So far no one had had enough courage and intelligence to reveal me to my dear Germans. My problems are new, my psychological horizon frighteningly comprehensive, my language bold and clear; there may well be no books written in German which are richer in ideas and more independent than mine.

To walk because it is good for you warps the sould, just as it warps the soul for a man to talk for hire or because he think it his duty.

Hilaire Belloc, The Footpath Way

You can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink

Terry Pratchett

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time.

George Bernard Shaw

The kakapo is a bird out of time. If you look one in its large, round, greeny-brown face, it has a look of serenely innocent incomprehension that makes you want to hug it and tell it that everything will be all right, thought you know that it probably will not be.

Douglas Adams

Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.

Alfred Tennyson

See that the mind is honest, first; the rest may follow or not as God wills. [That] the fundamental treason to the mind ... is the one fundamental treason which the scholar's mind must not allow is the bond uniting all the Oxford people in the last resort.

Dorothy L. Sayers

Labor is the fabled magician's wand, the philosophers stone, and the cap of good fortune.

James Weldon Johnson

They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.

Orson Welles

What I've learned from different designers is that it's key to be true to who you are and your vision. That's always been my line of thinking. Working through the whole design process, I don't want to create something I wouldn't be proud to wear.

Kellan Lutz

If a State has reliable scientific information that demonstrates that a warning is needed for a particular food, then in the interest of public health, it should share that information with the FDA and petition for a new national standard.

Nathan Deal

Love is an expression and assertion of self-esteem, a response to one's own values in the person of another. One gains a profoundly personal, selfish joy from the mere existence of the person one loves. It is one's own personal, selfish happiness that one seeks, earns, and derives from love.

Ayn Rand

They love their hair because they're not smart enough to love something more interesting.

John Green
