Every man is occasionally visited by the suspicion that the planet on which he is riding is not really going anywhere; that the Force which controls its measured eccentricities hasn't got anything special in mind. If he broods on this somber theme long enough he gets the doleful idea that the laughing children on a merry-go-round or the thin, fine hands of a lady's watch are revolving more purposely than he is.

I made that decision back in 1985. I was out here getting certified in SCUBA with Garcia in Kona and I thought to myself, this is a place to wake up in in the morning.

Bill Kreutzmann

Death is one moment, and life is so many of them.

Tennessee Williams

I stay way from that area, and there's only so many songs you can write about love, sex and death.

Peter Steele

Media is just a word that has come to mean bad journalism.

Graham Greene

He is blessed over all mortals who loses no moment of the passing life in remembering the past

Henry David Thoreau

As soon as I began to earn what might be called fairly large sums, I bought a car and began to explore the country around New York.

Kate Smith

No matter how good you are at planning, the pressure never goes away. So I don't fight it. I feed off it. I turn pressure into motivation to do my best.

Benjamin Carson

There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.

O. Henry

The closest thing I use to beauty products is the grease on the pizza from John's Pizzeria.

Mark Feuerstein

Whether we regard the Women's Liberation movement as a serious threat, a passing convulsion, or a fashionable idiocy, it is a movement that mounts an attack on practically everything that women value today and introduces the language and sentiments of political confrontation into the area of personal relationships.

Arianna Stassinopoulos

No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clich?s that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him. The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart's blood.

W. Somerset Maugham

The real difference between a man's scientific judgments about himself and the judgment of others about him is he has added sources of knowledge.
