Gary E. Sparks:

It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Kathryn Schulz:

No language could have too many ways to express the pleasure of emotional, aesthetic, and intellectual connection -- or, for that matter, too many ways to simply say yes. Saying yes as often as possible is, famously, the first rule of improv, vital to maintaining energy, imagination, and humor. It is also, I have long thought, a sure sign that you're falling in love, not to mention crucial to sustaining that love over the long haul. And, while sometimes impractical, dangerous, or just plain dumb, saying yes to as much stuff as possible is, over all, a pretty good strategy for getting through life.

Lauren Clark:

It's good to have a plan, but if something extraordinary comes your way, you should go for it.

Sterling Hayden:

Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?
