From as long as, literally as far back as I can remember I've liked puns, word jokes, I can literally recall looking at a comic at the age of six or seven and I remember what I enjoyed and what it was precisely and how the joke worked.

We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.

Edward George BulwerLytton

You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows that they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift.

Erin Morgenstern

I knew nothing about martial arts. The coach told me I was talented with learning martial arts, and put me in a school. Three years later I got my first championship in China.

Jet Li

The passions are like fire, useful in a thousand ways and dangerous only in one, through their excess.

Christian Nevell Bovee

In comedy, reconcilement with life comes at the point when to the tragic sense only an inalienable difference or dissension with life appears.

Constance Rourke

If a man constantly aspires is he not elevated.

Henry David Thoreau

A man who has the courage of his platitudes is always a successful man. The instructed man is ashamed to pronounce in an orphic manner what everybody knows, and because he is silent people think he is making fun of them. They like a man who expresses their own superficial thoughts in a manner that appears to be profound. This enables them to feel that they are themselves profound.

Van Wyck Brooks

Numai moartea e o for?? la fel de absolut?, dar în lupta de veacuri dintre aceste dou? puteri, dragostea este cea care ia moartea de gât, îi pune genunchiul în piept, o bate ziua ?i noaptea, o învinge în fiecare prim?var?, o urm?re?te pas cu pas ?i-n fiecare groap? pe care aceasta o sap?, dragostea arunc? s?mân?a unei vie?i noi.

Henryk Sienkiewicz

To establish any mode to abolish war, however advantageous it might be to Nations, would be to take from such Government the most lucrative of its branches.

Thomas Paine

We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.

Timothy Leary

He believed in me. And I found that so empowering.

Bill Atkinson

I love sleeping in a moving car more than sleeping in bed.
