Science is meaningless because it gives no answer to our question, the only question important for us: 'What shall we do and how shall we live?'

(Leo Tolstoy)

Mistakes are the stepping stones to wisdom, we learn from trial & error, we become wise by understanding problems.

(Leon Brown)

My grandmother raised five children during the Depression by herself. At 50, she threw her sewing machine into the back of a pickup truck and drove from North Dakota to California. She was a real survivor, so that's my stock. That's how I want my kids to be too.

(Michelle Pfeiffer)

I went to court-reporting school to study stenotyping. After awhile, whenever anybody spoke, in my mind my fingers would be punching it out. Even two years after I quit, my mind still did that.

(Michelle Pfeiffer)

My mother's five foot two and, I'll be honest with you, she's the only person I'm scared of.

(Keifer Sutherland)

I think the father-son dynamic is interesting. I don't have a male friend who hasn't had some kind of conflict with their dad, and I don't have a male friend who hasn't had some kind of conflict with their son.

(Keifer Sutherland)

The meanest and most hateful thing about money is that it even gives one talent.

(Fyodor Dostoevsky)

If I seem happy to you . . . You could never say anything that would please me more. For men are made for happiness, and anyone who is completely happy has a right to say to himself, 'I am doing God's will on earth.' All the righteous, all the saints, all the holy martyrs were happy.

(Fyodor Dostoevsky)

He who has love, is in God, and God is in him, for God is love.

(Leo Tolstoy)

When the suffering of another creature causes you to feel pain, do not submit to the initial desire to flee from the suffering one, but on the contrary, come closer, as close as you can to her who suffers, and try to help her.

(Leo Tolstoy)

Do not allow negative experiences to make you bitter. They should make you wiser, and with that wisdom you shall find joy.

(Leon Brown)

I've been working since I was 14, and my father, being very conservative, has always been strict about my having a savings account.

(Michelle Pfeiffer)

When I was very young I never thought I was attractive, because I was a tomboy and I was always the biggest girl in the class.

(Michelle Pfeiffer)

I had never gone to college, I left school at a really early age, and all of a sudden I've got six really great friends hanging out with me every night. And we were a really tight group, and we just had an absolute blast.

(Keifer Sutherland)

I didn't grow up with my dad, so it was always very funny to me, and always has been, what an important part DNA plays in one's life.

(Keifer Sutherland)

The prince says that the world will be saved by beauty! And I maintain that the reason he has such playful ideas is that he is in love.

(Fyodor Dostoevsky)

I am a dreamer. I know so little of real life that I just can’t help re-living such moments as these in my dreams, for such moments are something I have very rarely experienced. I am going to dream about you the whole night, the whole week, the whole year.

(Fyodor Dostoevsky)
