"It is not a God, just and good, but a devil, under the name of God, that the Bible describes." ― Thomas Paine Topic(s): Death More From Thomas Paine "Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us." "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." "It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving, it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe." More In Death "Michael Jackson will always be my favorite pop musician; he was for years and years until his death, which was horrible to me. So I like pop culture. But to me, even if it’s popular, there is a quality in the music you have to be able to appreciate."― Michel Gondry "Death, the final, triumphant lover."― Bela Lugosi "Creative ideas flourish best in a shop which preserves some spirit of fun. Nobody is in business for fun, but that does not mean there cannot be fun in business."― Leo Burnett
