Success, Ingrid Bergman
I've never sought success in order to get fame and money; it's the talent and the passion that count in success.
- Ingrid Bergman, "The Last Word - A Treasury of Women's Quotes," by Carolyn Warner, 1992

Essence, John Adams
When we say that God is a spirit, we know what we mean, as well as we do when we say that the pyramids of Egypt are matter. Let us be content, therefore, to believe him to be a spirit, that is, an essence that we know nothing of, in which originally and necessarily reside all energy, all power, all capacity, all activity, all wisdom, all goodness.
- John Adams, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson (17 January 1820)

Passion, Henri-Frédéric Amiel
Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.
- Henri-Frédéric Amiel, Journal Intime, entry for December 17, 1856 (1882).

Film, Federico Fellini
The public has lost the habit of movie-going because the cinema no longer possesses the charm, the hypnotic charisma, the authority it once commanded. The image it once held for us all, that of a dream we dreamt with our eyes open, has disappeared. Is it still possible that one thousand people might group together in the dark and experience the dream that a single individual has directed?

Science, Ivan Pavlov
Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise.
- Ivan Pavlov
새의 날개가 아무리 완벽할지라도 공기가 없다면 그 날개는 결코 새를 들어 올릴 수 없습니다. 과학에 있어 사실은 공기와 같습니다. 사실 없이는 과학자는 결코 성공할 수 없습니다.
- 이반 파블로프
Money, Publilius Syrus
Money alone sets all the world in motion.
- Publilius Syrus
돈만으로도 세상은 돌아간다.
