Urban conservationists may feel entitled to be unconcerned about food production because they are not farmers. But they can't be let off so easily, for they are all farming by proxy.
Wendell Berry
Truth is not as pompous and romantic as myth ... but it has the immeasurable value of being the Truth.
Felix Alba-Juez
Poetry proceeds from the totality of man, sense, imagination, intellect, love, desire, instinct, blood and spirit together.
Jacques Maritain
You need to find somebody who will speak the same language. We understand that we couldn't have any kind of discussion without permission, without a legal framework behind it.
Anatoly Chubais
I chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown, for qualities that would wear well.
Oliver Goldsmith

Stephen King

Clint Eastwood
There are two insults no human will endure. The assertion that he has no sense of humor and the doubly impertinent assertion that he has never known trouble.
Sinclair Lewis
Our capacity to retaliate must be, and is, massive in order to deter all forms of aggression.
John Foster Dulles
I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile.
