Geizhälse sind die Plage ihrer Zeitgenossen, aber das Entzücken ihrer Erben.
Ah, how lucky are the lieutenants, the six-foot Junkers, and all the rest of the Don Juan clan!... The bookworm, be he ever so decent and clever, is really only pleasing to himself and a small handful of others. The world passes him by and beckons to life and beauty ... to gay and handsome creatures to whom the hearts of their fellow men continue to turn.
Wir müssen verführerisch sein, sonst sind wir gar nichts.
Variety is the spice of life, a truth which, of course, every happy marriage seems to contradict.
Alles Alte, soweit es Anspruch darauf hat, sollen wir lieben, aber für das Neue sollen wir recht eigentlich leben.
Against a stupidity that is in fashion, no wisdom compensates.
Ich liebe dich ja… wie heißt es doch, wenn man einen Zweig abbricht und die Blätter abreißt? Von Herzen, mit Schmerzen, über alle Maßen.
Happiness, it seems to me, consists of two things: first, in being where you belong, and second -- and best -- in comfortably going through everyday life, that is, having had a good night's sleep and not being hurt by new shoes.
Das ist ein zu weites Feld.
Death accompanies us at every step and enables us to use those moments when life smiles at us to feel more deeply the sweetness of life. The more certain the end, the more tempting the minute.
Dreiviertel meiner literarischen Zeit ist überhaupt Korrigieren und Feilen gewesen.
Gaben, wer hätte sie nicht? Talente - Spielzeug für Kinder, Erst der Ernst macht den Mann, erst der Fleiß das Genie.
Ignorieren ist noch keine Toleranz.
Frei, aber nicht frech, das ist so mein Satz.
Ein feines Gefühl läßt sich so wenig lernen wie ein echtes. Man hat es – oder man hat es nicht.
Bücher haben Ehrgefühl. Wenn man sie verleiht, kommen sie nicht mehr zurück.
Personen, denen irgendetwas absolut, sind keine Genossen für mich; nichts seht fest, auch nicht einmal in Moral- und Gesinnungsfragen und am wenigsten in sogenannten Tatsachen.
Aber die Lebenskunst besteht darin, sein Pulver nicht unnütz und nicht in jedem Augenblick zu verschießen.
Es ist der Sinn der Ideale, daß sie nicht verwirklicht werden können.
Wenig Bildung macht Einbildung!
Gegen eine Dummheit, die gerade in Mode ist, kommt keine Klugheit auf.
Ein Optimist ist ein Mensch, der ein Dutzend Austern bestellt, in der Hoffnung, sie mit der Perle, die er darin findet, bezahlen zu können.
Schusters Rappen mußt aus dem Stall.
Und dann sehe ich doch auch gleich, dass Sie anders sind als andere, dafür haben wir Frauen ein scharfes Auge.
Genieße mit Phantasie! Alle Genüsse sind letztlich Einbildung. Wer die beste Phantasie hat, hat den größten Genuß.

Happy Birthday Jude Law!
Personally speaking there's only so long you can go from film to film to film. There's an inspiration an actor gets from the stage.
I was an optimist, a great champion of the human spirit. And I lost that for a time. I feel like I've regained a bit of that in the last few years but there was a period of my life in which I had a very low opinion of people in general.
Success, and even life itself, wouldn't be worth anything if I didn't have my wife and children by my side. They mean everything to me.
I'm only wanted by directors for the image I give off, and it makes me angry. I always wanted to be an actor and not a beauty pageant winner.
I'm not Tom Cruise. Very few British actors are. If you look at the body of work I've done it's pretty obvious I'm not going to make a 'Mission: Impossible.'
I feel more and more at ease, because I think the older I get, the less pressure there is. People say, 'Well, he's not cutting edge because he's not in his twenties, so he's not expected to be.'
When you suddenly appear on the scene and you are the new face, everything centers on you. I experienced this in my mid-20s and I found it rather hard.
We all have times when we go home at night and pull out our hair and feel misunderstood and lonely and like we're falling. I think the brain is such that there is always going to be something missing.
I think everyone goes through chapters in their life and there was a time when I wasn't feeling terribly positive about what I was contributing to film, or wasn't feeling as if I was going in the direction I wanted and I re-evaluated what I was doing.
I don't consider myself any great sage of fashion or style, whatever people may want to think.
I've always been someone who's really tried to live in the here and now. My memory isn't very good so maybe that's why, but it just seems like I've been living this life, my current chapter, for a really long time and I don't really remember what it was like before. It's just been sort of ingrained in me. What I deal with day to day.
I've always thought Prince Charming in 'Cinderella' was the most boring role; I'd rather be the Wicked Witch.
When you step back and watch people, you realize that we use every single body part. Movement, dance - I find it genius because it's ultimate expression, really.
I'm incredibly boring; I had a very happy childhood. I never starved, nor did I have a silver spoon in my mouth. I'm one of those terribly middle-of-the-road, British middle class, South London gents.
You heard it from the heart, you saw it in their eyes. Then I got used to the fact that I couldn't feel my fingers and my feet. That for me was the essence of the battle.
I don't want to do anything that I'm not passionate about.
You can't spend your life apologizing.
Face it, I didn't become famous until I took my clothes off.
I suppose I'm intrigued with the bad traits of society, because I'm a part of society, and the bad traits pose the dangerous questions for our future.
I'm kind of ashamed to be a celebrity. I don't understand wanting to read about other people's dirty laundry. I think celebrity is the biggest red herring society has ever pulled on itself.
London is my home... I know what's right and wrong here, and it's nice to have somewhere familiar to go back to.
