Almost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attibutable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century.

Youth is wasted on the young.

George Bernard Shaw

Take a trip to the forest and experience the greatness of getting on your knees and picking your own food and going home... and eating it.

Rene Redzepi

We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

An original writer is not one who imitates nobody, but one whom nobody can imitate.

De Chateaubriand

Only yesterday I was no different than them, yet I was saved. I am explaining to you the way of life of a people who say every sort of wicked thing about me because I sacrificed their friendship to gain my own soul. I left the dark paths of their duplicity and turned my eyes toward the light where there is salvation, truth, and justice. They have exiled me now from their society, yet I am content. Mankind only exiles the one whose large spirit rebels against injustice and tyranny. He who does not prefer exile to servility is not free in the true and necessary sense of freedom.

Kahlil Gibran

If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.

Albert Einstein

We are the creatures of imagination, passion, and self-will, more than of reason or even of self-interest. Even in the common transactions and daily intercourse of life, we are governed by whim, caprice, prejudice, or accident. The falling of a teacup puts us out of temper for the day; and a quarrel that commenced about the pattern of a gown may end only with our lives.

William Hazlitt

As I see it, life is an effort to grip before they slip through one's fingers and slide into oblivion, the startling, the ghastly or the blindingly exquisite fish of the imagination before they whip away on the endless current and are lost for ever in oblivion's black ocean.

Mervyn Peake

The American people are not just being taxed to death they're being taxed after death. But, no one should have to sell the life's work of a parent or a loved one just to pay the federal government.

J. D. Hayworth

The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets.

John D. Rockefeller

Anything worthy is worth the fight!

Besa Kosova

I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.

Walt Whitman
