Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.

Albert Camus

Software comes from heaven when you have good hardware.

Ken Olsen

You too must seek the sun...

Allen Ginsberg

We have been educated to such a fine -- or dull -- point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it's all about. We don't trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation. In short, the blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.

Henry Miller

Dignity is not negotiable. Dignity is the honor of the family.

Vartan Gregorian

I wear a necklace, cause I wanna know when I'm upside down.

Mitch Hedberg

Sylvia Browne

Kim Il-sung

I mean, the part you don't like, I mean, that's the only part. That's the part no one likes, and that is the criticisms, and the unfair criticisms, I might add, of my husband. But that's also just a fact of life in politics.

Laura Bush

Never fire a laser at a mirror.

Larry Niven

Shouldn't Democrats insist that Sen. Durbin step down as their whip, the number two man in their leadership?

Bill Kristol

Friends are thieves of time.

Francis Bacon
