I hate ready-made suits, button-down collars, and sports shirts.

Slumps are like a soft bed. They're easy to get into and hard to get out of.

Johnny Bench

It can even come about that a created will cancels out, not perhaps the exertion, but the result of divine action; for in this sense, God himself has told us that God wishes things which do not happen because man does not wish them! Thus the rights of men are immense, and his greatest misfortune is to be unaware of them.

Joseph De Maistre

I try to be a hard boiled sometimes. My kids see right through it. I'm acting. It's always, 'When I say you'll be back at 11, that means 11, not 11.15. Do you hear me!?' Then, 'Yeah, Dad.'

Liam Neeson

I think a lot of times we don't pay enough attention to people with a positive attitude because we assume they are naive or stupid or unschooled.

Amy Adams

It is much more easy to accuse the one sex than to excuse the other.

Michel de Montaigne

Since I have come to America, I am often asked whether my next novel will be set in America. I don't think it will. I think I will be living in America for some time to come, but while living in America, I would like to write about Japanese society from the outside.

Haruki Murakami

We have had for breakfast, toasts, cakes, a yorkshire pie, a piece of beef about the size and much the shape of my portmanteau, tea, coffee, ham and eggs...

Charles Dickens

Books are the ever burning lamps of accumulated wisdom.

George William Curtis

Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.

Christian Lous Lange

Le Corbusier was the sort of relentlessly rational intellectual that only France loves wholeheartedly, the logician who flies higher and higher in ever-decreasing circles until, with one last, utterly inevitable induction, he disappears up his own fundamental aperture and emerges in the fourth dimension as a needle-thin umber bird.

Thomas Wolfe

The General Strike has taught the working class more in four days than years of talking could have done.

Arthur Balfour

Simple the life, simpler will be your instincts, the laws that govern universe will obey your simplicity.