I sometimes shy away because I don't want to be too 'showy-offy' but the older I get I think, 'You have a handkerchief, put it in your pocket.'
Making an effort is polite, and getting ready and looking after yourself makes an event more fun.
I've never been a fan of just doing. I like to do things for a reason.
I'm happiest at home hanging out with the kids... Having a family has been my saving grace because I don't work back to back on anything or I'd drive myself to an early grave with guilt and worry for my family, whom I'd never see.
I would never know how to sell myself as a sex symbol. That's not how I'm programmed.
I'm not called Jude Law, I have three names; I'm called 'Hunk Jude Law' or 'Heartthrob Jude Law'. In England anyway, that's my full name. That's the cheap language that's thrown around, that sums you up in one little bracket. It doesn't look at your life. But if one looks beyond, there is actually a little bit more.
There's no regret. You can't regret. I mean, I've felt regret but I've also refused to allow regret to sow a seed and live in me because I don't believe it. You feel it, it's like guilt, it's like jealousy, it's like all those horrible things. You've just got to snip them and get them out, because they're no good.
My goal was always to be recognized as a good actor but no one was interested in that, simply because society just wants to warm towards your appearance. This is the great blemish of society.
The only film I ever made for money was something called 'Music From Another Room', which I really didn't like.
I honestly have no interest in celebrity whatsoever. If anything, I always cringe at it because it takes away from what I am, which is an actor who wants to be better and do better things.
My only obligation is to keep myself and other people guessing.
If I have a look around at the moment I feel great relief because finally others are entering the limelight. Men like Robert Pattinson must now play the Adonis. For me it was always a restraint, a restriction.
In a way it was like washing your laundry in public and, yep, there you go, you've seen my underwear. And now I feel like there's nothing left, you've seen it all and I can get on.
I think it's a bigger risk following a part that plays up your looks than it is to try and carve out a career as an actor.

Happy Birthday Nichelle Nichols!
Science is not a boy's game, it's not a girl's game. It's everyone's game. It's about where we are and where we're going. Space travel benefits us here on Earth. And we ain't stopped yet.
I think anybody with any intelligence sits down and sees Star Trek not a kids' show.
Charlie X”)? Those were the hints, as far as I’m concerned.
I've agreed to do several Star Trek conventions this coming year.
Space travel benefits us here on Earth. And we ain't stopped yet. There's more exploration to come.
It's just coincidental that the acting took off first over everything else.
Sometimes we respond foolishly before we respond sensibly. We've experienced terrorism, negativism and man's inhumanity to one another before, and yet today we're a better people because of how we respond to it. The evolutionary process moves one step foreword, then two back; then three foreword and two back; then three foreword and only one step back, so that in the end there is a positive process.
I was very blessed in always knowing what I wanted to do, and by the grace of God I've been able to succeed in my chosen career.
I'm a fan of the fans. I love them. They're fabulous. I love being around them. I love their madness and their caring. I love watching them take off for a weekend, don the costumes, and become characters from the 23rd century and beyond. I thank the fans for giving us--me--so much support and love. I want them to know I love them. They'll always be my friends. I'll see the fans, always. They can rest assured of that.
All the people in Star Trek will always be known as those characters. And what characters to have attached to your name in life! The show is such a phenomenon all over the world.
Mahalia Jackson, I grew up around the corner from in Chicago.
Billie Holiday I never met, but I love her music.
About Leonard Nimoy: He was a true force of strength and his character was that of a champion. Leonard's integrity and passion as an actor and devotion to his craft helped transport Raumschiff Enterprise into television history. His vision and heart are bigger than the universe. I will miss him very much and send heartfelt wishes to his family.

Happy Birthday Denzel Washington!
I'm not in the loop; I don't know any actors, really, just the ones I work with.
Ich arbeite daran, ein guter Mensch zu sein. Mein Ziel ist, die beste Version von mir zu werden.
If you don't trust the pilot, don't go.
Wenn du um Regen betest, musst du mit dem Schlamm klarkommen. Das gehört dazu.
Dakota Fanning is a child, but she is a wonderful actor. I don't know what a child actor is. She's an actor who's a child.
Ich weiß bis jetzt nicht, was Hollywood eigentlich ist - kein Ort, keine Einstellung. Jedes Mal wenn ich dort bin, sehe ich Leute nur auf Fußabdrücke starren.
In any profession it gets to be a grind.
Jeder Beruf wird zur Schinderei.
One good thing about acting in film is that it's good therapy.
Glück ist dort, wo Möglichkeit auf Vorbereitung trifft.
My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.
Seine Pflichten weiter auszuführen und zu schweigen, ist die beste Antwort auf Verleumdung.
Any good piece of material like Shakespeare ought to be open to reinterpretation.
Schauspielern ist nur eine Art seinen Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen, die Familie ist das Leben.
Black or white good parts are hard to come by. A good actor with a good opportunity has a shot; without the opportunity it doesn't matter how good you are.
Mein Beruf ist nur ein kleiner Teil von mir.
Growing up I didn't watch movies.
Du musst Momente festhalten wenn Sie geschehen.
If I am a cup maker, I'm interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup, not what people think about it.
I like talking. I like acting.
I never really had the classic struggle. I had faith.
I'm not a film buff. I don't watch a lot of movies.
The poorest people are the sweetest people.
I've been fortunate. I don't pick scripts. Scripts pick me.
In Los Angeles, everyone is a star.
My role 14 years ago in Richard III - that was the first time I played a bad guy and learned a lot about it - they have all the fun!
I work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.
The last few years I've been saying I was ready to quit. It wasn't that interesting to me. Now that I'm directing, it's all new again.
