Ah, yes, I wrote the Purple Cow -- I'm sorry, now, I wrote it! But I can tell you, anyhow, I'll kill you if you quote it.

To live is to hurt others, and through others, to hurt oneself. Cruel earth! How can we manage not to touch anything? To find what ultimate exile?

Albert Camus

In real life, it is the hare who wins. Every time. Look around you. And in any case it is my contention that Aesop was writing for the tortoise market. Hares have no time to read. They are too busy winning the game.

Anita Brookner

A friend to everybody and to nobody is the same thing.

Proverb

Time and space have no meaning, just as your conscious thoughts are meaningless.

Stephen Richards

O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?O, stay and hear; your true love's coming,That can sing both high and low:Trip no further, pretty sweeting;Journeys end in lovers meeting,Every wise man's son doth know.What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;Present mirth hath present laughter;What's to come is still unsure:In delay there lies not plenty;Then, come kiss me, sweet and twenty,Youth's a stuff will not endure.

William Shakespeare

A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Science follows the evidence wherever it leads, but Darwinism does not. So the present controversy over evolution is not a war between science and religion. It is primarily a war between Darwinism and evidence--and the evidence will win.

Jonathan Wells

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.

Ernest Hemingway

Ignorance is a menace to peace.

Paul Harris

I don't pretend to understand the Universe -- it's a great deal bigger than I am.

Thomas Carlyle

For your own good is a persuasive argument that will eventually make a man agree to his own destruction.

Janet Frame

To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.

Abraham Lincoln
