Famous Quotes & Sayings

H. P. Lovecraft

Jenny Lawson

I was always shy. Writing was my only outlet. Because I always hid in a room, I spent a lot of time watching people.

People with anxiety are acutely aware.

Jenny McCarthy

I don't think I ever said, "I want to be an actress." But for Halloween, I dressed up as a movie star from when I was seven to when I was twelve.

Your head's like mine, like all our heads; big enough to contain every god and devil there ever was. Big enough to hold the weight of oceans and the turning stars. Whole universes fit in there!

The world turns our key and we play the same little tune again and again and we think that tune's all we are.

Glenn Close