I'm very proud to be black, but black is not all I am. That's my cultural historical background, my genetic makeup, but it's not all of who I am nor is it the basis from which I answer every question.
Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that's their gift.
You don't know when you're being watched. That's one of the weird things about celebrity. It's my least favorite part of acting, celebrity.
I've worked with children all my life.
My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.
Meryl and Katharine Hepburn are probably the two greatest actresses of this and the last century.
My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.
It's simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they're done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it's what they see. That's where my head is at.
I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me - spiritually and financially.
I had a lot of success from the start. I never really was tested for long periods of time. I got my first professional job while I was a senior in college. I signed with the William Morris Agency before I graduated.
If you have an enemy, then learn and know your enemy, don't just be mad at him or her.
When people protest and are upset with a movie, it becomes a big hit. They hated Passion of The Christ, it worked out pretty well for the box office. So let's get that going.
You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it.
Michelle Pfeiffer hasn't been finding a lot of work recently because she doesn't like what a woman her age is offered. That's a real double standard. You get Sean Connery, who gets older and older, still playing opposite young ladies, but it doesn't work the other way around.
My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.
Where I think the most work needs to be done is behind the camera, not in front of it.
I'd be more frightened by not using whatever abilities I'd been given. I'd be more frightened by procrastination and laziness.
I wasn't allowed to go to movies when I was kid; my father was a minister. 101 Dalmatians and King of Kings, that was the extent of it.
I read the Bible every day.
I think the bottom of the totem pole is African-American women, or women of colour. I think they get the least opportunities in Hollywood.
I think a role model is a mentor - someone you see on a daily basis, and you learn from them.
I and haven't been unemployed for 20 years. I'm an exception to the rule.
The time to worrying about flying is when you're on the ground. When you're up in the air, it's too late. No point in worrying about it then.
Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.
Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.
You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.
I've worked in a factory. I was a garbage man. I worked in a post office. It's not that long ago. I like to think that I'm just a regular guy.
When I was a child I thought I saw an angel. It had wings and kinda looked like my sister. I opened the door so some light could come into the room, and it sort of faded away. My mother said it was probably my Guardian Angel.
I don't concern myself with award. I'd been to the party enough times to know it really didn't matter.
I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.
I played Othello, but I didn't sit around thinking how Laurence Olivier did it when he played it. That wouldn't do me any good.
I still have my unemployment books and I remember when I worked for the sanitation department and the post office.
When I did A Soldier's Story, I was very young and green and thought I knew everything-now I know I know everything!

We're lucky. Most of our men are good story men. In fact, they have to be. A fellow who's a good artist, but isn't good at telling a story in this form ... in continuity form ... can't really work for us.
What did Doctor Doom really want? He wanted to rule the world. Now, think about this. You could walk across the street against a traffic light and get a summons for jaywalking, but you could walk up to a police officer and say "I want to rule the world," and there's nothing he can do about it, that is not a crime. Anybody can want to rule the world. So, even though he was the Fantastic Four's greatest menace, in my mind, he was never a criminal!
It's geeks who really make or break a TV show or movie or videogame.
I'm a frustrated actor. My ... goal is to beat Alfred Hitchcock in the number of cameos. I'm going to try to break his record.
The "problem" is that Comic-Con is so damned successful. People who are there seem to have a wonderful time. The very size of it makes it exciting. Wherever you look, there's something exciting. The attendees are always looking around for a familiar face. It's either 'There's a movie star!' Or, 'There's a TV star!' Or, 'There's the guy who drew the Green Lantern!' It means so much to the fans. It makes them feel like they're where it's happening. It's like Woodstock.
The power of prayer is still the greatest ever known in this endless eternal universe.
If we don't blow ourselves up, the future will be wonderful.
I love Marvel and the people there. I'm glad I'm still part of it.
Achilles, without his heel, you wouldn't even know his name today.
With great power there must also come ... great responsibility!
I'm sort of a pressure writer. If somebody says, "Stan, write something," and I have to have it by tomorrow morning, I'll just sit down and I'll write it. It always seems to come to me. But I'm better doing a rushed job because if it isn't something that's due quickly, I won't work on it until it becomes almost an emergency and then I'll do it.
I don't really see a need to retire as long as I am having fun.
I've written so many things over the years that I don't want to go back to being just a scriptwriter. I'm in what I consider to be the enviable position of all I have to do is come up with the idea and write an outline that makes it seem like it's a viable idea that will interest people, and then other people write the scripts -- and I become the executive producer or the producer, depending on how much involvement I have, and I get a creative credit and then move on to the next project.
Everybody wants to feel that you're writing to a certain demographic because that's good business, but I've never done that ... I tried to write stories that would interest me. I'd say, what would I like to read?... I don't think you can do your best work if you're writing for somebody else, because you never know what that somebody else really thinks or wants.
I just figured that Bruce Banner had probably been a friend of Reed Richards, and Reed had given him some elastic trousers. There's an explanation for everything, but you may not be technically advanced enough to follow me on all of this.
I always sympathized with the people who did work for hire; I was one of them.
It's a tremendous challenge, because there have been so many characters created over the years. Every time you think you come up with a great name, you find out somebody has already done it. Dreaming up the stories isn't that hard, but coming up with a good title is the toughest part.
There is only one who is all powerful, and his greatest weapon is love.
If you're writing about a character, if he's a powerful character, unless you give him vulnerability I don't think he'll be as interesting to the reader.
I try not to do anything that's too close to what I've done before. And the nice thing is we have a big universe here. It's filled with new ideas. All you have to do is grab them.
Some people will say, "Why read a comic book? It stifles the imagination. If you read a novel you imagine what people are like. If you read a comic, it's showing you." The only answer I can give is, "You can read a Shakespeare play, but does that mean you wouldn't want to see it on the stage?"
