Ruth Gordon

A man is related to all nature.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I hate it when my leg falls asleep. I know that means it's going to be up all night.

Steven Wright

Life is short, and Art long; the crisis fleeting; experience perilous, and decision difficult. The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, the attendants, and externals cooperate.

Hippocrates

I've tried word processors, but I think I'm too old a dog to use one.

Dee Brown

Thomas Jefferson

I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.
