Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in circles and goes nowhere. — John Wooden
Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed. — William James

One of the terrible things about George W. Bush Administration is that nobody wants to hear bad news.

If you have a small independent film, it's very hard to get the attention of people in those circles. — Kate del Castillo
