You cannot function in an unction you don't take action on.

And I will show that nothing can happen more beautiful than death.

Walt Whitman

Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included.

Karl Marx

Working on a new idea is kind of like getting married. Then a new idea comes along and you think, 'Man, I'd really like to go out with her.' But you can't. At least not until the old idea is finished.

Stephen King

The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.

Henri Bergson

No greater thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

Epictetus

Study until twenty-five, investigation until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.

Thomas Moore

We think a happy life consists in tranquility of mind.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

I found you essay to be good and original. However, the part that was original was not good and the part that was good was not original.

Samuel Johnson

Changes start occurring when budgets are cut.

Gore Vidal, for instance, once languidly told me that one should never miss a chance either to have sex or to appear on television. My efforts to live up to this maxim have mainly resulted in my passing many unglamorous hours on off-peak cable TV. It was actually Vidal's great foe William F. Buckley who launched my part-time television career, by inviting me on to when I was still quite young, and giving me one of the American Right's less towering intellects as my foil. The response to the show made my day, and then my week. Yet almost every time I go to a TV studio, I feel faintly guilty. This is pre-eminently the 'soft' world of dream and illusion and 'perception': it has only a surrogate relationship to the 'hard' world of printed words and written-down concepts to which I've tried to dedicate my life, and that surrogate relationship, while it, too, may be 'verbal,' consists of being glib rather than fluent, fast rather than quick, sharp rather than pointed. It means reveling in the fact that I have a meretricious, want-it-both-ways side. My only excuse is to say that at least I do not pretend that this is not so.

Christopher Hitchens

I need that aggressive attitude to play my music and more men have that attitude than women.

Lita Ford

No way, no how did I break into NORAD. That's a complete myth. And I never attempted to access anything considered to be classified government systems.
