If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

The secrets of success are a good wife and a steady job. My wife told me.

Howard Nemerov

No matter where I've been overseas, the food stinks, except in Italy.

Carmen Electra

All is one, all is different. How many natures exist in man? How many vocations? And by what chance does each man ordinarily choose what he has heard praised?

Blaise Pascal

Monotony collapses time; novelty unfolds it. You can exercise daily and eat healthily and live a long life, while experiencing a short one. If you spend your life sitting in a cubicle and passing papers, one day is bound to blend unmemorably into the next - and disappear. That's why it's so important to change routines regularly, and take vacations to exotic locales, and have as many new experiences as possible that can serve to anchor our memories. Creating new memories stretches out psychological time, and lengthens our perception of our lives.

Joshua Foer

Teach thy necessity to reason thus; There is no virtue like necessity

William Shakespeare

In philosophy class I think we finally decided that 'good' is an infinitely recursive term - it can't be defined except in terms of itself. Good is good because it's better than bad, though why it's better to be good than bad depends on how you define good, and on and on.

Orson Scott Card

When we treat man as he is, we make him worse than he is; when we treat him as if he already were what he potentially could be, we make him what he should be.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The only salvation of the world today... is the rapid dissemination of the basic values of the West, that is, the ideas of democracy, human rights, the civil society, and the free market.

Vaclav Havel

The process of writing has something infinite about it. Even though it is interrupted each night, it is one single notation.

Elias Canetti

It's a heartacheNothing but a heartacheHits you when it's too lateHits you when you're down

Bonnie Tyler

You know, in 1975 I couldn't get a job in New York City because I was American. The kitchens were predominantly run by French, Swiss, German, and basically I got laughed at. I had education, I had experience, but got laughed at because I was American.

Emeril Lagasse

True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else.

Clarence Darrow
