Marriage is a financial contract I have enough contracts already.

There were times when I thought I would never own a car.

Victor Cruz

I'm very particular about the kind of music that I record and sing, and it would be the same way about the kind of movies that I would do.

Jason Aldean

The residents and elected officials of Long Island have fought vigorously for many years and spent millions of dollars to preserve the quality of life that the Long Island Sound offers.

Tim Bishop

Well, the most terrible fear that anybody should have is not war, is not a disease, not cancer or heart problems or food poisoning - it's a man or a woman without a sense of humor.

Jonathan Winters

Oh, why will parents always appear at the wrong time? Some extraordinary mistake in nature, I suppose.

Oscar Wilde

Various experts, here and abroad, believe that the immediate postwar inflationary climate has now been converted into an epoch of price stability. One hopes this cheerful diagnosis is correct. However, a careful survey of the behavior of prices and costs shows that our recent stability in the wholesale price index has come in a period of admittedly high unemployment and slackness in our economy. For this reason it is premature to believe that the restoration of high employment will no longer involve problems concerning the stability of prices.Economists are not yet agreed how serious this new malady of inflation really is. Many feel that new institutional programs, other than conventional fiscal and monetary policies, must be devised to meet this new challenge. But whatever the merits of the varying views on this subject, it should be made manifest that the goal of high employment and effective real growth cannot be abandoned because of the problematical fear that re-attaining prosperity in America may bring with it some difficulties; if recovery means a reopening of the cost-push problem, then we have no choice but to move closer to the day when that problem has to be successfully grappled with.

Paul A. Samuelson, from a report

Anyone can escape into sleep, we are all geniuses when we dream, the butcher's the poet's equal there.

E. M. Cioran, The Tempation to E

There is a cheap literature that speaks to us of the need of escape. It is true that when we travel we are in search of distance. But distance is not to be found. It melts away. And escape has never led anywhere. The moment a man finds that he must play the races, go the Arctic, or make war in order to feel himself alive, that man has begin to spin the strands that bind him to other men and to the world. But what wretched strands! A civilization that is really strong fills man to the brim, though he never stir. What are we worth when motionless, is the question.

Antoine De SaintExupery

You're pulling 4-5G for a lot of the corners around the lap. We build up lactic acid because there are a lot of vibrations in the car, and you have to have strong legs to hit the brake pedal. We need to be fit to do every lap at 100%.

Jenson Button

To cut and tighten sentences is the secret of mastery.

Dejan Stojanovic

Like all weak men he laid an exaggerated stress on not changing one's mind.

A wicked fellow is the most pious when he takes to it. He'll beat you all at piety.
