I aimlessly travel, meaning I have no agenda other than to get small in the world, be quiet and observe people.

I like to go to work, and also, I don't have any kids. I don't have any hobbies. I don't like to travel. So going to work is kind of it.

Christopher Walken

The key to happiness is good health and a bad memory

Ingrid Bergman

For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.

H. L. Mencken

I have a very close friendship with the skaters.

Eric Heiden

Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.

Bertolt Brecht

Knowledge is not skill. Knowledge plus ten thousand times is skill.

Shinichi Suzuki

Men are idolaters and want something to look at and kiss and hug, or throw themselves down before; they always did, they always will; and if you don't make it out of wood, you must make it out of words.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, The Poet

From top to bottom of the ladder, greed is aroused without knowing where to find ultimate foothold. Nothing can calm it, since its goal is far beyond all it can attain. Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned.

Emile Durkheim

Life is the art of being well deceived, and to succeed, it must be habitual and uninterrupted.

Oscar Wilde

I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me. I write a book for no other reason than to add three or four hundred acres to my magnificent estate.

Jack London

That a marriage ends is less than ideal but all things end under heaven, and if temporality is held to be invalidating, then nothing real succeeds.

John Updike

The fear of losing is what makes competitors so great. Show me a gracious loser and I'll show you a permanent loser.

O. J. Simpson
