"Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation…. It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process."	Aldous Leonard Huxley
"The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm."	Aldous Leonard Huxley
"A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire."	Lido Anthony "Lee" Iacocca
"Different people have different duties assigned to them by Nature; Nature has given one the power or the desire to do this, and the other that. Each bird must sing with his own throat."	Henrik Ibsen
"The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart."	Robert Green Ingersoll
"Like the number of apples Contained within a single apple seed Each opportunity that we seize Contains an untold number of benefits."	Rick Irving
"Acting is not about dressing up. Acting is about stripping bare. The whole essence of learning lines is to forget them so you can make them sound like you thought of them that instant."	Glenda Jackson
"The white, the Hispanic, the black, the Arab, the Jew, the woman, the Native American, the small farmer, the businessperson, the environmentalist, the peace activist, the young, the old, the lesbian, the gay and the disabled make up the American quilt."	Jesse Louis Jackson
"If there are occasions when my grape turned into a raisin and my joy bell lost its resonance, please forgive me. Charge it to my head and not to my heart."	Jesse Louis Jackson
"My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised."	Jesse Louis Jackson
"There are moods in which one feels the impulse to enter a tacit protest against too gross an appetite for pure aesthetics in this starving and sinning world. One turns half away, musingly, from certain beautiful useless things."	Henry James
"Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his lttle finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed."	William James
"This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it."	William James
"No man will ever bring out of the Presidency the reputation which carries him into it...To myself, personally, it brings nothing but increasing drudgery and daily loss of friends."	Thomas Jefferson
"Man is fed with fables through life, and leaves it in the belief he knows something of what has been passing, when in truth he has known nothing but what has passed under his own eye."	Thomas Jefferson
"The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do."	Thomas Jefferson
"I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win -- if you don't you won't."	Bruce Jenner
"I believe that one of the great problems for us as individuals is the depression and the tension resulting from existence in a world which is increasingly less pleasing to the eye."	Claudia Alta Taylor Johnson
"This is something that I cherish. Once in a friend's home I came across this blessing, and took it down in shorthand ... it says something I like to live with: "Oh Thou, who dwellest in so many homes, possess Thyself of this. Bless the life that is sheltered here. Grant that trust and peace and comfort abide within, and that love and life and usefulness may go out from this home forever."	Claudia Alta Taylor Johnson
"Do not ... hope wholly to reason away your troubles; do not feed them with attention, and they will die imperceptibly away. Fix your thoughts upon your business, fill your intervals with company, and sunshine will again break in upon your mind."	Dr. Samuel Johnson
