Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.

I hate those e-books. They can not be the future... they may well be... I will be dead.

Maurice Sendak

The reviewer can draw free-floating disagreeable associations to a book by implying that the book is completely unimportant without saying exactly why, and carefully avoiding any clear images that could capture the reader's full attention.

William S. Burroughs

I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'

Oliver Wendell Holmes

My whole life is about winning. I don't lose often. I almost never lose.

Donald Trump

We would never travel on the sea if we had no hope of telling about it later... We lose our lives with joy provided people talk about it... Even philosophers wish for admirers.

Blaise Pascal

We need to accept that we won't always make the right decisions, that we'll screw up royally sometimes - understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it's part of success.

Arianna Huffington

In Cyberspace, the 1st Amendment is a local ordinance.

John Perry Barlow

Sex education is legitimate in that girls cannot be taught soon enough how children don't come into the world.

Karl Kraus

The greatest purveyor of violence in the world : My own Government, I can not be Silent.

Martin Luther King Jr.
