I don't need the fillers, additives, excessive amounts of sugars, fats, salts and other measures taken to taint the natural goodness of real food.

Only mastery and sovereignty bring glory, and only slavery brings shame.

Blaise Pascal

Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.

Jules de Gautier

Throw your heart over the fence and the rest will follow.

Norman Vincent Peale

Sorry, my mind was wandering. One time my mind went all the wayto Venus on mail order and I couldn't pay for it.

Steven Wright

A writer must always try to have a philosophy and he should also have a psychology and a philology and many other things. Without a philosophy and a psychology and all these various other things he is not really worthy of being called a writer. I agree with Kant and Schopenhauer and Plato and Spinoza and that is quite enough to be called a philosophy. But then of course a philosophy is not the same thing as a style.

Gertrude Stein

Coral was reminded of the strident brushwork and wild colours of the Fauvist paintings that filled her mother's gallery, which Coral had always loved. The scene was now set for the show to begin: the drama in which the broad, breath-taking landscapes of Africa were the stage and the animals the actors.

Hannah Fielding

Life is a continual process of remaking ourselves.

No power in society, no hardship in your condition can depress you, keep you down, in knowledge, power, virtue, influence, but by your own consent.

William Ellery Channing

I believe in trying to get a balance between individual freedom on the one hand and social responsibility on the other.

Chris Patten

We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.

Barack Obama

I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me; the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart.

Jerome K. Jerome

What do sad complaints avail if the offense is not cut down by punishment.

Horace
