A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we're children, but we bear the scars all our life. Whether they're scars of beauty or scars of ugliness, it's pretty much in the eye of the beholder.

When you hire that first person, then you're a boss. You've got performance reviews. You've got complaints about not making enough money. You've got people who are just going to sell your story to the tabloids.

Scott Adams

I'm happy because I won't have to train again, or travel or sit in team hotels.

Romario

He who cannot limit himself will never know how to write.

Nicholas Boileau

O, but man, proud man! Drest in a little brief authority; Most ingorant of what he's most assur'd, His glassy essence,-like an angry ape, Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven, As make the angels weep;

William Shakespeare

Freedom is the emancipation from the arbitrary rule of other men.

Mortimer Adler

And of all illumination which human reason can give, none is comparable to the discovery of what we are, our nature, our obligations, what happiness we are capable of, and what are the means of attaining it.

Henry Reed

The basic assumption of the secular society is that modernity overcomes religion.

Ulrich Beck

A public library is the most enduring of memorials, the trustiest monument for the preservation of an event or a name or an affection; for it, and it only, is respected by wars and revolutions, and survives them

Mark Twain

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.

Pau (Pablo) Casals
