Every artist writes his own autobiography.

We are turning against boys and forgetting a simple truth: that the energy, competitiveness, and corporal daring of normal, decent males is responsible for much of what is right in the world.

Christina Hoff Sommers

It's funny how most people love the dead, once you're dead your made for life.

Jimi Hendrix

To live by medicine is to live horribly.

Carolus Linnaeus

The value of a principle is the number of things it will explain; and there is no good theory of disease which does not at once suggest a cure.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.

Henry David Thoreau, Walden, cha

Alone, even doing nothing, you do not waste your time. You do, almost always, in company. No encounter with yourself can be altogether sterile: Something necessarily emerges, even if only the hope of some day meeting yourself again.

E. M. Cioran

At the New York Athletic Club they serve amazing food. People go there, get healthy, and then eat themselves to death - which is, I suppose, the right way to do it.

Oliver Reed

It has always been my practice to cast a long paragraph in a single mould, to try it by my ear, to deposit it in my memory, but to suspend the action of the pen till I had given the last polish to my work.

Edward Gibbon

They say men are molded out of faults, and for the most, become much more the better; for being a little bad. Measure For Measure

William Shakespeare

Gypsy was the name my brother gave a pet turtle he had. I always thought it was so peculiar.

Joel Hodgson

I am alone I am always alone no matter what.

Marilyn Monroe

Words are alive; cut them and they bleed.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
