It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.

If you write a novel alone you sit and you weave a little narrative. And it's O.K., but it's of no account.

V. S. Naipaul

I went through a period of great rebellion within my family, when I was about 9 or 10. I was mad, I had no focus, had no real interest in anything, and so I started to do things that were just rebellious and stupid.

Kevin Spacey

The scientific imagination always restrains itself within the limits of probability.

Thomas Huxley

He that hopes to look back hereafter with satisfaction upon past years must learn to know the present value of single minutes, and endeavour to let no particle of time fall useless to the ground

Samuel Johnson

The life of man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible foes, tortured by weariness and pain, towards a goal that few can hope to reach, and where none may tarry long.

Bertrand Russell

The human body is the best picture of the human soul.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

I love my songs, let's not get crazy here.

Ronnie Spector

Ben Elton

To me luxury is to be at home with my daughter, and the occasional massage doesn't hurt.

Olivia Newton-John

So-called austerity, the stoic injunction, is the path towards universal destruction. It is the old, the fatal, competitive path. Pull in your belt is a slogan closely related to gird up your loins, or the guns-butter metaphor.

Percy Wynham Lewis

My goal is to give girls and boys a different idea of expression. It's not always about looking pretty or cute. It's about expressing yourself however that may be, even if that's being silly or goofy or weird.

Sia

Human nature is what Heaven supplies.
