The future which we hold in trust for our own children will be shaped by our fairness to other people's children.

A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial.

Clifton Fadiman

What I do with my life is of my own doing. I live it the best way I can.

Frank Sinatra

I want my movies to be audience experiences. As much as I like Michael Haneke, I'm not going to make a Haneke film. That's just not in my DNA.

Jason Reitman

Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.

John Portman

Shel Silverstein

Example has more followers than reason. We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and approximate to the characters we most admire.

Christian Nevell Bovee

There is no scientific reason to think that we, even with space travel, are going to survive as a species for ever, certainly not by biting off the hand that feeds us, which is exactly what we are doing.

Lynn Margulis

Nervousness kill us... because we think we have only one opportunity that is in the Present and we don't think about the future! We loose our balance.

Vikram Roy

I happened to say, it would be terrible if he should not find a speedy opportunity of returning to London, and be confined in so dull a place. JOHNSON: Don't, Sir, accustom yourself to use big words for little matters. It would not be terrible, though I were to be detained some time here.

Samuel Johnson

I was lucky enough to see with my own eyes the recent stock-market crash, where they lost several million dollars, a rabble of dead money that went sliding off into the sea. Never as then, amid suicides, hysteria, and groups of fainting people, have I felt the sensation of real death, death without hope, death that is nothing but rottenness, for the spectacle was terrifying but devoid of greatness... I felt something like a divine urge to bombard that whole canyon of shadow, where ambulances collected suicides whose hands were full of rings.

Federico Garcia Lorca

Seberapa indah mimpi, jika tetap mimpi?

Seno Gumira Ajidarma

The real meditation is... the meditation on one's identity. Ah, voil? une chose!! You try it. You try finding out why you're you and not somebody else. And who in the blazes are you anyhow? Ah, voil? une chose!

Ezra Pound
