Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself. Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.

I love it when mothers get so mad they can't remember your name. Come here, Roy, er, Rupert, er, Rutabaga... what is your name, boy? And don't lie to me, because you live here, and I'll find out who you are.

Bill Cosby

Daphne du Maurier

The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation.

Jeff Hawkins

Success is hard in general for most women. We now have such busy lives, and we're told we can do everything - you know, we can have the relationship and the marriage and the kids and the career.

Cat Deeley

That proves it's not by Shaw, because all Shaw's characters are himself: mere puppets stuck up to spout Shaw.
