Although I don't have a prescription for what others should do, I know I have been very fortunate and feel a responsibility to give back to society in a very significant way.

Niklaus Wirth

The healthy man does not torture others -- generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.

Carl Gustav Jung

An excessive knowledge of Marxism is a sign of a misspent youth.

John McCarthy

There are just certain things that turn my head. It may be a girl's sense of humor, it may be her wit, or her belief system it could be a lot of different things.

Jensen Ackles

Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets.
