My nominee for Best Picture of the year - maybe the best picture ever because it's essentially made up of and is an ecstatic love letter to all other movies - is Christian Marclay's endlessly enticing must-see masterpiece 'The Clock.'

Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.

Every man should follow the bent of his nature in art and letters always provided that he does not offend against the rules of morality and good taste.

The art of art the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters is simplicity.

I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.

Always write angry letters to your enemies. Never mail them.

When I receive letters from girls that say 'You give me confidence ' I think 'Wow this is amazing.' That's my goal: to let people know it's truly what's on the inside that counts.

I saw 'The Artist.' It's really beautiful and it's all done to the letter with all the silent film techniques. The costumes were amazing and the dog is so good.

Thus the poet's word is beginning to strike forcefully upon the hearts of all men while absolute men of letters think that they alone live in the real world.

If you read back in the Bible the letter of the apostle Paul to the church of Thessalonia he said that in the latter days before the end of the age that the Earth would be caught up in what he called the birth pangs of a new order.
