When I have a kid, I want to buy one of those strollers fortwins. Then put the kid in and run around, looking frantic.When he gets older, I'd tell him he used to have a brother, buthe didn't obey.

Hero-worship is the deepest root of all; the tap-root, from which in a great degree all the rest were nourished and grown . . . Worship of a Hero is transcendent admiration of a Great Man. I say great men are still admirable; I say there is, at bottom, nothing else admirable! No nobler feeling than this of admiration for one higher than himself dwells in the breast of men.

Thomas Carlyle

Here is the shadow of truth, for only the shadow is true.

Robert Penn Warren

Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man's image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!

Milan Kundera

It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.

Terry Pratchett

Reviewers, with some rare exceptions, are a most stupid and malignant race. As a bankrupt thief turns thief-taker in despair, so an unsuccessful author turns critic.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Success is transient, evanescent. The real passion lies in the poignant acquisition of knowledge about all the shading and subtleties of the creative secrets.

Konstantin Stanislavisky

Ikea people do not drive flashy cars or stay at luxury hotels.

Ingvar Kamprad

Courage to continue comes from deeper sources than outward results.

Kenneth L. Pike

I think we have grave problems. I am very much concerned about environmental questions, even though in Finnish society, we are not facing the most urgent problems.

Harri Holkeri

Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them.

Flannery O'Connor

Even the propagandists on the radio find it very difficult to really say let alone believe that the world will be a happy place, of love and peace and plenty, and that the lion will lie down with the lamb and everybody will believe anybody.

Gertrude Stein

When it's breezy, hit it easy.

Davis Love, Jr.
