Always think in terms of what the other person wants.

Today wouldn't have happened if histories weren't falsified.

Toba Beta

Love not the flower they pluck and know it not, And all their botany is Latin names

Ralph Waldo Emerson

He gave us the lakes for our Northern boundary, and the rivers stretching to the seas upon whose waters floats our commerce to the nations of the world; while man has done all that can be done by science to bind us together.

John Brough

The actor searches vainly for the sound of a vanished tradition, and critic and audience follow suit. We have lost all sense of ritual and ceremony -- whether it be connected with Christmas, birthdays or funerals -- but the words remain with us and old impulses stir in the marrow. We feel we should have rituals, we should do something about getting them and we blame the artists for not finding them for us. So the artist sometimes attempts to find new rituals with only his imagination as his source: he imitates the outer form of ceremonies, pagan or baroque, unfortunately adding his own trapping -- the result is rarely convincing. And after the years and years of weaker and waterier imitations we now find ourselves rejecting the very notion of a holy stage. It is not the fault of the holy that it has become a middle-class weapon to keep the children good.

Peter (Stephen Paul) Brook

When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization.

Daniel Webster

The subject matter of the stories on the surface... there seem to be a number of stories about travel.

Kenneth Koch

I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesn't discuss media coverage.

Sachin Tendulkar

Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.

Phyllis Diller

In private grief with careless scorn. In public seem to triumph and not to mourn.

John C. Granville

A lifetime of happiness? No man could bear it: it would be hell on earth.

George Bernard Shaw

Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever.

Horace Mann

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.
