Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality.

When I am...traveling in a carriage, or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot sleep; it is on such occasions that ideas flow best and most abundantly.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Conceive. That is the word that means both the beginning in imagination and the end in creation.

George Bernard Shaw

Me, I've seen 45 years, and I've only figured out one thing. That's this: if a person would just make the effort, there's something to be learned from everything. From even the most ordinary, commonplace things, there's always something you can learn. I read somewhere that they said there's even different philosophies in razors. Fact is, if it weren't for that, nobody'd survive.

Haruki Murakami

Rhyme, that enslaved queen, that supreme charm of our poetry, that creator of our meter.

Victor Hugo

It is a shame that when we have a good dream we are asleep at the time.

P.K. Shaw

God made me and broke the mold.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Unfortunately it's also true to say that good management is a bit like oxygen - it's invisible and you don't notice its presence until it's gone, and then you're sorry.

Charles Stross

With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.

Abraham Lincoln

Every age has its own poetry in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation, a race, a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Women were seldom given quality assignments or adequate air time.

Jessica Savitch

In Canada, women's rights are a vital part of our effort to build a society of real equality - not just for some, but for all Canadians. A society in which women no longer encounter discrimination nor are shut out from opportunities open to others.

Paul Martin

The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life, Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression.

Gary Larson
