What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

That is her style of beauty.

George Orwell

A man is a critic when he cannot be an artist, in the same way that a man becomes an informer when he cannot be a soldier.

Gustave Flaubert

Either God is in the whole of nature, with no gaps, or He's not there at all.

L. A. Coulson

He who would dig right down to the truth must simplify; his faith must be brutally simple, or he is lost. Laugh at the subtle shades and distinctions of the rhetoricians and the specialist physicians. Say aloud: This is what is, and then, That is what must be.

Henri Barbusse

Mighty in deeds and not in words.

Anon.

I mean, I do wear a wedding ring and take it off when I shoot.

Henry Ian Cusick

Remember, that money is of the prolific, generating nature. Money can beget money, and its offspring can beget more, and so on. Five shillings turned is six, turned again it is seven and threepence, and so on, till it becomes a hundred pounds. The more there is of it, the more it produces every turning, so that the profits rise quicker and quicker. He that kills a breeding sow, destroys all her offspring to the thousandth generation. He that murders a crown, destroys all that it might have produced, even scores of pounds.

Benjamin Franklin, Advice to a Y

A singer for me is more like someone who is standing alone with a microphone like Scott Walker, rather than someone who is bashing a plank and is spitting all over a microphone.

Graham Coxon

Be not afraid of greatness some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

William Shakespeare

One must pass through the circumference of time before arriving at the center of opportunity.

Baltasar Gracian

Gods don't like people not doing much work. People who aren't busy all the time might start to think.

Terry Pratchett

My family knew, but most of the sporting world did not realize that my right hand been some 75% paralyzed.
