Your bad love of yourselves makes solitude a prison to you.

Abstract art is a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.

Al Capp

I'm reading a lot of different books, but I always think I have to switch it up a little bit. It's like food - everything in moderation, same with my books, same with my reading. You read books that are good for you and you learn a lot of stuff, then you read 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' which is like candy.

Shay Mitchell

Love without attachment is light.

Norman O. Brown

I sing a little bit. I got a guitar for my 16th birthday.

Jesse Plemons

Art at its most significant is a distant early warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen.

Marshall McLuhan

The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people --that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature.

James Thurber

The Bush-Cheney administration had betrayed some basic American values. So there was hunger for change.

Al Gore

Be an opener of doors.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.

Henry David Thoreau

Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then -- one day -- you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then -- one day -- you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe.

Denis Leary

Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot' than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost.

Chauncey Depew

I am infinitely grateful to the life which privileged me.

Jacky Ickx