Someone wants to do a movie of my life now and he's writing a script, and I said to him, "What the hell could you do? I've never been arrested, I haven't taken drugs, I've had the same wife for 54 years -- where's anything of interest to people?"
I had a publisher who felt comics were just for little kiddies, so he never wanted me to use words of more than two syllables.
I don't sound disloyal, but I've never had a pair of Marvel pyjamas or underwear. I do have a lot of Marvel figurines at home in a cabinet. Every time they make a new Marvel figure I put it in my cabinet.
The only time I go on the set is when I have a cameo to do in the picture. I go to the set and I do my little cameo and I meet all the people. It's a great way to spend the day. And then I go back to my own world.
'Nuff Said!
I'm no prophet, but I'm guessing that comic books will always be strong. I don't think anything can really beat the pure fun and pleasure of holding a magazine in your hand, reading the story on paper, being able to roll it up and put it in your pocket, reread again later, show it to a friend, carry it with you, toss it on a shelf, collect them, have a lot of magazines lined up and read them again as a series. I think young people have always loved that. I think they always will.
I never thought that Spider-Man would become the world wide icon that he is. I just hoped the books would sell and I'd keep my job.
I'm very proud of being a hack. It's why I've lived as long as I have, I think.
Comic book should be written as one word. So from now on, I want you to remember that. I never want to see the word comicbook written as two words. They are not funny books. They are not comic books, they are comicbooks! Remember that, or incur my wrath.
DC, of course, is trying to catch up to Marvel. More power to them. It's good if everybody does well, but they're certainly starting from a ways back. They have a lot of catching up to do ... Marvel has so many heroes. DC just has Superman, Batman and maybe Wonder Woman. Perhaps they'll use The Flash. Green Lantern wasn't very successful, but we'll see.
I have never had a lap dance in Tampa or any other part of Florida. If I ever did have a lap dance, I don't think I would be discussing television ideas with the girl that was giving it to me.
Face front, true believers!
Excelsior!
I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in people's lives. Without it they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you're able to entertain people, you're doing a good thing.
If Shakespeare and Michelangelo were alive today, and if they decided to collaborate on a comic, Shakespeare would write the script and Michelangelo would draw it. How could anybody say that this wouldn't be as worthwhile an artform as anything on earth?
What did Doctor Doom really want? He wanted to rule the world. Now, think about this.

Happy Birthday Gérard Depardieu!
One of the advantages of my profession is I come into contact with many people.
Ich habe darüber bereits mit meinem Präsidenten François Hollande gesprochen. Ich habe ihm all das bereits gesagt. Er weiß, dass ich Ihren Präsidenten Wladimir Putin sehr liebe und dass das auf Gegenseitigkeit beruht. Und ich habe ihm gesagt, dass Russland eine große Demokratie und kein Land ist, in dem ein Premierminister einen Bürger seines eigenen Landes als erbärmlich bezeichnet.
I had rapidly become aware there were problems with the Kalifa group.
Ich spiele den unglücklich Verliebten. Sie ist der moderne unromantische Typus, immer am Computer und am Handy. Auch dadurch kehren sich die Rollenverhältnisse um. Die Rolle des femininen Mannes entspricht mir sehr.
I'd rather spend my time with grape growers than actors. In the film industry, all the money is focused on television and the stupidity of American cinema.
Das Leben ohne Frauen wäre fad und leer. Doch warum hat Gott ihnen die Sprache geschenkt? Wären sie stumm, könnte man sie viel mehr lieben.
I don't snack all the time, but I do sometimes drink l more than I should.
Ich sehne mich nach dem Delirium. Es gibt da eine tiefe Sehnsucht, die meiner Natur absolut entspricht und der ich bisher noch nicht nachgegeben habe. Ich möchte drei Monate lang sturzbetrunken sein. Und dann einfach explodieren.
I have learnt a lot about my body since my heart attack. I don't drink as much now as before.
Der Fehler der heutigen Jugend liegt darin, daß man nicht zu ihr gehört.
I consider myself a free man and a citizen of the world.
Obelix passt perfekt zu mir, weil auch ich in eine Art Zaubertrank gefallen bin, ein Kessel gefüllt mit unbändiger Lust am Leben, einer Liebe zum Dasein, die alles umfängt und verschlingt.
I am a free man. I feel at home everywhere in Europe.
Höflichkeit ist der Versuch, Menschenkenntnis durch gute Manieren zu mildern.
When you have heart disease, you start to be tired of everything. It's like getting older. You become more white, and after that, grey. You have no feeling for anything.
Ich lebe mich selbst. Schauspieler, die spielen, sind meiner Ansicht nach uninteressant.
I want to get more involved with the vineyards I have all over the world and to spend more time with the people who work in them.
Ich schlafe, während ich arbeite.
I do this profession. I'm an actor. And it is, for me, an opportunity to meet people.
Wer seine Herkunft nicht vergisst, der kann vielleicht ein Arsch werden, aber kein Snob.
I would never let myself knock out a journalist.
Journalisten wissen immer mehr über mein Leben als ich selbst.
In the film industry, all the money is focused on television and the stupidity of American cinema.
I'd rather not have an address in France but an address in Italy because I love the country.
I love the police, contrary to many people.
If cinema is a woman then certainly there are many shores.
Cooking is not difficult. Everyone has taste, even if they don't realize it. Even if you're not a great chef, there's nothing to stop you understanding the difference between what tastes good and what doesn't.
The relationship between an actor and a director is like a love story between a man and a woman. I'm sure sometimes I'm the woman.
