"I hope I may have succeeded in presenting to you, however imperfectly, the currents of thought due to the work of the immortal Darwin which have helped to make anthropology what it is at the present time."

"Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record."

"As Aristotle said, 'Excellence is a habit.' I would say furthermore that excellence is made constant through the feeling that comes right after one has completed a work which he himself finds undeniably awe-inspiring. He only wants to relax until he's ready to renew such a feeling all over again because to him, all else has become absolutely trivial."

"The Christian should work as if all depended upon him, and pray as if it all depended upon God."

"I never worry about people not taking my work seriously as a result of the humor. In the end, the comic's best trick is the illusion that comedy is effortless. That people imagine what he's doing is easy is an occupational hazard."

"I don't want to do anything. I don't even want to start this day because then I'll just be expected to finish it."

"There isn't any great mystery about me. What I do is glamorous and has an awful lot of white-hot attention placed on it. But the actual work requires the same discipline and passion as any job you love doing, be it as a very good pipe fitter or a highly creative artist."

"You really have to work hard and apply yourself and by applying yourself and working hard and being diligent, you can achieve success."

"Sometimes I'll be sitting with my friends; I'll say something Koothrappali-esque and make a face. There is a lot of Koothrappali in me as a human being. A lot of mannerism, humor, mischievousness, my innocence. So I don't know if I bring him home so much as I bring myself to him at work."

"People who work in an environment where doing their best is recognized have a better chance of feeling good about their work."

"There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time."

"If a work of art is rich and vital and complete, those who have artistic instincts will see its beauty, and those to whom ethics appeal more strongly than aesthetics will see its moral lesson. It will fill the cowardly with terror, and the unclean will see in it their own shame."

"A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world."
