It is human nature to look away from illness. We don't enjoy a reminder of our own fragile mortality. That's why writing on the Internet has become a life-saver for me. My ability to think and write have not been affected. And on the Web, my real voice finds expression.

Austere perseverance, hash and continuous... rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistible greater with time.

Johann von Goethe

Indifferent to truth, willing to use police-state tactics and vulgar libels against inconvenient witnesses, hopeless on health care, and flippant and fast and loose with national security: The case against Hillary Clinton for president is open-and-shut. Of course, against all these considerations you might prefer the newly fashionable and more media-weighty notion that if you don't show her enough appreciation, and after all she's done for us, she may cry.

Christopher Hitchens

I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

Alice Roosevelt Longworth

Yet what are all such gaieties to me whose thoughts are full of indices and surds?

Lewis Carroll

Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.

Charles de Gaulle

Do you know how to digest your food? Do you know how to fill your lungs with air? Do you know how to establish, regulate and direct the metabolism of your body -- the assimilation of foodstuff so that it builds muscles, bones and flesh? No, you don't know how consciously, but there is a wisdom within you that does know.

Donald Curtis

Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue.

Benjamin Haydon

I had never really dated. I've always been a relationship kind of person.

Bruce Willis

Millions of Americans find community, comfort and support in their faith.

Sheila Jackson Lee

If eighty percent of your sales come from twenty percent of all of your items, just carry those twenty percent.

Stew Leonard

In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there.

John F. Kennedy

Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