I never really like the characters I play. I only come to love them afterwards.
I'm curious about people. That's what I've always done since I've been a small boy. I'm curious about others.
I gain weight and lose it again in inevitable cycles.
I don't care about Hollywood films. I'm not against Hollywood films, you know? Hollywood films were very good before, in the 1950s.
I've had affairs. But I'm not the sort of man who has 10,000 affairs.
The wine I produce is not for keeping. It's the wine you want when meeting friends for a game of cards.
My unrealized ambition is to tend my vines, produce wine, and work like an artisan. I dream of rediscovering the old traditions and customs of wine growing, not necessarily to deny the technology which we have today, but to harness it and work in harmony with nature.
I'm an actor. And it is, for me, an opportunity to meet people. One of the advantages of my profession is I come into contact with many people.
Hollywood exists only for the B-movies. The best things are coming from Europe.
In Hollywood, you still have wonderful actors, but it's so hard to work there. To work becomes a Kafka nightmare - it's the last communist country!
Authenticity is the ability to listen to what nature tells us. Listening isn't the same thing as never making a mistake, but the important thing is to learn.
My only model for being a father was my father, an illiterate on the margin of society.
I'm living in the present. I have no ambition. It's true. But I want to live.
I like the idea of bringing cartoon characters to life... and although the Americans have already attempted this, their culture is not sufficiently humane to make it work.
Ich habe darüber bereits mit meinem Präsidenten François Hollande gesprochen. Ich habe ihm all das bereits gesagt.

Sex. In America an obsession. In other parts of the world a fact.
Ein Gentleman ist genau das, was das Wort besagt; ein Mann, der vornehm, milde und ruhig ist, der gute Manieren hat, dem man vertrauen kann; ein Mann, der einen nie enttäuschen wird.
The tears I have cried over Germany have dried. I have washed my face.
Die Männer beteuern immer, sie lieben die innere Schönheit der Frau - komischerweise gucken sie aber ganz woanders hin.
I am not a myth.
Ein hübsches Kompliment ist wie ein Sandwich: zwischen zwei Alltäglichkeiten etwas Besonderes.
A nice compliment is like a sandwich: something special between two banalities.
Die Freunde, die man morgens um vier Uhr anrufen kann - die zählen.
A man would prefer to come home to an unmade bed and a happy woman than to a neatly made bed and an angry woman.
Ein Mann interessiert sich im allgemeinen eher für eine Frau, die sich für ihn interessiert, als für eine Frau mit schönen Beinen - wer immer sie auch sei.
How do you know love is gone? If you said that you would be there at seven and you get there by nine, and he or she has not called the police yet - it's gone.
Die meisten Frauen setzen alles daran, einen Mann zu ändern - und wenn sie ihn dann geändert haben, mögen sie ihn nicht mehr.
Darling, the legs aren't so beautiful, I just know what to do with them.
Eine Frau zeigt lieber zwei hübsche Beine als ein Doppelkinn.
Without tenderness, a man is uninteresting.
Der Geburtsschein ist ein Gerücht, das eine Frau durch ihr Aussehen jederzeit dementieren kann.
The weak are more likely to make the strong weak than the strong are likely to make the weak strong.
Es ist für eine Frau sehr leicht, Männer zu entzweien, aber es ist ihr fast unmöglich, sie wieder zu versöhnen.
It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.
Ein Durchschnittsmann ist mehr an einer Frau interessiert, die an ihm interessiert ist, als an einer Frau - irgendeiner Frau - mit schönen Beinen.
Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.
Große Philosophen, große Dichter haben versucht, Liebe zu erklären. Wer bin ich schon, daß ich es besser könnte?!
The Germans and I no longer speak the same language.
Wenn man mit Presseleuten spricht, fällt einem auf, daß sie nicht viel Phantasie haben. Alle stellen immer die gleichen Fragen.
I'm worth more dead than alive. Don't cry for me after I'm gone; cry for me now.
Mein einziges Schönheitsrezept besteht darin, daß ich mir über mein Aussehen nicht die geringsten Sorgen mache. Kummer verursacht Falten.
I am at heart a gentleman.
Kummer ist eine private Angelegenheit.
A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.
Mode ist im Grunde nur eine bedauernswerte Schaustellung und hat nichts mit Fashion zu tun.
I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.
Ich bin zu Tode fotografiert worden.
The average man is more interested in a woman who is interested in him than he is in a woman with beautiful legs.
Selten ist ein Mann so gut in Stimmung wie dann, wenn er von sich selbst erzählt.
Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.
Latinos sind sinnliche Enthusiasten. In Brasilien werfen sie Blumen auf dich, in Argentinien sich selbst.
Courage and grace are a formidable mixture. The only place to see it is in the bullring.
Takt ist die schwierige Kunst, die brutale nackte Wahrheit anständig und sauber zu verkleiden.
Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.
Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt.
I had no desire to be an film actress, to always play somebody else, to be always beautiful with somebody constantly straightening out your every eyelash. It was always a big bother to me.
Über die Mode von gestern lächelt man, aber für die Mode von vorgestern begeistern wir uns, wenn sie die Mode von morgen zu werden verspricht.
There is a gigantic difference between earning a great deal of money and being rich.
Mancher Mann bleibt nur aus Bescheidenheit Junggeselle: Er will einfach keine bessere Hälfte.
In America, sex is an obsession, in other parts of the world it's a fact.
Unsympathisch sind mir alle Männer, die einer Frau zuerst auf die Beine sehen. Gefährlich sind die Kavaliere, die außer ihrem Scheckbuch kein Buch kennen. Im übrigen: es gibt kein Rezept für die Beurteilung der Männer. Hauptsache ist, daß sie wirklich lieben können.
