I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies.

George Bernard Shaw

I'm proud to be an American. I'm proud to be an African American in America. I've had some interesting experiences: some great, some not so great, but I love it here.

Wesley Snipes

I think there is a tendency in science to measure what is measurable and to decide that what you cannot measure must be uninteresting.

Donald Norman

To give a reason for anything is to breed a doubt of it.

William Hazlitt

That God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.
