I'd never really thought about it before, but now you ask I can see that how my parents handled money definitely affected my relationship with it.

In my experience, if you have to keep the lavatory door shut by extending your left leg, it's modern architecture.

Skillful listening is the best remedy for loneliness, loquaciousness, and laryngitis.

William Arthur Ward

That kind of life is most happy which affords us most opportunities of gaining our own self-esteem

Samuel Johnson

Being precedes Truth, and... Truth precedes the Good.

Josef Pieper

The immortality of the soul is a matter which is of so great consequence to us and which touches us so profoundly that we must have lost all feeling to be indifferent about it.

Blaise Pascal

It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works.

Terry Pratchett

By the definition accepted in the United States, any person with even a small amount of Negro Blood... is a Negro. Logically, it would be exactly as justifiable to say that any person with even a small amount of white blood is white. Why do they say one rather than the other? Because the former classification suits the convenience of those making the classification. Society, in short, regards as true those systems that produce the desired results. Science seeks only the most generally useful systems of classification; these it regards for the time being, until more useful classifications are invented, as true.

S. I. Hayakawa

Sometimes they are a matter of luck the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience, waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates.

Bill Brandt

The best things and best people rise out of their separateness; I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.

Robert Frost

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

Helen Keller

People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.

Andre Maurois
