Life is a voyage.

I saw clearly that war was upon us when I learned that my young men had been secretly buying ammunition.

Discord occasions a momentary distress to the ear, which remains unsatisfied, and even uneasy, until it hears something better.

Charles Burney

In science you need to understand the world; in business you need others to misunderstand it.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Push-ups, sit-ups, and a strict diet of raisins. That's my plan.

Jack Black

If we are not empty, we become a block of matter. We cannot breathe, we cannot think. To be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out. We cannot be alive if we are not empty. Emptiness is impermanence, it is change. We should not complain about impermanence, because without impermanence, nothing is possible.

Thich Nhat Hanh

We can talk about our dreams all night, Lisette. We can talk forever, for the rest of our lives, living one adventure after another, I promise. But not now, my darling Lisette. For now, all I can think of is the brilliance of yet another ancient Greek, Sophocles. He said, 'One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life-that word is love.' I love you, Lisette. You bring my life joy I've never known. Please, marry me.

Kasey Michaels

Fishing seems to be the favorite form of loafing.

Edward W. Howe

Well, you can't be depressed and sad 24 hours a day.

Julia Sweeney

Look, I really don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive, you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, you've got to make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death.

Mel Brooks

To possess your soul in patience, with all the skin and some of the flesh burnt off your face and hands, is a job for a boy compared with the pains of a man who has lived pretty long in the exhilarating world that drugs or strong waters seem to create and is trying to live now in the first bald desolation created by knocking them off.

C. E. Montague

A theory is the more impressive the greater is the simplicity of its premises, the more different are the kinds of things it relates and the more extended the range of its applicability.

Albert Einstein

I love a lot of things, and I'm pretty much obsessive about most things I do, whether it be gardening, or architecture, or music. I'd be an obsessive hairdresser.
