If mass communications blend together harmoniously, and often unnoticeably, art, politics, religion, and philosophy with commercials, they bring these realms of culture to their common denominator -- the commodity form. The music of the soul is also the music of salesmanship. Exchange value, not truth value, counts.

Herbert Marcuse

The whole business of your life overwhelms you when you live alone. One's stupefied by it. To get rid of it you try to daub some of it off on to people who come to see you, and they hate that. To be alone trains one for death.

LouisFerdinand Celine

The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.

Oscar Wilde

To describe happiness is to diminish it.

Stendhal

...the more he did nothing, the less time he had to do anything.

Leo Tolstoy

I don't think that a leader can control, to any great extent, his destiny. Very seldom can he step in and change the situation if the forces of history are running in another direction.

Richard M. Nixon

I think that maybe if women and children were in charge we would get somewhere.

James Thurber

My fastest time in high school was a 4:29 mile. I think cross-country has something to do with my longevity in my business. When you're in an eight-mile race, you never give up.

Alice Cooper

Remember that the horse that finishes a neck ahead wins the race.

Source Unknown

I write when I'm inspired, and I see to it that I'm inspired at nine o'clock every morning.

Peter De Vries

A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.

Ramakrishna

Dreams become reality when we put our minds to it.

Queen Latifah
