The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.

I consider it an extremely dangerous doctrine, because the more likely we are to assume that the solution comes from the outside, the less likely we are to solve our problems ourselves.

Carl Sagan

While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.

Amos Bronson Alcott

I think Mr. Clarke had a tendency to interfere too much with the activities of the CIA, and our leadership at the senior level let him interfere too much. So criticism from him I kind of wear as a badge of honor.

Michael Scheuer

My mum told me to have patience. It's about realising that when things aren't going the way you want them to, or you don't have inspiration, it will come.

Vanessa Paradis

It takes years for me to trust I know that about myself. A lot of it is because I am so private, and so reluctant to make myself vulnerable.

Michelle Pfeiffer

The technology that threatens to kill off books as we know them - the 'physical book,' a new phrase in our language - is also making the physical book capable of being more beautiful than books have been since the middle ages.

Art Spiegelman

It will go down in history as a turning point for the music industry. This is landmark stuff. I can't overestimate it!

Steve Jobs

Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.

Jean Baudrillard

I'm gonna live till I die.

Frank Sinatra

History is the myth, the true myth, of man's fall made manifest in time.

Henry Miller, Plexus, 1949

Country music is three chords and the truth.

Harlan Howard

A substandard education will always result in a substandard nation.
