81 " There's no such thing as good art or bad art. Art is popular or unpopular. What is banned in Boston may be bid on at Christie's. "
― Ron Brackin
82 " Contrary to popular belief, diamond is not the hardest material known to man. The hardest material in the universe is dried egg yolk. And one day, it will revolutionize the construction industry. "
83 " Courtship is driven by hormones; marriage is sustained by humility and self-sacrifice. "
84 " Reading book reviews is like asking other people to chew your food for you. "
85 " There is no such thing as a bottomless pit. If it were bottomless, it would not be a pit. The only thing that comes close to being a bottomless pit is the intrinsic depravity of mankind. "
86 " Greed and Lust never say, "Enough! "
87 " Words are wonderfully elastic. They can be mispronounced, misspelled, misused or mistranslated. Even the most precise technical term can be stretched into a verb or adjective, slang or idiom, stretched all the way around until it finds itself facing itself, a mirror image, the exact opposite of itself. Mark my words, it can. "
88 " Choose your words carefully. The only place you can take back what you said is the Congressional Record. "
89 " I'd rather be frequently quoted than widely published. "
90 " There's no such thing as great art or poor art. Art is subjective expression. As such, it can be judged only as popular or unpopular. What is banned in Boston may one day receive a million-dollar bid at Christie's. Art has, therefore, no use for critics but frequently finds itself amused by commentators. "
91 " I read the writings of great men and women so that I can think bigger thoughts. "
92 " Some Christians pride themselves on their fierce opposition to their foe; others are humbled by the fierce love of their Friend. "
93 " We always find what our heart desires. If we search the Bible for loopholes and contradictions, we will find them. If we search the book for truth, it is there for the seeing. If we look for flaws in others, they become obvious. If we want to see others as a loving God sees them, he opens our eyes. If we look for a way out of temptation, it is always there. If we look for justification for sin, we will always find that, too. And if we really want to know God, he never fails to reveal himself. "
94 " Everybody has faith of some kind in one thing or another. Even the atheist has faith that there is no God. And the agnostic has faith in his belief that he is unable to believe. "
95 " It is impossible to love in vain. If you feel it was in vain, it was not love. "
96 " Science can neither prove nor disprove Scripture; it can hope only to begin to understand it. "
97 " I don't object to the proliferation of the 'f-bomb' in screenplays because the adjective is vulgar but because it is unimaginative. "
98 " Re: Full Disclosure Sharing with parents all the ways we tricked them as a child is no more amusing to them when we are in our fifties than it would have been had they caught us in the act. "
99 " There's a big difference between being in the market for a mate and living with your purchase. "
100 " It is not sufficient for artistic expressions to serve as "signposts declaring what it is to be fully human." They should impart a vision of what it can be to become divine. "
