![There is no best anything in art. Phillip [Hoffman] isn't better than Heath [Ledger]; Joaquin [Phoenix] isn't better than David [Strathairn] or Terence [Howard]. They aren't better than me. We all do different things. It's more of a celebration of a lot of great work than to give the gold to somebody. The underappreciated factor certainly has gone away.](/assets/img/quote-photos/there-is-no-best-anything-in-art-phillip-hoffman-isnt-better-than-heath-ledg.jpg)

art block food
To see the butcher slap the steak before he laid it on the block, and give his knife a sharpening, was to forget breakfast instantly.

It was the triumph of mind over matter; quite.

Beware, I pray thee, of presuming that thou art saved.

gone-away love-of-my-life feelings
Being in Nirvana was amazing an experience that will never happen again for me. And I look on them as some of the best and worst times of my life. But we're in this band, the Foo Fighters, making music for the love of music. We all came from bands that had disbanded, and we were drawn to each other because we missed playing - we missed getting in the van, loading our equipment, and watching it break down in the middle of a show. And that feeling hasn't gone away. There's nothing I'd rather do than make music. It's the love of my life. Dave Grohl

He who sups with the devil had better have a long spoon. The devilry of modernity has its own magic: The [believer] who sups with it will find his spoon getting shorter and shorter--until that last supper in which he is left alone at the table, with no spoon at all and with an empty plate. The devil, one may guess, will by then have gone away to more interesting company. Peter L. Berger
