It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is always the first handicap to any creative functioning.

Love is a friendhip with erotic moments.

Antonio Gala

People only worry about the uncanny for about a week; that's the end of their attention span. After that, suspicions turn into shtick.

Scott Westerfeld

I've done the most awful rubbish in order to have somewhere to go in the morning.

Richard Burton

The worst thing that could possibly happen to anybody would be to not be used for anything by anybody. Thank you for using me, even though I didn't want to be used by anybody.

Kurt Vonnegut

Without international participation, jobs and emissions will simply shift overseas to countries that require few, if any, environmental protections, harming the global environment as well as the U.S. economy.

Fred Upton

The enchanting charms of this sublime science reveal only to those who have the courage to go deeply into it.

Carl Friedrich Gauss

A man may be a tough, concentrated, successful money-maker and never contribute to his country anything more than a horrible example. A manager may be tough and practical, squeezing out, while the going is good, the last ounce of profit and dividend, and may leave behind him an exhausted industry and a legacy of industrial hatred. A tough manager may never look outside his own factory walls or be conscious of his partnership in a wider world. I often wonder what strange cud such men sit chewing when their working days are over, and the accumulating riches of the mind have eluded them.

Robert Menzies

Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.

Joaquin Setanti

Jealousy is indeed a poor medium to secure love, but it is a secure medium to destroy one

The development of science and of the creative activities of the spirit in general requires still another kind of freedom, which may be characterised as inward freedom. It is this freedom of the spirit which consists in the interdependence of thought from the restrictions of authoritarian and social prejudices as well as from unphilosophical routinizing and habit in general. This inward freedom is an infrequent gift of nature and a worthy object for the individual.

Albert Einstein

... And God, who studies each separate soul,
