A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.

Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.

Robert C. Gallagher

Those who dance are thought mad by those who do not hear the music.

Anon.

Science, like art, religion, commerce, warfare, and even sleep, is based on presuppositions.

Gregory Bateson

Making love? It's a communion with a woman. The bed is the holy table. There I find passion -- and purification.

Omar Sharif

Any kid will run any errand for you, if you ask at bedtime.

Red Skelton

I like to be a free spirit. Some don't like that, but that's the way I am.

Princess of Wales Diana

Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.

Sir Winston Churchill

You think that being a girl is degrading, but secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you?

To love beauty is to see light.

Victor Hugo

When I hear so much impatient and irritable complaint, so much readiness to replace what we have by guardians for us all, those supermen, evoked somewhere from the clouds, whom none have seen and none are ready to name, I lapse into a dream... I see children playing on the grass, ...they are restive and quarrelsome; they cannot agree to any common plan; their play annoys them; it goes poorly. And one says, let us make Jack the master; Jack knows all about it; Jack will tell us what each is to do and we shall all agree. But Jack is like all the rest; Helen is discontented with her part and Henry with his, and soon they fall again into their old state. No, the children must learn to play by themselves; there is no Jack the master. And in the end slowly and with infinite disappointment they do learn a little; they learn to forbear, to reckon with anther, accept a little where they wanted much, to live and let live, to yield when they must yield; perhaps, we may hope, not to take all they can. But the condition is that they shall be willing at least to listen to one another, to get the habit of pooling their wishes. Somehow or other they must do this, if the play is to go on; maybe it will not, but there is no Jack, in or out of the box, who can come to straighten the game.

Judge Learned Hand

Gus and I talk about girls a lot, but we can't figure them out. They are so confusing. Like, if you look at them, they get mad. And if you don't look at them, they get mad. And if you're nice to them, they think you like them. And if you're mean to them, they think you like them. And if you do like them, they think you hate them.
