Friends are like melons; shall I tell you why? To find one good you must one hundred try.

I do love a man who can cook.

Emma Bunton

Max de Pree

Like sheep which, having been driven to a pasture, can now spread out at their leisure, the clouds began to drift. Afternoon sunlight sliced through into the still waters. The boomerang hung in the sky, and the boy thought he would have to find a new word for the way the colours glowed. In the meantime, he looked down at the water and tried out the word he'd been taught by his grandfather, who'd been taught it by grandfather, and which had been kept for thousands of years for when it would been needed. It meant . It had, he thought, been well worth waiting for.

Terry Pratchett

Every man supposes himself not to be fully understood or appreciated.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Paul Bloom

Democracy, finally, rests on a higher power than Parliament. It rests on an informed and cultivated and alert public opinion. The Members of Parliament are only representatives of the citizens. They cannot represent apathy and indifference. They can play the part allotted to them only if they represent intelligence and public spiritness.http://www.nalis.gov.tt/Independence/IndepSpeech.htm

Dr. Eric Eustace Williams, Speec

One of the troubles about vanity is that it grows with what it feeds on. The more you are talked about, the more you will wish to be talked about

Bertrand Russell

The research rat of the future allows experimentation without manipulation of the real world. This is the cutting edge of modeling technology.

John Spencer

The master minds of all nations, in all ages, have sprung in affluent multitude from the mass of the nation, and from the mass of the nation only -- not from its privileged classes.

Mark Twain

The last few years I became a lot more into sports. Growing up, the sports I liked were independent sports, like skateboarding. I was really into skateboarding, and not necessarily team televised sports.
