We like a man to come right out and say what he thinks, if we agree with him.

Perfection is our goal, excellence will be tolerated.

J. Yahl

Every apostle or disciple, as much as they're running to follow their savior- they're running just as hard to escape something else.

Chuck Palahniuk

In the end I didn't get a top car any more. I had no toughness left. That was the reality.

Jacky Ickx

Nations! What are nations? Tartars! and Huns! and Chinamen! Like insects they swarm. The historian strives in vain to make them memorable. It is for want of a man that there are so many men. It is individuals that populate the world.

Henry David Thoreau

Your joys and sorrows. You can never tell them. You cheapen the inside of yourself if you do tell them.

Greta Garbo

What I do now is all my dad's fault, because he bought me a guitar as a boy, for no apparent reason.

Rod Stewart

Love like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots keeping itself alive.

Paulo Coelho

We may smile at these matters, but they are melancholy illustrations.

Joseph Howe

I like to walk around my apartment naked. I like sitting around in the nude watching sports, actually.

Kylie Bax

Many surround themselves with luminaries, but in so doing they dull their own sparkle. If you want to shine bright, look to the heavens and see how the brightest star always stands apart from those lesser shining stars.

Stephen Richards

My life in Brooklyn was in constant danger because of my bad health.

Maurice Sendak

From the moment of birth, when the stone-age baby confronts the twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to these forces of violence, called love, as its mother and father have been, and their parents and their parents before them. These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of its potentialities. This enterprise is on the whole successful.
