I got a family house for everybody to live in - my mom, my sisters and I. And I made sure that it has a separate apartment downstairs for myself. Family is more important than anything. We don't come from any money. So once I get them settled in, in a nice house, then I'll branch out and see if I can get something else.

For me the diamond dawns are set In rings of beauty, And all my ways are dewy wet With pleasant duty.

John Townsend Trowbridge

There are minds so impatient of inferiority that their gratitude is a species of revenge, and they return benefits, not because recompense is a pleasure, but because obligation is a pain.

Samuel Johnson

No more war! Never again war! If you wish to be brothers, drop your weapons.

Pope Paul VI

Without free, self-respecting, and autonomous citizens there can be no free and independent nations. Without internal peace, that is, peace among citizens and between the citizens and the state, there can be no guarantee of external peace.

Vaclav Havel

Popularity is the crown of laurel which the world puts on bad art. Whatever is popular is wrong.

Oscar Wilde

The development of beauty in chess never depends on you alone. No matter how much imagination and creativity you invest, you still do not create beauty. Your opponent must react at the same highest level.

Vladimir Kramnik

In the year 2025, the best men don't run for president, they run for their lives. . . .

Stephen King

The real use of gunpowder is to make all men tall.

Thomas Carlyle

I believe that organic sex, body against body, skin area against skin area, is becoming no longer possible, simply because if anything is to have any meaning for us it must take place in terms of the values and experiences of the media landscape. What we're getting is a whole new order of sexual fantasies, involving a different order of experiences, like car crashes, like travelling in jet aircraft, the whole overlay of new technologies, architecture, interior design, communications, transport, merchandising. These things are beginning to reach into our lives and change the interior design of our sexual fantasies. We've got to recognize that what one sees through the window of the TV screen is as important as what one sees through a window on the street.

J. G. Ballard

Non-cooperation with evil is a sacred duty

Mahatma Gandhi

High premiums are being paid today not particularly for quality service or long-term building of a business but rather for making money quickly, getting rich, and getting out. And that's wrong.

Willard C. Butcher

The only possible society is oneself.

Oscar Wilde
