That attitude toward women as objects may have worked for the late Sixties, but it doesn't do so now.

If my father had hugged me even once, I'd be an accountant right now.

Ray Romano

I wrote a song, but I can't read music so I don't know what itis. Every once in a while I'll be listening to the radio and Isay, I think I might have written that.

Steven Wright

Ah Life,Thou art a false truth!

Raheel Farooq

Have thy heart in heaven and thy hands upon the earth. Ascend in piety and descend in charity. For this is the Nature of Light and the way of the children.

Thomas Vaughan

The reason we all like to think so well of others is that we are all afraid for ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror. We think that we are generous because we credit our neighbour with the possession of those virtues that are likely to be a benefit to us. We praise the banker that we may overdraw our account, and find good qualities in the highwayman in the hope that he may spare our pockets. I mean everything that I have said. I have the greatest contempt for optimism. As for a spoiled life, no life is spoiled but one whose growth is arrested. If you want to mar a nature, you have merely to reform it. As for marriage, of course that would be silly, but there are other and more interesting bonds between men and women. I will certainly encourage them. They have the charm of being fashionable.

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dori

Rest, with nothing else, results in rust. It corrodes the mechanisms of the brain. The rhubarb that no one picks goes to seed.

Wilder Penfield

I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head. First I see the ball where I want it to finish, nice and white and sitting up high on the bright green grass. Then the scene quickly changes, and I see the ball going there: its path, trajectory, and shape, even its behavior on landing. Then there is a sort of fade-out, and the next scene shows me making the kind of swing that will turn the previous images into reality.

Jack Nicklaus

Time misspent in youth is sometimes all the freedom one ever has.

Anita Brookner

Giving yourself permission to lose guarantees a loss.

Pat Riley

I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated.

James Brown

Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls, which molds and develops men.

W. E. B. Du Bois

Some folks won't look up until they are flat on their backs
