Text Quotes
Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.

If you’re an actor, there’s going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today.

That’s as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say, meet it as a friend, for you’ll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it (Terms Quotes)

I think transwomen, and transpeople in general, show everyone that you can define what it means to be a man or woman on your own terms.

By the duty to be happy, I thus refer to the ideology... that urges us to evaluate everything in terms of pleasure and displeasure... on the one hand, we have to make the most of our lives; on the other, we have to be sorry and punish ourselves if we don’t succeed in doing so. This is a perversion of a very beautiful idea: that everyone has a right to control his own destiny and to improve his life (Terms Quotes)
To put it another way: a conference is an elite meeting on equal terms; a congress is a group of elites meeting on opposite terms; a convention is a mob meeting on equal terms; a course is an elite instructing a mob; and a colloquium is a group capable of considering all these phenomena (Terms Quotes)
