Man torturing man is a fiend beyond description. You turn a corner in the dark and there he is. You congeal into a bundle of inanimate fear. You become the very soul of anesthesia. But there is no escaping him. It is your turn now...

I would rather the man who presents something for my consideration subject me to a zephyr of truth and a gentle breeze of responsibility rather than blow me down with a curtain of hot wind.

Grover Cleveland

We at Chrysler borrow money the old-fashioned way. We pay it back.

Lee Iacocca

A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.

Liberty Hyde Bailey

Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men.

Thomas Henry Huxley

Our manners have been corrupted by communication with the saints.

Henry David Thoreau, Walden Econ

I constantly remind people that crime isn't solved by technology it's solved by people.

Patricia Cornwell

To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.

Albert Camus

Phyllis Diller

In the same way as you cannot work with bees without being cautious, you cannot work with people without being mindful of their humanity.

Leo Tolstoy

Beauty is but a flower, which wrinkles will devour.

Thomas Nash

I don't remember deciding to become a writer. You decide to become a dentist or a postman. For me, writing is like being gay. You finally admit that this is who you are, you come out and hope that no one runs away.

Mark Haddon

You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.

George Burns
