I have a very big sweet tooth and I love treating myself to something that I wouldn't necessarily eat during the tournament such as a nice-sized cake.

We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.

Carl Jung

I have never admitted that I am more than twenty-nine, or thirty at the most. Twenty-nine when there are pink shades, thirty when there are not.

Oscar Wilde, Lady Windemere's Fa

To me, fair friend, you never can be old. For as you were when first your eye I eyed. Such seems your beauty still.

William Shakespeare

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.

Henry David Thoreau

My work is a game -- a very serious game.

M. C. (Maurits Cornelis) Escher

I got up one morning and couldn't find my socks, so I called Information. She said, Hello, Information. I said, I can't find my socks. She said, They're behind the couch. And they were!

Steven Wright

Reason is the natural order of truth but imagination is the organ of meaning.

C. S. Lewis

There is an aesthetic dimension to virtue. In real life, as opposed to in celluloid, we are attracted to the good and repelled by the bad. Even the woman who says she prefers the archetypal 'bad boy' probably doesn't actually like it when he is bad toward her.

John Dickson

I have never developed indigestion from eating my words.

Sir Winston Churchill

I remember once I read a book on mental illness and there was a nurse that had gotten sick. Do you know what she died from? From worrying about the mental patients not being able to get their food. She became a mental patient.

Ornette Coleman

Equality consists in the same treatment of similar persons.

Aristotle

Divorce is probably as painful as death.

William Shatner
