Creative without strategy is called 'art.' Creative with strategy is called 'advertising.'

The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.

Willa Sibert Cather

I have a map of the United States...actual size. It says, Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile. I spent last summer folding it. I also have a fullsize map of the world. I hardly ever unroll it.

Steven Wright

It is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray.

Billy Graham

Now, I have always wanted to agree with Lady Bracknell that there is no earthly use for the upper and lower classes unless they set each other a good example. But I shouldn't pretend that the consensus itself was any of my concern. It was absurd and slightly despicable, in the first decade of Thatcher and Reagan, to hear former and actual radicals intone piously against 'the politics of confrontation.' I suppose that, if this collection has a point, it is the desire of one individual to see the idea of confrontation kept alive.

Christopher Hitchens

I once tried to commit suicide by jumping off a building... Ichanged my mind at the last minute, so I just flipped over andlanded on my feet. Two little kittens nearby saw what happenedand one turned to the other and said, See, that's how it'sdone.

Steven Wright

Poor Mr. Zum now he was un-fun and had no funs left who wanted to entertain him. What a qerbackle, what an un-fun pickle to be in.

Coco J. Ginger

When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other, it seems to me, in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents or husband, that they belong to each other in the name of Nature, and are lovers by Divine right, in spite of human convention or the laws.

Nicolas Chamfort

I have traveled a long road from the battlefield to the peace table.

Moshe Dayan

I began to fear that Mos Def was being treated as a product, not a person, so I've been going by Yasiin since '99. At first it was just for friends and family, but now I'm declaring it openly.

Mos Def

The test of leadership for David Cameron was actually to bring the British Conservative Party back in to the mainstream.

David Miliband

The weather-cock on the church spire, though made of iron, would soon be broken by the storm-wind if it did not understand the noble art of turning to every wind.

Heinrich Heine

The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.
