America does not concern itself now with Impressionism. We own no involved philosophy. The psyche of the land is to be found in its movement. It is to be felt as a dramatic force of energy and vitality. We move; we do not stand still. We have not yet arrived at the stock-taking stage.

I would not give one moment of heaven for all the joy and riches of the world, even if it lasted for thousands and thousands of years.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Experience - the wisdom that enables us to recognise in an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.

Ambrose Bierce

Because of their courage, their lack of fear, they (creative people) are willing to make silly mistakes. The truly creative person is one who can think crazy; such a person knows full well that many of his great ideas will prove to be worthless. The creative person is flexible -- he is able to change as the situation changes, to break habits, to face indecision and changes in conditions without undue stress. He is not threatened by the unexpected as rigid, inflexible people are.

Frank Goble

H. P. Lovecraft

Every beauty which is seen here by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all are come.

Michelangelo

The advantage of love at first sight is that it delays a second sight.

Natalie Clifford Barney

Expectations are a form of first-class truth: If people believe it, it's true.

Bill Gates

Fashion is made to become unfashionable.

Coco Chanel
