The average tourist wants to go to places where there are no tourists.

The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products.

Steve Jobs

I know a lot of people think I'm dumb. Well, at least I ain't no educated fool.

Leon Spinks

The future comes slowly, the present flies and the past stands still forever.

Friedrich von Schiller

Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.

Thomas Fuller

Ideas shape the course of history.

John Maynard Keynes

Conscience is the only clue that will eternally guide a man clear of all doubts and inconsistencies

That devilish Iron Horse, whose ear-rending neigh is heard throughout the town, has muddied the Boiling Spring with his foot, and he it is that has browsed off all the woods on Walden shore, that Trojan horse, with a thousand men in his belly, introduced by mercenary Greeks! Where is the country's champion, the Moore of Moore Hall, to meet him at the Deep Cut and thrust an avenging lance between the ribs of the bloated pest?

Henry David Thoreau

I see heaven's glories shine and faith shines equal.

Emily Bronte

So I've seen life as one long learning process. And if I see - you know, if I fly on somebody else's airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn't in - 21 years ago, then I'd think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on.

Richard Branson

I was very aware of office politics because I was so baffled by them. So much so goes unsaid. No one says 'you're a cheeky so-and-so,' no one says 'you're so moody,' nobody ever confronts anyone else about anything. But I'm very crass, and I'm very confrontational, and I have a temper. I had to be hyper-vigilant in every office I worked in.

Denise Mina

The true poet for me is a priest. As soon as he dons the cassock, he must leave his family.

Gustave Flaubert

You can either read something many times in order to be assured that you got it all, or else you can define your purpose and use techniques which will assure that you have met it and gotten what you need.
