In all affairs, love, religion, politics, or business, it's a healthy idea, now and then, to hang a question mark on things you have long taken for granted

Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man.

Bertrand Russell

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

George Best

If the great internet connects us all ... then why are so many of us becoming increasingly isolated?

Stephen Richards

That came from my mother. She was the biggest influence on my life. I remember once refusing to get on a bus with her because she was wearing a mink, and I thought we should be taking a taxi. She just said, 'Who cares what people think?' and I remember sitting on that bus, being utterly embarrassed, but knowing somehow that she was totally correct.

Tony Wilson

If the attainment of peace is the ultimate objective of all statesmen, it is, at the same time, something very ordinary, closely tied to the daily life of each individual.

Eisaku Sato

The history of human conduct does not warrant that exalted opinion of human virtue which would make it wise in a nation to commit interests of so delicate and momentous a kind as those which concern its intercourse with the rest of the world to the sole disposal of a magistrate, created and circumstanced, as would be a President of the United States.

Alexander Hamilton

Words are capable of making experience more vivid, and also of organizing it. They can scare us, and they can comfort us.

Jonathan Safran Foer

Fast cars are my only vice.

Michael Bay

Love is so exquisitely elusive. It cannot be bought, cannot be badgered, cannot be hijacked. It is available only in one rare form: as the natural response of a healthy mind and healthy heart.

Eknath Easwaran

I try to explain to people that the only way to be cool is to be who you truly are, and the only way to live life is to do the things that you want to do and be the person that you want to be no matter who that is or what that is or how you have to do it. That's the only way you can be genuinely happy.

Tucker Max

I'm not happy not doing anything. When positive things are rolling in, you've got to take them when you can get them.

Tori Spelling

Leave her to heaven And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge, To prick and sting her.

William Shakespeare
