Innocent amusements are such as excite moderately, and such as produce a cheerful frame of mind, not boisterous mirth; such as refresh, instead of exhausting, the system; such as recur frequently, rather than continue long; such as send us back to our daily duties invigorated in body and spirit; such as we can partake of in the presence and society of respectable friends; such as consist with and are favorable to a grateful piety; such as are chastened by self-respect, and are accompanied with the consciousness that life has a higher end than to be amused.

We need a data network that can easily carry voice, instead of what we have today, a voice network struggling to carry data.

Reed Hundt

The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Elves are cool, man.

Orlando Bloom

Sometimes in life one experiences an emotion which is so strong that it is difficult to think, or to reason.

Eric Cantona

Money isn't everything but it ranks right up there with oxygen.

Rita Davenport

As always, the blessed relief of starting, a feeling that was like falling into a hole filled with bright light.As always, the glum knowledge that he would not write as well as he wanted to write. As always the terror of not being able to finish, of accelerating into a brick wall. As always, the marvelous joyful nervy feeling of journey begun.

Stephen King

Animals are considered as property only. To destroy or to abuse them, from malice to the proprietor, or with an intention injurious to his interest in them, is criminal. But the animals themselves are without protection. The law regards them not substantively. They have no RIGHTS!

Shirley Lord

The nice thing about the gallery shows is that without having to pay any money you can just go and see it.

Yoko Ono

I am certainly not an authority on love because there are no authorities on love, just those who've had luck with it and those who haven't.

Bill Cosby

To speak of morals in art is to speak of legislature in sex. Art is the sex of the imagination.

George Jean Nathan

A picture is a thing which requires as much knavery, as much malice, and as much vice as the perpetration of a crime. Make it untrue and add an accent of truth.

Edgar Degas

The illuminable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing oceantide, on which we and all the universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not: this is forever very literally a miracle; a thing to strike us dumb, for we have no word to speak about it.

Thomas Carlyle, On Heroes, HeroW