Latins are tenderly enthusiastic. In Brazil they throw flowers at you. In Argentina they throw themselves.
In Amerika ist Sex eine Obsession, in anderen Teilen der Welt eine Tatsache.
America took me into her bosom when there was no longer a country worthy of the name, but in my heart I am German - German in my soul.
Wenn eine Frau ihrem Mann einmal verziehen hat, darf sie ihm seine Sünden nicht immer wieder aufgewärmt zum Frühstück servieren.
When you're dead, you're dead. That's it.
Männer wollen immer nur ihr Ding reinstecken. Das ist alles, was sie wollen.
There's something about an American soldier you can't explain. They're so grateful for anything, even a film actress coming to see them.
Wenn man einem Mann den kleinen Finger reicht, bietet er seine ganze Hand.
Glamour is what I sell, it's my stock in trade.
Wer zugibt, daß er unrecht hat, beweist, daß er gescheiter geworden ist.
They want you to bring out your intestines.
Wenn man seine eigenen Fehler kennt, muß man nicht darauf warten, daß man auf sie aufmerksam gemacht wird; man ist auch nicht entmudigt, wenn man Kritik hört.
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
Wenn man schöne Beine behalten will, muß man sie von den Blicken der Männer massieren lassen.
Grumbling is the death of love.
Wenn zwei schöne Frauen nebeneinander sitzen, zieht es.
To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it's no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long.
I never enjoyed working in a film.
Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs.
If there is a supreme being, he's crazy.
Ein Gentleman ist genau das, was das Wort besagt; ein Mann, der vornehm, milde und ruhig ist, der gute Manieren hat, dem man vertrauen kann; ein Mann, der einen nie enttäuschen wird.
The tears I have cried over Germany have dried. I have washed my face.

Mein einziges Schönheitsrezept besteht darin, daß ich mir über mein Aussehen nicht die geringsten Sorgen mache. Kummer verursacht Falten.
I am at heart a gentleman.
Kummer ist eine private Angelegenheit.
A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.
Mode ist im Grunde nur eine bedauernswerte Schaustellung und hat nichts mit Fashion zu tun.
I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.
Ich bin zu Tode fotografiert worden.
The average man is more interested in a woman who is interested in him than he is in a woman with beautiful legs.
Selten ist ein Mann so gut in Stimmung wie dann, wenn er von sich selbst erzählt.
Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.
Latinos sind sinnliche Enthusiasten. In Brasilien werfen sie Blumen auf dich, in Argentinien sich selbst.
Courage and grace are a formidable mixture. The only place to see it is in the bullring.
Takt ist die schwierige Kunst, die brutale nackte Wahrheit anständig und sauber zu verkleiden.
Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.
Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt.
I had no desire to be an film actress, to always play somebody else, to be always beautiful with somebody constantly straightening out your every eyelash. It was always a big bother to me.
Über die Mode von gestern lächelt man, aber für die Mode von vorgestern begeistern wir uns, wenn sie die Mode von morgen zu werden verspricht.
There is a gigantic difference between earning a great deal of money and being rich.
Mancher Mann bleibt nur aus Bescheidenheit Junggeselle: Er will einfach keine bessere Hälfte.
In America, sex is an obsession, in other parts of the world it's a fact.
Unsympathisch sind mir alle Männer, die einer Frau zuerst auf die Beine sehen. Gefährlich sind die Kavaliere, die außer ihrem Scheckbuch kein Buch kennen. Im übrigen: es gibt kein Rezept für die Beurteilung der Männer. Hauptsache ist, daß sie wirklich lieben können.
Latins are tenderly enthusiastic. In Brazil they throw flowers at you. In Argentina they throw themselves.
In Amerika ist Sex eine Obsession, in anderen Teilen der Welt eine Tatsache.
America took me into her bosom when there was no longer a country worthy of the name, but in my heart I am German - German in my soul.
Wenn eine Frau ihrem Mann einmal verziehen hat, darf sie ihm seine Sünden nicht immer wieder aufgewärmt zum Frühstück servieren.
When you're dead, you're dead. That's it.
Männer wollen immer nur ihr Ding reinstecken. Das ist alles, was sie wollen.
There's something about an American soldier you can't explain. They're so grateful for anything, even a film actress coming to see them.
Wenn man einem Mann den kleinen Finger reicht, bietet er seine ganze Hand.
Glamour is what I sell, it's my stock in trade.
Wer zugibt, daß er unrecht hat, beweist, daß er gescheiter geworden ist.
They want you to bring out your intestines.
Wenn man seine eigenen Fehler kennt, muß man nicht darauf warten, daß man auf sie aufmerksam gemacht wird; man ist auch nicht entmudigt, wenn man Kritik hört.
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
Wenn man schöne Beine behalten will, muß man sie von den Blicken der Männer massieren lassen.
Grumbling is the death of love.
Wenn zwei schöne Frauen nebeneinander sitzen, zieht es.
To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it's no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long.
I never enjoyed working in a film.
Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs.
If there is a supreme being, he's crazy.
Happy Birthday Johannes Kepler!
Wenn es gar so dunkel ist in deinem Leben, sieh doch einmal nach, ob es nicht am Ende daher kommt, daß alle deine Fensterläden verschlossen sind.
I too play with symbols... but I play in such a way that I do not forget that I am playing. For nothing is proved by symbols... unless by sure reasons it can be demonstrated that they are not merely symbolic but are descriptions of the ways in which the two things are connected and of the causes of this connection.
Die Mathematik allein befriedigt den Geist durch ihre außerordentliche Gewißheit.
The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.
