Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlaying our hard hearts.

That means life itself is a fairy tale. Like the characters, we all live and love and search for a happily-ever-after.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.

Bjarne Stroustrup

Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.

Arthur Schopenhauer

The multitude will hardly believe the excessive force of education, and in the difference of modesty between men and women, ascribe that to nature, which is altogether owing to early instruction: Miss is scarce three years old, but she's spoke to every day to hide her leg, and rebuked in good earnest if she shows it; whilst little Master at the same age is bid to take up his coats, and piss like a man.

Bernard Mandeville

Jodi Picoult

The human mind is indeed a cave swarming with strange forms of life, most of them unconscious and unilluminated. Unless we can understand something as to how the motives that issue from this obscurity are generated, we can hardly hope to foresee or control them.

Charles Horton Cooley

There used to be a real me, but I had it surgically removed.

Peter Seller

The mark of a true MBA is that he is often wrong but seldom in doubt.

Robert Buzzell

The meaning of life is to give life meaning.
