Knowledge comes from leaning - Ignorance is born from not wanting to know the difference!

But the deep background that lies behind and beyond what we call humor is revealed only to the few who, by instinct or by effort, have given thought to it. The world's humor, in its best and greatest sense, is perhaps the highest product of our civilization. Its basis lies in the deeper contrasts offered by life itself: the strange incongruity between our aspiration and our achievement, the eager and fretful anxieties of today that fade into nothingness tomorrow, the burning pain and the sharp sorrow that are softened in the gentle retrospect of time, till as we look back upon the course that has been traversed, we pass in view the panorama of our lives, as people in old age may recall, with mingled tears and smiles, the angry quarrels of their childhood. And here, in its larger aspect, humor is blended with pathos till the two are one, and represent, as they have in every age, the mingled heritage of tears and laughter that is our lot on earth.

Stephen Leacock

Mountains are to the rest of the body of the earth, what violent muscular action is to the body of man. The muscles and tendons of its anatomy are, in the mountain, brought out with force and convulsive energy, full of expression, passion, and strength.

John Ruskin

Couldn't start the morning without caffeine.

Ginnifer Goodwin

So over violent, or over civil that every man with him was God or Devil.

John Dryden

You know, women are as promiscuous as men and yet, of course, people are inhibited from having an affair or a relationship because the real-world consequences are a drag.

Lee Child

I have very little faith that I'll ever find someone. I've had some bad luck and I've made some bad choices - not in men, but in how I've chosen to deal with relationships.

Selma Blair

Education is all a matter of building bridges.

Ralph Ellison

You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past -- whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.

Bob Dylan

The rest, called literature, is a dossier of human imbecility for the guidance of future professors.

Tristan Tzara

Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese.

Luis Bunuel

I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time, and prevents arguments.

Oscar Wilde

I love the smell of shampoo on a girl's hair. You can walk past someone and be like, 'Wow, you took a shower this morning, didn't you? Because you smell lovely.'

Jensen Ackles
