I like pens. My writing is so amazing there's never a need to erase.

To the pure geometer the radius of curvature is an incidental characteristic - like the grin of the Cheshire cat. To the physicist it is an indispensable characteristic. It would be going too far to say that to the physicist the cat is merely incidental to the grin. Physics is concerned with interrelatedness such as the interrelatedness of cats and grins. In this case the cat without a grin and the grin without a cat are equally set aside as purely mathematical fantasies.

Sir Arthur Eddington, The Expand

Often it does seem such a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.

Mark Twain

Love isn't always a physical emotion. Sometimes it's the ones who never got to actually hold you in their arms that appreciate you for who you are

Sarah Sprague

Self-respect. It would make me lovable. And it's the secret to good sex.

Susan Sontag

Smitten as we are with the vision of social righteousness, a God indifferent to everything but adulation, and full of partiality for his individual favorites, lacks an essential element of largeness.

William James

Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.

George Eliot

Why was I born with such contemporaries?

Oscar Wilde

When a village ceases to be a community, it becomes oppressive in its narrow conformity. So one becomes an individual and migrates to the city. There, finding others like-minded, one re-establishes a village community. Nowadays only New Yorkers are yokels.

Paul Goodman

I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.

Orlando Bloom

There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.

George Carlin

But even the President of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked.

Bob Dylan

The fear of being wrong is the prime inhibitor of the creative process.
