Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

The empowered mind allows problems to seed personal growth.

Steve Maraboli

It is almost always a fault of one who loves not to realize when he ceases to be loved.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.

Henry Ford

Power corrupts, but lack of power corrupts absolutely.

Adlai Stevenson

Law is a bottomless pit.

John Arbuthnot

All I can hope to do is instill great morality in my son and trust him along the way. The music he listens to or how he chooses to wear his hair doesn't define his moral compass, and if he wants to listen to country music and wear a cowboy hat too, that's fine.

Mark Hoppus

Bill Russell

And hence the poet must seek to be essentially anonymous,He must die a little death each morning,He must swallow his toad and study his vomitas Baudelaire studied la charogne of Jeanne Duval.

There are, of course, inherent tendencies to repetition in music itself. Our poetry, our ballads, our songs are full of repetition; nursery rhymes and the little chants and songs we use to teach young children have choruses and refrains. We are attracted to repetition, even as adults; we want the stimulus and the reward again and again, and in music we get it. Perhaps, therefore, we should not be surprised, should not complain if the balance sometimes shifts too far and our musical sensitivity becomes a vulnerability.

Oliver Sacks

He who says o'er much I love not is in love.

Ovid

What our children have to fear is not the cars on the highways of tomorrow but our own pleasure in calculating the most elegant parameters of their deaths.

J. G. Ballard
