A long tongue shortens life.

I don't really know how to relate to a long-term day-in day-out kind of comfortable relationship.

Diane Lane

I got to spend all of my time every day at work reading and editing papers about cutting-edge technical research and getting paid for it. Then I'd go home at night and turn what I learned into science fiction stories.

Kevin J. Anderson

Edna St. Vincent Millay

To us, men of the West, a very strange thing happened at the turn of the century; without noticing it, we lost science, or at least the thing that had been called by that name for the last four centuries.

Edith Wharton

I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expenses, and my expense is equal to my wishes.

Edward Gibbon

I learned a long time ago with you that folks who were trying to be kind would rather do it with a macaroni-and-cheese bake than any personal involvement.

Oliver Reed

Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Men and women should stay apart, till their hearts grow gentle towards one another again.

David Herbert Lawrence

It often takes more courage to change one's opinion than to keep it.

Willy Brandt
