Young people need models, not critics...

John Wooden

Spiritual favors are not always to be looked for, and not always to be relied on.

Amelia E. Barr

The ordinary politician has a very low estimate of human nature. In his daily life he comes into contact chiefly with persons who want to get something or to avoid something. Beyond this circle of seekers after privileges, individuals and organized minorities, he is aware of a large unorganized, indifferent mass of citizens who ask nothing in particular and rarely complain. The politician comes after a while to think that the art of politics is to satisfy the seekers after favors and to mollify the inchoate mass with noble sentiments and patriotic phrases.

Walter Lippmann

Joe Strummer

Mark Hoppus

Design is an unknown.

Geoffrey Beene

Maybe that's why people don't like you. You make it obvious you don't care whether people like you or not. That makses some people angry.

Haruki Murakami

Sometimes a whisper speaks volumes.

Scott Sheddan

Faster, Faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

Hunter S. Thompson

I like to do my principal research in bars, where people are more likely to tell the truth or, at least, lie less convincingly than they do in briefings and books.
