Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meanderings, but leads none of us by the same route.

The biological evolutionary perception of life and of human qualities is radically different from that of traditional religion, whether it's Southern Baptist or Islam or any religion that believes in a supernatural supervalance over humanity.

E. O. Wilson

They do not love that do not show their love.

William Shakespeare

They can because they think they can.

Virgil

Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.

William Shakespeare

Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon.

Terry Pratchett

The Deftmenes are mad and the Dumii are sane, thought Snibril, and that's just the same as being mad except that it's quieter. If only you could mix them together, you'd end up with normal people.

Terry Pratchett

I don't care about money.

Lady Gaga

Debugging is anticipated with distaste, performed with reluctance, and bragged about forever.

Anon.

Everyone hears only what he understands.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Kiss me and you will see how important I am.

Sylvia Plath

I had a blast doing the Warped Tour, but it's good to be home, for sure.

Joan Jett

Although most of us know Vincent van Gogh in Arles and Paul Gauguin in Tahiti as if they were neighbors -- somewhat disreputable but endlessly fascinating -- none of us can name two French generals or department store owners of that period. I take enormous pride in considering myself an artist, one of the necessaries.
