The imagination equips us to perceive reality when it is not fully materialized.

I'd rather be hissed at for a good verse, than applauded for a bad one.

Thomas Carlyle

George A. Romero

I'm a person that just likes to speak the truth, and I don't understand why in America it's such a big deal that we won't read the Koran and we won't look at history.

Nikita Khrushchev

Publilius Syrus

Arnold Newman

Man is a gaming animal. He must always be trying to get the better in something or other.
