Ignorance, intolerance, egotism, self-assertion, opaque perception, dense and pitiful chuckle headedness - and an almost pathetic unconsciousness of it all, that is what I was at nineteen and twenty

A horse is a thing of beauty... none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself in his splendor.

Xenophon

Nothing is built on stone; all is built on sand, but we must build as if the sand were stone.

Jorge Luis Borges

Gossip is called gossip because it's not always the truth.

Justin Timberlake

Life is our teacher. Life communicates with us all the time and it is a lesson to see how life continuously has led me to the people I need to met, to the situations I need to experience, and to the places I need to be. There has never been any real reason to worry since all small individual rivers are already on their way to the ocean, to the Whole. It is not about swimming, it is about relaxing and to float with the river in a basic trust that life already leads towards the sea of consciousness, towards the Whole.

Swami Dhyan Giten

Nobody can be successful if he doesn't love his work, love his job.

David Sarnoff

And life is a good thing for a writer. It's where we get our raw material, for a start. We quite like to stop and watch it.

Neil Gaiman

Two babies were born on the same day at the same hospital. They lay there and looked at each other. Their families came and took them away. Eighty years later, by a bizarre coincidence, they lay in the same hospital, on their deathbeds, next to each other. One of them looked at the other and said, So. What did you think?

Steven Wright

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

Charlie Chaplin

Borges said there are only four stories to tell: a love story between two people, a love story between three people, the struggle for power and the voyage. All of us writers rewrite these same stories ad infinitum.

Paulo Coelho

Beauty is like success: we can't love it for long.

Graham Greene

I thought the Vietnam war was an utter, unmitigated disaster, so it was very hard for me to say anything good about it.

George McGovern

The error arises from the learned jurists deceiving themselves and others, by asserting that government is not what it really is, one set of men banded together to oppress another set of men, but, as shown by science, is the representation of the citizens in their collective capacity.

Leo Tolstoy
