May God defend me from my friends; I can defend myself from my enemies.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

What I'm doing is a dream come true but at the same time its work. It's like anything else. The only time it doesn't really feel like work to me is when I'm on stage and doing what I've prepared myself for my whole life which is to stand out in front of a crowd and sing.

Demi Moore

An old salt in an oilcloth jacket sat atop a piling, mending nets with an awl, while far out at sea a tine aeroplane winged its way towards the setting sun.

Alan Bradley

What is mind but motion in the intellectual sphere?

Oscar Wilde
