Anton Chekhov

Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.

Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

If my house was on fire, I can't compromise about which part of the house I'm going to save. You save the whole house or it will all burn down. We either save this country or we do not.

I love 'Time Bandits;' it's great.

I love the character of Jaime Lannister. He's just so complex - a character that we love to hate - but it's a lot more complex than hatred. It starts off, and he seems so arrogant and so smug.
