It's kind of the yin and yang that fascinate me. That for all the evil men do, there are also people who work obnoxiously long hours and sacrifice their personal lives because it is a calling - if they don't keep our streets safe, if they aren't there to advocate for and save beaten women and children and murder victims, who will? |

Chaos in the midst of chaos isn't funny, but chaos in the midst of order is. |
| Carl Jung |
The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong. |
| Susan Cain |
Opposites attract, and I think temperament is so fundamental that you end up craving someone of the opposite temperament to complete you. |

Listen, the obvious thing to remember is without dark, there is no light, and without light, there is no dark. |
| Linda Hamilton |
My heart is so light that it's amazing. I get to play all this grief, all this loss, all this disaster and chaos. It's hysterically funny. I am very light. |

All of us are trying to achieve 100 percent in our work. That's all we struggle to do. We never do, but we never stop trying until the day we die. It's that struggle to achieve 100 percent, that's where our performance lies, that's what the audience gets. They get the struggle. |
| James Gandolfini |
It is a dark, dark world. If you're going to be in a dark world, I can't think of any better one to be in. I still think I'm very lucky to be in it. |
| Isaac Bashevis Singer |
The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance. |

The difference between the Parthenon and the World Trade Center, between a French wine glass and a German beer mug, between Bach and John Philip Sousa, between Sophocles and Shakespeare, between a bicycle and a horse, though explicable by historical moment, necessity, and destiny, is before all a difference of imagination. |
