How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?

Look, when I started out, mainstream culture was Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Sound of Music. There was no fitting into it then and of course, there's no fitting into it now.

Bob Dylan

A jazz musician can improvise based on his knowledge of music. He understands how things go together. For a chef, once you have that basis, that's when cuisine is truly exciting.

Charlie Trotter

The art of writing is mysterious; the opinions we hold are ephemeral , and I prefer the Platonic idea of the Muse to that of Poe, who reasoned, or feigned to reason, that the writing of a poem is an act of the intelligence.

Jorge Luis Borges

I realized then that the generations may change but the strength of our nation remains solid.

Jane D. Hull

Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.

George Bernard Shaw

Man is a beautiful machine that works very badly.

H. L. Mencken

I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.

George Sand

A man is to be cheated into passion,but reasoned into truth.

John Dryden

An expert is a person who avoids the small errors while sweeping on to the grand fallacy.

Steven Weinberg

Its not how strong you are, its how firm your footing is.

Clive Ollies

I come more to Scotland than I ever used to, so I feel more connected to it, more part of the zeitgeist. You know when you realize you have a choice and I'm choosing my homeland. It's funny: when you get older these things creep up to you.

Alan Cumming

Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity.

Robert G. Ingersoll
