He was the sort of person who stood on mountaintops during thunderstorms in wet copper armour shouting ‚All the Gods are bastards.‘

I think Pat Robertson is a terrific fellow.

You might say that Lyndon Johnson is a cross between a Baptist preacher and a cowboy.

When I don’t feel free and can’t do what I want I just react. I go against it.

Yes, I’m still going to misbehave!

Action is character.

A man’s own manner and character is what most becomes him.

The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.

Do not go gentle into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light.

One can know a man from his laugh, and if you like a man’s laugh before you know anything of him, you may confidently say that he is a good man.

One thing you gotta know about me is I have absolutely no filter. I have no problem saying what the hell I think of someone.

Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it.

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.

Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of man you are.

The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods.

There is nothing in which people more betray their character than in what they laugh at.

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

Character is expressed through our behavior patterns, or natural responses to things.

The gods too are fond of a joke.

I’m not the most patient of people.

I love nerdy, cute, quirky boys who don’t take themselves too seriously.

I have a heart of gold, but I’m really a marshmallow in my heart.

I’ve always been – you know, my personality is motivating and encouraging. And so I’m just being who God made me to be.

Acting is a question of absorbing other people’s personalities and adding some of your own experience.

It is vain for the coward to flee; death follows close behind; it is only by defying it that the brave escape.

At home I am a nice guy: but I don’t want the world to know. Humble people, I’ve found, don’t get very far.

When people are very damaged, they can often meet the world with a kind of defiance.

Men would be angels, angels would be gods.

Some are made modest by great praise, others insolent.

You have a nice personality, but not for a human being.

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.

I like to think my dad was easygoing and kind, and I think some of those things have been passed down. I am like him in a sense of being positive and hopeful. He was compassionate, and I’ve got a lot of that in me as well.

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

I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.

It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.

It is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one’s own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane.

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

When the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers.

It’s not about charisma and personality, it’s about results and products and those very bedrock things that are why people at Apple and outside of Apple are getting more excited about the company and what Apple stands for and what its potential is to contribute to the industry.

Those thinkers who cannot believe in any gods often assert that the love of humanity would be in itself sufficient for them; and so, perhaps, it would, if they had it.

Nothing shows a man’s character more than what he laughs at.

I’ve never been reckless – it’s always calculated. I’m mischievous, but I’m calculated.

The truth is, I had always wanted to be a comedian, but I really didn’t have that kind of personality, and it’s a terrifying thing to say.

Personality is everything in art and poetry.

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

Better than worshiping gods is obedience to the laws of righteousness.

I was a kind of hyper-intense person in my twenties and very impatient.

Women have to be extremely careful about choosing something that they consider an act of defiance that can really be used to further their enslavement.

Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life.

Tell me what you like and I’ll tell you what you are.

In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I’ve never been interested in that.

Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.

Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.

There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.

I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.

I think that, ah, I’m a very goofy sort of person in many ways.

The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions.

I’m an all-or-nothing kind of guy, I guess.

What people see on court is another side of me; it’s not me.
