I had a big Akita, Yoshi, who was fabulous. I loved him. We lost him when he was 12, and I've never been able to replace him. Normally, most people lose a pet and get another and keep going on. But it just felt wrong to me it felt disloyal.

We all live in the protection of certain cowardices which we call our principles.

Mark Twain

All thought is naught but a footnote to Plato.

George Santayana

Get it into your head once and for all, my simple and very fainthearted fellow, that what fools call humanness is nothing but a weakness born of fear and egoism; that this chimerical virtue, enslaving only weak men, is unknown to those whose character is formed by stoicism, courage, and philosophy.

Marquis de Sade

We're five people, five individuals who came together to create something, to make music and to complete each other musically, to form a perfect circle.

Maynard James Keenan

The greatest things are accomplished by individual people, not by committees or companies.

Micheal Mescon

Humility has no home in celebrity. Be humble in your direct dealings with people, but unafraid to trumpet your greatness to the public.

Nkrumah Farrar

The advantage of the emotions is that they lead us astray, and the advantage of science is that it is not emotional.

Oscar Wilde

Yet Byron never made tea as you do, who fill the pot so that when you put the lid on the tea spills over. There is a brown pool on the table--it is running among your books and papers. Now you mop it up, clumsily, with your pocket-hankerchief. You then stuff your hankerchief back into your pocket--that is not Byron; that is so essentially you that if I think of you in twenty years' time, when we are both famous, gouty and intolerable, it will be by that scene: and if you are dead, I shall weep.

Virginia Woolf

Is not marriage an open question, when it is alleged, from the beginning of the world, that such who are in the institution wish to get out and such as are out wish to get in.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In a spiritually sensitive culture, then, it might well be that age is something to be admired or envied.

Rowan D. Williams

I was caught in a love triangle with one dead side.

John Green
