The stories that I want to tell, especially as a director, don't necessarily have a perfect ending because, the older you get, the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day; the reality of things is what happens tomorrow.
Drew Barrymore

Life, Good, Happy

Christopher Hitchens

Used, Either, View

It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it.
Zora Neale Hurston

Morning, Live, Trying

Chris Hemsworth

Lazy, Around, House

Erykah Badu

Nothing, Ability, Audience

The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas.
George Santayana

Education, Great, Experience

P. J. O'Rourke

Politics, God, Done

The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor. A war correspondent for the BBC dedicated his memoir to 50 fallen colleagues, and I guarantee you they were all taking pictures. I am only alive because I am such a chicken.
P. J. O'Rourke

Great, War, Alive

As I get older, all sorts of things become less funny. Once one has children, any cruelty involving children becomes far less amusing than when one was at the mercy of one's friends' and relatives' children.
P. J. O'Rourke

Funny, Children, Friends

Colin Powell

Time, Enemy, Opinion

Joseph P. Kennedy

Malcolm Forbes

Same, Possible, Pay

Albert Ellis

Upset, Contribute

A stand-up comic is judged by every line. Singers get applause at the end of their song no matter how bad they are.
Phyllis Diller

End, Bad, Matter

Who do you think made the first stone spears? The Asperger guy. If you were to get rid of all the autism genetics, there would be no more Silicon Valley.
Temple Grandin

Made, Guy, Autism

The key is to get to know people and trust them to be who they are. Instead, we trust people to be who we want them to be - and when they're not, we cry.
David Duchovny

Trust, Cry, Key
