The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.

None loves the messenger who brings bad news.

Sophocles

Escape? There is one unwatched way: your eyes. O Beauty! Keep me good that secret gate.

Wilfred Owen

Many men fail because they quit too soon. They lose faith when the signs are against them. They do not have the courage to hold on, to keep fighting in spite of that which seems insurmountable. If more of us would strike out and attempt the impossible, we very soon would find the truth of that old saying that nothing is impossible... abolish fear and you can accomplish anything you wish.

Dr. C. E. Welch

Pleasure may come from illusion, but happiness can come only of reality.

Sebastian Roch Nicolas Chamfort

This is how you start to get respect, by offering something that you have.

Mitch Albom

Sergei Bubka

Phil Plait

My personal feeling about science fiction is that it's always in some way connected to the real world, to our everyday world.

Elizabeth Moon

I'm tired of being treated like a second-class citizen.

Rosa Parks

I suppose there's a melancholy tone at the back of the American mind, a sense of something lost. And it's the lost world of Thomas Jefferson. It is the lost sense of innocence that we could live with a very minimal state, with a vast sense of space in which to work out freedom.

George Will
