Here's my advice to you: don't marry until you can tell yourself that you've done all you could, and until you've stopped loving the women you've chosen, until you see her clearly, otherwise you'll be cruelly and irremediably mistaken. Marry when you're old and good for nothing...Otherwise all that's good and lofty in you will be lost.

Leo Tolstoy

You aren't really old until nothing is fun enough to make you forget the weather.

Robert Quillen

I've had fun doing romantic comedies, but I just can't anymore. There's nothing fulfilling creatively, there's nowhere to grow, nothing to learn from it or for yourself. I'd rather just be home with my family or write music until that special project comes my way.

Mandy Moore

I really try to have fun. If I don't have fun, you won't have fun. That's what my gift is: to relieve people from a little of the pain and comfort in their lives by allowing my comedy to distract them. A good laugh is almost as good as any doctor visit.

Louie Anderson

Oscar Wilde

Fun stands for finally understnding nothing. And that's what's fun about fun, you don't have to get it.

Gary Busey

When everything is for 'fun' nothing is for the good.

Anne Stevenson

I've done my share of busking, and it's fun until it isn't. There are musicians in the subways that will make you cry, they're so good.

Andrew Bird

Fun is a good thing but only when it spoils nothing better.

George Santayana

Setting an example for your children takes all the fun out of middle age Conditions are never just right. People who delay action until all factors are favorable do nothing.

William Faulkner

It used to be that you could have fun with interviews with the foreign press, knowing that nothing you said would make it back to any voters until long after the election was over, if ever.

Susan Estrich
