Ignorance and bungling with love are better than wisdom and skill without.

Men weary as much of not doing the things they want to do as of doing the things they do not want to do.

Eric Hoffer

The demise of Google Reader, if logical, is a reminder of how far we've come from the cuddly old 'I'm Feeling Lucky' Google days, in which there was a foreseeably-astonishing delight in the way Google's evolving design tricks anticipated what users would like.

James Fallows

Will you tell me my fault, frankly as to yourself, for I had rather wince, than die. Men do not call the surgeon to commend the bone, but to set it, Sir.

Emily Dickinson

There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change.

Albert Camus

Matthew Prior

Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.

John Wesley

This story is slightly immoral, but so, I guess, are stories based on truth

Ring Lardner

Maybe love, too, is beautiful because it has a wildness that cannot be tamed. I don't know. All I know is that passion can take you up like a house of cards in a tornado, leaving destruction in its wake. Or it can let you alone because you've built a stone wall against it, set out the armed guards to keep it from touching you. The real trick is not to let it in, but to hold on. To understand that the heart is as wide and vast as the universe, but that we come to know it best from here, this place is gravity and stability, where out feet can still touch ground.

Deb Caletti

In the state of Wisconsin it's mandated that teachers in the social sciences and hard sciences have to start giving environmental education by the first grade, through high school.

Gaylord Nelson

It is never easy to win but it is a lot easier to win when you play well. The key is winning golf tournaments when you are not playing so well. Managing your game is something that I feel that I am still learning to do.

Rory McIlroy

Retirement at sixty-five is ridiculous. When I was sixty-five I still had pimples.

George Burns

A good night's sleep, or a ten-minute brawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine.

Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine
