You don't know how good you are until you actually get out on a bike and get riding.

Everyone has a success mechanism and a failure mechanism. The failure mechanism goes off by itself. The success mechanism only goes off with a goal. Every time we write down and talk about a goal we push the button to start the success mechanism.

Charles ''Tremendous'' Jones

Nature's lay idiot, I taught thee to love.

John Donne

There's nothing that allays an angry mind So soon as a sweet beauty.

John Fletcher

We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.

Albert Einstein

Nothing seems more like a whorehouse to me than a museum. In it you find the same equivocal aspect, the same frozen quality.

Michel Leiris

Facts as facts do not always create a spirit of reality, because reality is a spirit.

G. K. Chesterton

He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.

Sun Tzu

Einstein said that genius begins where rules end. He did however help invent nuclear weapons inadvertently and we've plunged toward a new world order since then as a result. One world or none - it seems the path cannot change. I'd go with Robert Frost on taking the path not traveled.

James Dye

Life is a very orderly thing, but in fiction there is a huge liberation and freedom. I can do what I like. There's nothing that says I can't write a page of full stops. There is no 'should' involved, although you wouldn't know that from literary reviews and critics.

Kate Atkinson

Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by.

Lou Holtz

It's just that I learned a while ago that the best way to get people to like you is not to like them too much.

John Green

War grows out of the desire of the individual to gain advantage at the expense of his fellow man.

Napoleon Hill