Die Heilige Schrift, welche höhere Dinge lehrt, bedient sich der gewöhnlichen Redeweise, um verstanden zu werden.
Discover the force of the skies O Men: once recognised it can be put to use.
Das Beste findet sich dort, wo sich Fleiß mit Begabung verbindet.
The squares of the periodic times are to each other as the cubes of the mean distances.
Die Sterne sind nur der Vater deines Schicksals. Die Mutter ist deine eigene Seele.
The treasures hidden in the heavens are so rich that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.
Nur die Liebe zur Wahrheit schafft Wunder.
Planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus.
Täglich steht der Tod mir bevor, wohl weiß ich es sicher. Doch wenn ich schau', wie der Chor kreisender Sterne sich schlingt, fühl' ich mich aufwärts gehoben, ich sitze an himmlischer Tafel.
Geometry has two great treasures; one is the Theorem of Pythagoras; the other, the division of a line into extreme and mean ratio. The first we may compare to a measure of gold; the second we may name a precious jewel.
Mein höchster Wunsch ist, den Gott, den ich im Äußerem überall finde, auch innerlich, innerhalb meiner gleichermaßen gewahr zu werden.
I demonstrate by means of philosophy that the earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides; that it is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.
Der Mensch ist von Gott so hoch erhoben, daß er imstande ist, ihm seine Gedanken nachzudenken.
The soul of the newly born baby is marked for life by the pattern of the stars at the moment it comes into the world, unconsciously remembers it, and remains sensitive to the return of configurations of a similar kind.
In der Schöpfung greife ich Gott gleichsam mit den Händen.
I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.
Astronomie treiben heißt, die Gedanken Gottes nachlesen.
We ought not to ask why the human mind troubles to fathom the secrets of the universe. The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the skies so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.
Die Körper wären nicht schön, wenn sie sich nicht bewegten.
Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife.
Allein, es schafft keine geringe Erleichterung, wenn ich bedenke, daß wir uns nicht so über die ungeheure, geradezu unendliche Weite des äußersten Himmels wundern müssen, als vielmehr über die Kleinheit von uns Menschen, die Kleinheit dieses unseres so winzigen Erdkügelchens.
When ships to sail the void between the stars have been built, there will step forth men to sail these ships.
Heilig ist zwar Laktanz, der die Kugelgestalt der Erde leugnete; heilig Augustinus, der die Kugelgestalt zugab, aber die Antipoden leugnete; heilig das Offizium unserer Tage, das die Kleinheit der Erde zugibt, aber ihre Bewegung leugnet. Aber heiliger ist mir die Wahrheit.
The radius vector describes equal areas in equal times.
Ich suche in mir den Gott, den ich außerhalb überall finde.
I used to measure the skies, now I measure the shadows of Earth. Although my mind was sky-bound, the shadow of my body lies here.
Hundert kleine Freuden sind tausendmal mehr wert als eine große.
Nature uses as little as possible of anything.
Die Geometrie gab es schon vor der Erschaffung der Welt. Sie ist ewig wie der Geist Gottes.
The Earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides, is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.
I too play with symbols... but I play in such a way that I do not forget that I am playing. For nothing is proved by symbols... unless by sure reasons it can be demonstrated that they are not merely symbolic but are descriptions of the ways in which the two things are connected and of the causes of this connection.

Happy Birthday Rick Berman!
Kids are not driving themselves to McDonalds. It's not about kids and their choices. It's about parents and their choices.
Two things built the Internet: Star Trek and porn.
It's not an easy task. On the other hand, I have nothing to be ashamed about. We created 624 hours of television and four feature films and I think we did a hell of a job. I'm amazed that we managed to get 18 years of the kind of work that everyone involved managed to contribute to, and it's certainly more than anyone could have asked for.
No one wants the next Star Trek movie to work more than I do. I just hope it's a little closer to the movie we all want it to be.
The way unions are presently structured is often anachronistic. They don't want to recognize that the world has moved on. Management isn't treating employees like they were in the 1930s or '40s.
If obesity is a disease, it is the only one that I am familiar with that you can cure by taking long walks and keeping your mouth shut,
The reason that the law is set up with secret ballots is that it's too easy to compromise someone's intention.

Happy Birthday Nicholas Meyer!
Schools and libraries are the twin cornerstones of a civilized society. Libraries are only good if people use them, like books only exist when someone reads them.
A screenplay is not a finished product; a novel is. A screenplay is a blueprint for something - for a building that will most likely never be built.
The director is a bit analogous to the conductor of a symphony orchestra. It's a collaborative adventure.
As a writer, you have control of the words you put on the page. But once that manuscript leaves your hand, you give control to the reader. As a director, you are limited by everything: weather, budget, and egos.
Art doesn't just happen by accident. It is about pulling out new tricks and trying new things.
Actors will change their face, will change their hair, will change their voice, will disappear into the role. A movie star doesn't disappear.
The first thing that put me on the map was my Sherlock Holmes novel.
An actor is someone who pretends to be somebody else. A movie star is somebody who pretends that somebody else is them.
There are moments in one's life where you look back and you say, 'Well, I wish I had done this differently.'
I was always a filmmaker before I was anything else. If I was always anything, I was a storyteller, and it never really made much of a difference to me what medium I worked in.

Happy Birthday James Prescott Joule!
The height of the pulleys from the ground was twelve yards, and consequently, when the weights had descended through that distance, they had to be wound up again in order to renew the motion of the paddle.
It is evident that an acquaintance with natural laws means no less than an acquaintance with the mind of God therein expressed.
Believing that the power to destroy belongs to the Creator alone I affirm... that any theory which, when carried out, demands the annihilation of force, is necessarily erroneous.
