Ad astra per aspera. Translated: "to the stars through difficulties".

John James Ingalls

But life has no smooth roads for any of us. And in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim, the very roughness only stimulates the climber to sturdier and steadier steps, till that other legend of the rough places fulfils itself at last; "per aspera ad astra;" over steep ways to the stars.

William Croswell Doane

Ad Astra' is a visually beautiful film but the story is the interesting part.

Lorne Balfe

There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.

Seneca the Younger

C’est moi, c’est moi,’tis I,' I told him. It seemed appropriately melodramatic, though I didn’t know if he’d catch the reference. I shouldn’t have worried. Unexpectedly, he laughed. “Trust you to quote Lancelot rather than Guinevere.

Seneca the Younger

Space doesn't offer an escape from Earth's problems. And even with nuclear fuel, the transit time to nearby stars exceeds a human lifetime. Interstellar travel is therefore, in my view, an enterprise for post-humans, evolved from our species not via natural selection, but by design.

Martin Rees

Tota vita nihil aliud quam ad mortem iter est. The whole of life is nothing but a journey to death.

Seneca the Younger

Philosophy finds it an easy matter to vanquish past and future evils, but the present are commonly too hard for it.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

I'm not an ad-libber. If I'm asked to ad-lib, I can ad-lib forever and it's really fun to do that, but I find that well-written scripts are put together very carefully. Once you start to ad-lib and add words to sentences, there's a slacking that happens. When it's good writing, it's taut. I'm not judging people who do ad-lib.

James Marsters

It's a blessing as an artist to express myself - whether that be via dance, via song or via speech - in so many different ways.

Bebe Neuwirth

"The man who alters his way of thinking to suit others is a fool." Our quote of the day is, from of all people, the Marquis de Sade, the most infamous writer in all of French literature. And by the way, if you recognized that quote, you're sick.
