There are German songs which can make a stranger to the language cry.

I do not know what she was thinking, but I was remembering the years we have lived together, yet never together, and what a waste they have been--of each other, and of love, which is the most unpardonable waste there is. Love and time, those are the only two things in all the world and all of life that cannot be bought, but only spent.

Gary Jennings

Yes, sir, from Constantinople, or from the Brazils; from Turk or christian; from black or white; from the dey of Algiers or the bey of Tunis; from the devil himself, if he wore a crown, we should receive a minister.

Henry Clay

But now, today, we don't know if Over the River is truly the next project to be realized, because something very nice happened to our life in November in New York.

Christo

This is perhaps the hardest truth of any to grasp. Do we wake up every morning amazed that we are loved by God?

David Ford

We are pagans. We deify each other.

Lara Biyuts

One of the satisfactions of a genius is his will-power and obstinacy.

Man Ray

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Swami Vivekananda

The abortionist who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make sure all its parts have been torn from its mother's body can hardly doubt whether it is a human being.

Ronald Reagan

All sciences are vain and full of errors that are not born of Experience, the mother of all Knowledge.

Leonardo da Vinci

A well-spent day brings happy sleep.

Leonardo da Vinci

Music is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that's kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing.

Ice Cube

The writer has a grudge against society, which he documents with accounts of unsatisfying sex, unrealized ambition, unmitigated loneliness, and a sense of local and global distress. The square, overpopulation, the bourgeois, the bomb and the cocktail party are variously identified as sources of the grudge. There follows a little obscenity here, a dash of philosophy there, considerable whining overall, and a modern satirical novel is born.
