I like nonsense -- it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. Its a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope...and that enables you to laugh at all of lifes realities.

The more we study Art, the less we care for Nature. What Art really reveals to us is Nature's lack of design, her curious crudities, her extraordinary montony, her absolutely unfinished condition.

Oscar Wilde

They lard their lean books with the fat of others work.

Sir Richard Francis Burton

An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens

Thomas Jefferson

A little group of willful men reflecting no opinion but their own have rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible.

Woodrow Wilson

Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men, frightened by their wives or sweeties, would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character.

Marilyn Monroe

If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.

Elbert Hubbard

Today, life will offer me many lessons. I will learn nothing.

John S. Hall

I did not become successful in my work through embracing or engaging in celebrity culture. I never signed away my privacy in exchange for success.

Steve Coogan

Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.

Dwight D Eisenhower

When I was growing up, it was 'Communists'. Now it's 'Terrorists'. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything.

Cindy Sheehan

Every morning I wake at 6am or 6.30am, champing at the bit.

John Grisham

You know, my friends, with what a brave carouse I made a Second Marriage in my house favored old barren reason from my bed, and took the daughter of the vine to spouse.
