Mario Vargas Llosa

A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am more the inspirational type of speller. I work on hunches rather than mere facts, and the result is sometimes open to criticism by purists.

Robert Benchley

Aristotle

My relationship with my mom is so amazing. We never got to have that stage that people go through, like when you're 13 and you think you're too cool for your parents. When you're embarrassed by them and stuff. We never went through that because I was constantly working and she constantly had to be there.

Hilary Duff

Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.

Steve Jobs
