All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.

Life is a perpetual instruction in cause and effect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it.

David Lee Roth

Then hope unlooked-for came so suddenly to Eomer's heart, and with it the bite of care and fear renewed, that he said no more, but turned and went swiftly from the hall.

J.R.R. Tolkien

He knew everything about big Mike Ainsel in this moment, and he liked Mike Ainsel. Mike Ainsel had none of the problems that Shadow had. Ainsel had never been married. Mike Ainsel had never been interrogated on a freight train by Mr. Wood an Mr. Stone. Televisions did not speak to Mike Ainsel (You want to see Lucy's tits? asked a voice in his head)

Neil Gaiman

Conscience and cowardice are really the same things. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all.

Oscar Wilde

If you have a grateful heart (which is a miracle amongst you statesmen), show it by directing the bearer to the best wine in town, and pray let not this highest point of sacred friendship be performed slightly, but go about it with all due deliberation and care, as holy priests to sacrifice, or as discreet thieves to the wary performance of burglary and shop-lifting. Let your well-discerning palate (the best judge about you) travel from cellar to cellar and then from piece to piece till it has lighted on wine fit for its noble choice and my approbation.

Earl Rochester

All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.

Albert Einstein

Anybody who has gone through a life-changing experience will tell you there is a different understanding of what is real and what is important, and when you are going through different moments, you can reflect and go, 'I have been through worse.'

Delta Goodrem

When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.

Oscar Wilde

Kiss a lover, Dance a measure, Find your name And buried treasure. Face your life, It's pain, It's pleasure, Leave no path untaken.

Neil Gaiman

Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.

Theodore Roosevelt

If you're lucky like me, your relationship with your brother has resolved itself on the peaceful side of the fence and has stayed there. But if you're someone who's got a family that's all fractured and finding it hard to relate, that's a very sad place to be.

Tom Hardy
