To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.

Jean Rostand, Carnets d'un Biolo

Live and work but do not forget to play, to have fun in life and really enjoy it.

Eileen Caddy

Christopher Hitchens

It was a huge challenge to learn digital painting well enough so that computers don't pop into mind when one sees one.

Berkeley Breathed

Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.

Bertrand Russell