After the knowledge of, and obedience to, the will of God, the next aim must be to know something of His attributes of wisdom, power, and goodness as evidenced by His handiwork.
Order is manifestly maintained in the universe... governed by the sovereign will of God.

Happy Birthday Nicole de Boer!
I don't know. I didn't watch it before I joined it.
Not a big one. I like some of his stuff...not the really scary stuff, more the psychological kind, and of course Stand By Me. His writing has ranges, you know?
When I came on, Hans Beimler one of the producers said to me, "This is really going to change your world. This is really going to crazy." And I already had big garbage bags of fan mail on my first day at work waiting for me. So it is crazy, but I really embrace it. I love it. I love the fans.
I loved the original Stephen King story and I thought Michael Hall was great for the part. My worry was would my character have anything to do? She didn't have a job. It became a running gag with me in the kitchen flipping pancakes. Is this all I do, flip pancakes? But she gets a job in second season.
I did feel good about it. You can always want to do more and I'm sure the writers did afterwards, that's just natural to feel that. But they sure crammed a whole lot of stuff in there for me for a year. I have fond memories of working on it, I loved working on it!
I mean seven years the guy is in a coma and everybody told me he wasn't going to wake up.
I love STAR TREK conventions, they're great. I like to go to places like Australia and places that I wouldn't necessarily get a chance to go, so that's always fun. For the fans it's a way of socializing and they really have a great time. The energy's always really nice, everybody's always really good to me.
I didn't go looking for it, it found me I guess. I started working in Toronto and there was a lot of American shows shooting there and a lot were sci-fi.
I liked the studios that they film at, Bridge in Vancouver. It's a great place to work. I just thought the cast and crew were fabulous. They were having a really good time, which is nice to see after so many years [of working together]. It can go either way. It can be a family atmosphere or it can be [that] people get grouchy.
I am more of a pixie, a spritely...I'm for the guys who don't even have the esteem to even think about Jeri in the privacy of their own home.
I got some episodes and watched them, but I didn't really want to be affected too much by what she did. Jadzia was going to be one of many people inside of me, so I just did the clasping-the-hands-behind-the-back like she did, which I think also Joran did as well. It kind of gave that little nod to her, but she was going to be one of, what, eight people inside me?
I do a little bit. I am in the family. I have the uniform. I am a lieutenant..I went from ensign to lieutenant in only three episodes.

Happy Birthday Uri Geller!
So, I am independently well-off and don't have to do anything, but I still do. I write books, lecture around the world, work with scientists and governments.
If I am looking for something, for example a lost sunken submarine, I just hold my hands over the map and focus on the submarine until I feel a magnetic pull towards the location. To double check, I fly over the area. There is no deep concentration or meditation involved. I can talk, cycle or do other things at the same time. When I bend a spoon I just stroke the spoon gently and talk to it-bend, bend-and it bends.
For a moment I thought he would faint. But then he suddenly looked at me and said 'I love these people' and I said 'Are you okay?' He said 'I am okay' and kept waving to his fans.
I'm a religious man. I am Jewish but I believe in all religions. I believe in God and see him as an old man with a big white beard and pray to him every day for a few minutes.
I've seen lights in the sky, I've seen UFOs, I've even seen something on the ground that I can't explain, but I've never actually seen a being. I wish I had.
I have been around for 35 years. I have met Elvis Presley, Elton John, John Lennon, all the Beatles. I have never ever seen anything like that and I hope I never will see it again. Michael was crushed.
I think I usually have quite ordinary dreams. Sometimes my dreams take me to other dimensions. I can travel in my mind especially when I'm dreaming I focus my mind on what I want to dream. If I want to fly, I focus on flying.
I was sued by a woman who claimed that she became pregnant because she watched me on television and I bent her contraceptive coil.
I'm writing books, I'm doing TV shows worldwide, and I'm doing many strange things-almost bizarre.
I am not a miracle worker, but I have done things of this nature before. It's 95 per cent down to the team and the players themselves to win. There is a five per cent gap that the fans can close to bring success.
Nowadays even presidents, vice-presidents, and heads of big agencies are opening their minds to accept psychic phenomena, because they know it works.
It took sheer willpower.
Our meaning is to make our little planet Earth a better place to live, to stop wars, disarm nuclear missiles, to stop diseases, AIDS, plague, cancer and to stop pollution.
Scientists want full proof under laboratory conditions. And the answer is very simple: When I'm put under pressure, I can't perform. Even the phenomenon I'm most known for. When I'm on stage, I'm not under pressure and it happens. In other important places, it happens. But in a laboratory where I really want it to happen, it's very hard for me.
I was about five years old when I was eating soup in our kitchen, and as I was lifting the spoon towards my mouth, it bent and broke in half.
What is important, and I think celebrities should do, is show your children when they are young is that wealth is not important. I took my children when they where young to Brazil, to the shanty towns with children begging. Ever since that day, I have had no problems with my children, if I buy them anything they are grateful.
The best part of being a vegan is the purity and peace of mind one experiences and the strong connection I feel to the animal kingdom.
It was just horrifying ... he was knocked to the ground.
I believe in past lives but I know nothing about mine and I don't want to know. I live in the present, taking one day at a time.
Still, I'm not interested in challenges. All my life I've kept away from challenges-do you understand?they know it works.
I've stopped caring about skeptics, but if they libel or defame me they will end up in court.
I honestly thought we wouldn't make it and we would end up in hospital.
I've just taught thousands of people over the radio in the USA how to mend broken watches and broken house appliances. I am a catalyst or trigger to access these powers.
To be very honest with you, I even managed to bend it ever so slightly.
