The depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how good I get, I'll never be as good as a wall.

I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me, bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading.

Humor is by far the most significant activity of the human brain.

Edward de Bono

I still love doing what I do, and I'm really lucky to get up in the morning and want to go to work.

Heston Blumenthal

I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it's various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.

David Byrne

Eroticism has its own moral justification because it says that pleasure is enough for me; it is a statement of the individual's sovereignty.

Mario Vargas Llosa

Don't go away. I don't want to be alone. I can't stand being alone.

Arnold Rothstein

Love is the hero of all emotions. My love for you is a superhero, and it looks great hidden behind a mask.

Jarod Kintz

The world has become sad because a puppet was once melancholy. The nihilist, that strange martyr who has no faith, who goes to the stake without enthusiasm, and dies for what he does not believe in, is a purely literary product. He was invented by Turgenev, and completed by Dostoevsky. Robespierre came out of the pages of Rousseau as surely as the People's Palace rose out debris of a novel. Literature always anticipates life. It does not copy it, but moulds it to its purpose.

Oscar Wilde

Better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.

William Arthur Ward

Barbara de Angelis

There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root, and it may be that he who bestows the largest amount of time and money on the needy is doing the most by his mode of life to produce that misery which he strives in vain to relieve.

Henry David Thoreau

It was such a relief. I lived in fear of being found out. Now it's given me a whole new mission in life.
