I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies.

Albert Camus

Cheer up! The worst is yet to come!

Philander Johnson

I despair of the Republic! Such dreariness, such whining sallow women, such utter absence of the amenities, such crass food, crass manners, crass landscape!! What a horror it is for a whole nation to be developing without the sense of beauty, and eating bananas for breakfast.

Edith Wharton

Every theory is a self-fulfilling prophecy that orders experience into the framework it provides.

Ruth Hubbard

Former Olympians also get paid to make appearances. Many of them won their medals in an era when Olympic success didn't go hand-in-hand with financial success.

Mary Lou Retton

The perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men, a pledge of sanity, and a protection from those perverse tendencies and gloomy insanities in which fine intellects sometimes lose themselves. A rogue alive to the ludicrous is still convertible. If that sense is lost, his fellow-men can do little for him.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hungry people cannot be good at learning or producing anything, except perhaps violence.

Pearl Bailey

How little do they see what is, who frame their hasty judgments upon that which seems.

Robert Southey

A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

Max Planck

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, SelfRelianc

All sensations are true; pleasure is our natural goal.

Epicurus

I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted just like that, and it didn't mean anything? What then?

Neil Gaiman
