Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness.

My mother groaned, my father wept, into the dangerous world I leapt; helpless, naked, piping loud, like a fiend hid in a cloud.

William Blake

I feel so thankful that I'm able to be a part of something that I love to wake up and run to work every day.

Alexander Wang

Ten men waiting for me at the door? Send one of them home, I'm tired.

Mae West

To sit and contemplate - to remember the faces of women without desire, to be pleased by the great deeds of men without envy, to be everything and everywhere in sympathy and yet content to remain where and what you are.

Virginia Woolf

Popular medicine and popular morality belong together and ought not to be evaluated so differently as they still are: both are the most dangerous pseudo-sciences.

Friedrich Nietzsche

How nice -- to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.

Kurt Vonnegut

What is called vainglory is self-satisfaction, nourished by nothing but the good opinion of the multitude, so that when that is withdrawn, the satisfaction, that is to say, the chief good which every one loves, ceases. For this reason those who glory in the good opinion of the multitude anxiously and with daily care strive, labour, and struggle to preserve their fame. For the multitude is changeable and fickle, so that fame, if it be not preserved, soon passes away. As every one, moreover, is desirous to catch the praises of the people, one person will readily destroy the fame of another; and, consequently, as the object of contention is what is commonly thought to be the highest good, a great desire arises on the part of every one to keep down his fellows by every possible means, and he who at last comes off conqueror boasts more because he has injured another person than because he has profited himself. This glory of self-satisfaction, therefore, is indeed vain, for it is really no glory.

Baruch (_Benedict de) Spinoza, E

Be virtuous and you will be eccentric.

Mark Twain

Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could.

Abigail Adams

Science is always inquiring.

Thabo Mbeki

And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.

James Madison

Many iOS developers model App Store pricing after mass-market superhits. Would you enter the restaurant business by mimicking McDonalds?
