When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

Kahlil Gibran

The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they make the earth wholesome. They who lived with them found life glad and nutritious. Life is sweet and tolerable only in our belief in such society.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I was really lucky. My gal pal was my mom.

Ana Ortiz

Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.

Benjamin Franklin

I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future.

Tadao Ando

I have hair that I audition with, my sitcom hair which is a curly wig. I have my long chic hair that I wear to my son's school so they know I'm not playing around. I always tell people that my husband gets a different woman every night when I come home from 'The View.' Hair makes you feel a certain way, like putting a power suit on.

Life's experiences are intended to make you eventually face yourself. Face reality!

Harold Sherman

...in war, they will kill some of us; we shall destroy all of them

Thomas Jefferson

The miser, starving his brother's body, starves also his own soul, and at death shall creep out of his great estate of injustice, poor and naked and miserable.

Theodore Parker

I love potatoes - they're my favorite food.

This, I submit, is the freedom of a real education, of learning how to be well-adjusted. You get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn't. You get to decide what to worship.Because here's something else that's weird but true: in the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship -- be it JC or Allah, be it Yahweh or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles -- is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It's the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It's been codified as myths, proverbs, clich

David Foster Wallace, Kenyon Com

Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.
