My dad is like a cactus - introverted and tough. I'm a people person, like my mom, but I got my competitiveness from my dad. He came to this country from Belarus with nothing and built a real business. He's my hero for giving me that need to run a business and for having enormous confidence in me.

I can believe anything provided it is incredible.

Oscar Wilde

Time takes it all whether you want it to or not, time takes it all. Time bares it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again.

Stephen King

In seeking wisdom thou art wise in imagining that thou hast attained it - thou art a fool.

Lord Chesterfield

Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'

Robin Williams

Life is a bridge. Cross over it, but build no house on it.

Proverb

Though many have tried, no one has ever yet explained away the decisive fact that science, which can do so much, cannot decide what it ought to do.

Joseph Wood Krutch

You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.

Alan Alda

All the gossip and craziness becomes a kind of sustained narrative which, in turn, can become history. It's scary.

Barbara Kruger

A man's calling is written on his true heart, and he discovers it when he enters the frontier of his deep desires.

John Eldredge

You know what's wrong with scientific power? It's a form of inherited wealth. And you know what assholes congenitally rich people are.

Michael Crichton

His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred. Later he became conscious of his damaged wings and of their construction and he learned to think and could not fly any more because the love of flight was gone and he could only remember when it had been effortless.

Ernest Hemingway

I mean, it's not surprising, really. Once you love something, you always love it in some way. You have to. It's, like, part of you for good.
