We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love – first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.

When our governments want to sell us a course of action, they do it by making sure it’s the only thing on the agenda, the only thing everyone’s talking about. And they pre-load the ensuing discussion with highly selected images, devious and prejudicial language, dubious linkages, weak or false ‚intelligence‘ and selected ‚leaks.‘

I’ve had moments when I’ve thought about somebody, picked up the phone to call them and they are on the line already, and I think that maybe there’s some vibration, some connection.

You have to give others the opportunity to love who you love. If they don’t accept it, it’s their loss.

A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.

I don’t like being alone.

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.

I make a lot of expressions constantly. I’m animated.

I can’t deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you.

Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.

Advertising works most effectively when it’s in line with what people are already trying to do. And people are trying to communicate in a certain way on Facebook – they share information with their friends, they learn about what their friends are doing – so there’s really a whole new opportunity for a new type of advertising model within that.

One merit of poetry few persons will deny: it says more and in fewer words than prose.

I just think you ought to talk straight with your people.

Use what language you will, you can never say anything but what you are.

Style is that which indicates how the writer takes himself and what he is saying. It is the mind skating circles around itself as it moves forward.

The issues a president faces are not black and white, and cannot be boiled down into 140 characters. Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military at your command, you can’t make snap decisions. You can’t have a thin skin or the tendency to lash out.

Before I look stupid and not know what a word means or how to pronounce it, I’ll stop the whole production: ‚Hey, real quick, guys. Define this word for me. Somebody.‘

I want to represent… to the kids to draw strength from me. So they can see that everybody goes through something, but you can rise up and do your best. Just try.

One of my direct subordinates, one of my guys that worked for me, he would call me up or pull me aside with some major problem, some issue that was going on. And he’d say, ‚Boss, we’ve got this, and that, and the other thing.‘ And I’d look at him and I’d say, ‚Good.‘

My friend has a baby. I’m recording all the noises he makes so later I can ask him what he meant.

A person hears only what they understand.

Those who have never known the deep intimacy and the intense companionship of mutual love have missed the best thing that life has to give.

It’d be stupid for me to sit here and say that there aren’t kids who look up to me, but my responsibility is not to them. I’m not a baby sitter.

Happiness is a hard master, particularly other people’s happiness.

The true genius shudders at incompleteness – and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be.

The fact is that people are good, Give people affection and security, and they will give affection and be secure in their feelings and their behavior.

Man’s enemies are not demons, but human beings like himself.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

I would impress upon your minds the fact that if you want to do a man justice, you should believe what a man says himself rather than what people say he says.

I can express myself.

If I have something to say, I want it to be meaningful.

I never desire to converse with a man who has written more than he has read.

Debates, I hate.
