Georgia O'Keeffe

At no time is freedom of speech more precious than when a man hits his thumb with a hammer.

Walker Percy

There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring.

Stephen King

Graham Greene

The science of pure mathematics, in its modern developments, may claim to be the most original creation of the human spirit.

Alfred North Whitehead
