Famous Quotes & Sayings

Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud

Not to know the past is to be in bondage to it, while to remember, to know, is to be set free.

Thus, I try to think of the good that I have already experienced and what will still be coming.

Ronnie Dunn

I carry my own film guys with me now. People think that's a huge expense, but with technology like it is these days, it's not.

I can do ten videos for a project for the price of one mainstream video in the past.

We see how that event directed us toward a life that we would not change for anything.
