Andrew Dost

Oscar Wilde

Leo Tolstoy

Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness.
To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
Winston Churchill
I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.

The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.
As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artists sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a freedom or a confusion.
Jasper Johns
It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

Somehow a bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever.
Helen Rowland
Since fantasy isn't about technology, the accelleration has no impact at all. But it's changed the lives of fantasy writers and editors. I get to live in England and work for a New York publisher!

Both conservatives and liberals watch 'Parks and Recreation,' and they each think the show is for them, which is really cool. 'SNL' was totally different. It was exciting because everyone was paying attention. Political humor works when people know what you're talking about.
