Choose a letter: 
The becoming of man is the history of the exhaustion of his possibilities.
Susan Sontag, American Author (1933-2004)
Once again, I think there is little art being done that really owns up to such intense possibilities.

Remember always that the composer's pen is still mightier than the bow of the violinist; in you lie all the possibilities of the creation of beauty.
John Philip Sousa, American Musician (1854-1932)
Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
Gloria Steinem, American Activist (1934-  )

Fisher Stevens, American Actor (1963-  )
The arts equally have distinct departments, and unless photography has its own possibilities of expression, separate from those of the other arts, it is merely a process, not an art.

Audrey Tautou, French Actress (1978-  )

Ralph W. Trine, -
I believed totally in the possibilities implied in the series. I never thought of it as fantasy. Far from it.
Patrick Troughton, British Actor (1920-1987)
Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't.
Mark Twain, American Author (1835-1910)
Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
Mark Twain, American Author (1835-1910)
To write regular verses destroys an infinite number of fine possibilities, but at the same time it suggests a multitude of distant and totally unexpected thoughts.
Paul Valery, French Poet (1871-1945)
We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat. They do not exist.
Queen Victoria, British Royalty (1819-1901)
I have argued above that we cannot prevent the Singularity, that its coming is an inevitable consequence of the humans' natural competitiveness and the possibilities inherent in technology.
Vernor Vinge, American Writer (1944-  )
About astrology and palmistry: they are good because they make people vivid and full of possibilities. They are communism at its best. Everybody has a birthday and almost everybody has a palm.
Kurt Vonnegut, American Author (1922-2007)
My parents gave me stability and a belief in myself and in all the possibilities life has to offer. I was told the only limitations I would ever face were those I placed upon myself.
Dionne Warwick, American Musician (1940-  )
We forget that this music, music made by my brothers and sisters, is still a baby. It's just beginning. When I think of the possibilities, it makes me smile.
Barry White, American Musician (1944-2003)
Our minds are finite, and yet even in these circumstances of finitude we are surrounded by possibilities that are infinite, and the purpose of life is to grasp as much as we can out of that infinitude.
