There is is good kind and the bad. Without the good kind- less flavor to life.

Tim Dorsey (Hurricane Punch)

Marianne Williamson

The world we live in pictures a pie with only so many pieces, and if other people have more you have less, and you have to compete with other people in order to try to get ahead.

Albert Schweitzer

Will Smith

Sitting in the movie theater watching "Star Wars," I've never had an experience with any form of entertainment that was like that. It was almost spiritual.
