She knew she could never love any man the way she loved a blank sheet of paper that only she could fill.

No cross no crown.

Francis Quarles

I have often noticed that nationalism is at its strongest at the periphery. Hitler was Austrian, Bonaparte Corsican. In postwar Greece and Turkey the two most prominent ultra-right nationalists had both been born in Cyprus. The most extreme Irish Republicans are in Belfast and Derry (and Boston and New York). Sun Yat Sen, father of Chinese nationalism, was from Hong Kong. The Serbian extremists Miloševi? and Karadži? were from Montenegro and their most incendiary Croat counterparts in the tended to hail from the frontier lands of Western Herzegovina.

Christopher Hitchens

I don’t care that they stole my idea. I care that they don’t have any of their own.

Nikola Tesla

Every error in human conduct must arise from ignorance in ourselves, either perpetual or temporary; and happen either because we do not know what is best and fittest, or because our knowledge is at the time of action not present to the mind

Samuel Johnson

Work and play are words used to describe the same thing under differing conditions.

Mark Twain

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

George Bernard Shaw

In politics stupidity is not a handicap.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Never get married in college; it's hard to get a start if a prospective employer finds you've already made one mistake.

Elbert Hubbard

I declare that I will establish peace in this world.

Prem Rawat

Tell the truth, but tell it slant.

Emily Dickinson

I'd like to think I'm a great teacher.

Gordon Ramsay

It is... axiomatic that we should all think of ourselves as being more sensitive than other people because, when we are insensitive in our dealings with others, we cannot be aware of it at the time: conscious insensitivity is a self-contradiction.

W. H. Auden
