I'm a sports guy. Football, God, I flip out.

In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that's none of the law's business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he'd better have the rooms available.

Charlotte Observer

Take hope from the heart of man and you make him a beast of prey.

Ouida

Team sports aren't my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don't need a partner to go running, you don't need a particular place, like in tennis, just a pair of trainers.

Haruki Murakami

I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality. Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

Jean-Francois Lyotard

Martin Fleischmann

The witty woman is a tragic figure in American life. Wit destroys eroticism and eroticism destroys wit, so women must choose between taking lovers and taking no prisoners.

Florence King

Spend enough time around success and failure, and you learn a reverence for possibility.

Dale Dauten

A judge is not supposed to know anything about the facts of life until they have been presented in evidence and explained to him at least three times.

Lord Chief Justice Parker

Every burned book enlightens the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Democracy: In which you say what you like and do what you're told.
