I don't have a religion. I believe in a God. I don't know what it looks like but it's MY god. My own interpretation of the supernatural.

He that has given today may, if he so please, take away tomorrow.

Horace

Practically everybody in New York has half a mind to write a book, and does.

Groucho Marx

How to make our ideas clear, Popular Science, January 1878

Charles Sanders Peirce

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned.

William Butler Yeats

We have needed to define ourselves by reclaiming the words that define us. They have used language as weapons. When we open ourselves to what they say and how they say it, our narrow prejudices evaporate and we are nourished and armed.

Selma James

You should point to the whole man Jesus and say, That is God.

Martin Luther

It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Donald Knuth

As I define it, rock and roll is dead. The attitude isn't dead, but the music is no longer vital. It doesn't have the same meaning. The attitude, though, is still very much alive -- and it still informs other kinds of music.

David Byrne

The world will never be long without some good reason to hate the unhappy; their real faults are immediately detected, and if those are not sufficient to sink them into infamy, an additional weight of calumny will be super added.

Samuel Johnson

Stay focused, go after your dreams and keep moving toward your goals.

LL Cool J

The story I am writing exists, written in absolutely perfect fashion, some place, in the air. All I must do is find it, and copy it.

Jules Renard
