The artist in me cries out for design.

A troubled and afflicted mankind looks to us, pleading for us to keep our rendezvous with destiny; that we will uphold the principles of self-reliance, self-discipline, morality, and, above all, responsible liberty for every individual that we will become that shining city on a hill.

Ronald Reagan

Good art wounds as well as delights. It must, because our defenses against the truth are wound so tightly around us. But as art chips away at our defenses, it also opens us to healing potentialities that transcend intellectual games and ego-preserving strategies.

Rollo May

Aristotle

Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when we look back everything is different.

Joyce Brothers

Tragedy is like strong acid - it dissolves away all but the very gold of truth.

David Herbert Lawrence

Dwight is a sad clown. You've seen those paintings of sad clown.

Rainn Wilson

When we can say no not only to things that are wrong and sinful, but also to things pleasant, profitable, and good which would hinder and clog our grand duties and our chief work, we shall understand more fully what life is worth, and how to make the most of it.

Charles A. Stoddard

I intend to leave after my death a large fund for the promotion of the peace idea, but I am skeptical as to its results.
