Never invoke the gods unless you really want them to appear. It annoys them very much.

I got quite annoyed after the Haiti earthquake. A baby was taken from the wreckage and people said it was a miracle. It would have been a miracle had God stopped the earthquake. More wonderful was that a load of evolved monkeys got together to save the life of a child that wasn’t theirs.

I’m a bookworm. I know with my physical appearance that I don’t look like the typical reader. I’m in Barnes & Noble all the time, and you can look at people that look like they are supposed to be in there. I am in there, pants sagging, hat backwards.

Why is it you always meet people when you look your worst?

He that’s secure is not safe.

It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so.

Every people have gods to suit their circumstances.

Even a paranoid can have enemies.

Everybody looks like clones and the only people you notice are my age. I don’t notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.

The gods too are fond of a joke.

We do not see people as they are, but as they appear to us. And these appearances are usually misleading.

The gods‘ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.

I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you’re a Christian you’ve got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It’s no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that’s going to go, ‚Yeah, give me some of that?‘

My family wasn’t rich, so when it comes to money, I tend to think, ‚Err on the side of caution.‘

Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they’re eating sandwiches.

Exceeds man’s might: that dwells with the gods above.

Sometimes cameras and television are good to people and sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know if its the way you say it, or how you look.

You’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!

Always forgive your enemies – nothing annoys them so much.

I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I’m doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.

As soon as there is life there is danger.

A man’s face is his autobiography. A woman’s face is her work of fiction.

Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

People have never looked so ugly as they do today. We just consume far too much.

There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it.

Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way – everything is interdependent, not absolute.

There are all kinds of stupid people that annoy me but what annoys me most is a lazy argument.

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.

You can think of the entire Internet as a place where ideas embodied in cyberspace are having a war, and it’s not much different than the war of gods in heaven, which has been taking place since there’s been human beings.

I like to make people feel happy and superior in their reaction towards my appearance.

I didn’t like the way I looked in pictures – when I saw myself on a digital camera, I was like, ‚Eesh.‘

Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods.

I don’t care if you get up in the morning and don’t wash, don’t put any make-up on, don’t do your hair, even, but you have to have clothes if you want to look different.

It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But… it is better to be good than to be ugly.

Trust, but verify.

No one is so miserable as the poor person who maintains the appearance of wealth.

So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.

Don’t go getting mixed up in the business of your betters, or you’ll land in trouble too big for you.

Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.

We run carelessly to the precipice, after we have put something before us to prevent us seeing it.

Distrust and caution are the parents of security.

In Hollywood a girl’s virtue is much less important than her hairdo.

What is the use of writing plays, what is the use of writing anything, if there is not a will which finally moulds chaos itself into a race of gods.

Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.

When in doubt, don’t.

As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods; they kill us for their sport.

There are no small accidents on this circuit.

So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.

Gambling can turn into a dangerous two-way street when you least expect it. Weird things happen suddenly, and your life can go all to pieces.

Our errors are surely not such awfully solemn things. In a world where we are so certain to incur them in spite of all our caution, a certain lightness of heart seems healthier than this excessive nervousness on their behalf.

If you want to gather honey, don’t kick over the beehive.

I’m a woman, and anytime you tell a woman that she looks nice, it’s not going to upset her.

People do not wish to appear foolish; to avoid the appearance of foolishness, they are willing to remain actually fools.

Though men determine, the gods doo dispose: and oft times many things fall out betweene the cup and the lip.

Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.

I’m trying to keep a level head. You have to be careful out in the world. It’s so easy to get turned.

Play not with paradoxes. That caustic which you handle in order to scorch others may happen to sear your own fingers and make them dead to the quality of things.

At fifty everyone has the face he deserves.

Beware the tyranny of the weak. They just suck you dry.

Many people have been getting too casual about climbing Everest. I forecast a disaster many times.
