Our foster-nurse of nature is repose

William Shakespeare

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

Kris Kristofferson

Actually, I started to become an actress because I met someone who was just a friend and I found his life wonderful, I thought, Oh my god, you can travel, you're free, you can do what you want, you're the boss. And then I met an actor and I was in love with him.

Lea Seydoux

Every man has three characters -- that which he exhibits, that which he has, and that which he thinks he has.

Alphonse Karr

Economics has never been a science - and it is even less now than a few years ago.

Paul Samuelson

Thus truth was multiplied on truth, the world Like one great garden show'd, And thro' the wreaths of floating dark up-curl'd, Rare sunrise flow'd. And Freedom rear'd in that august sunrise Her beautiful bold brow, When rites and forms before his burning eyes Melted like snow.

Alfred Tennyson

Charles de Secondat

The task of evolutionary psychology is not to weigh in on human nature, a task better left to others.

Steven Pinker

I want to be part of your story. I want your story to rearrange the symbols in my mind. I want your voice to be my voice.

David Bowles

Ninety percent of all music is always crap, and when too many people decide they're going to have guitar bands, then ninety percent of them are going to be crap. It's just a given law.

David Byrne
