A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.

I'd skip school regularly to see movies - even in the morning, in the small Parisian theaters that opened early.

Francois Truffaut

I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.

Elayne Boosler

Faith is belief without proof. Faith is fine, but don't call it science.

Loyd Auerbach

The man who truly loves his work returns to it after the briefest rest with a curious kind of voluptuousness. When he is completely absorbed in his job, the end of work seems like the end of life.

Andre Maurois

I like my coffee like I like my women. In a plastic cup.

Eddie Izzard

The superstition of science scoffs at the superstition of faith.

James A. Froude

To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.

Miguel de Unamuno

I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, do we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.

William Shakespeare

The strongest have their moments of fatigue

Friedrich Nietzsche

A woman's love is strange and cruel and nearly always clear-sighted, love that sees is always horrible love, and she knew walking away was right and so she walked, dismissing the cries as only another part of the boy's development, like smiles from gas or scraped knees.

Stephen King

Design is not for philosophy -- it's for life.

Issey Miyake

The bad apples are at the top. They enjoy murdering the innocent people.

James Dye
