If we men married the women we deserved, we should have a very bad time of it.

It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope.

Ursula K. Le Guin

In the vain laughter of folly wisdom hears half its applause.

George Eliot

If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.

War talk by men who have been in a war is always interesting; whereas moon talk by a poet who has not been in the moon is likely to be dull.

Mark Twain

Dissension, diversity, the grain of salt and mustard are needed: Fascism does not want them, forbids them, and that's why you're not a Fascist; it wants everybody to be the same, and you are not.

John Bytheway

We interrogate the world by making.

Bill Burnett

Sometimes when I'm swimming, I think that maybe someday I'll put my red Speedo up for auction. Or maybe I'll donate it to the Smithsonian. They can stuff it with two plums and a gherkin and put it on display.

David Duchovny

Horace

For nothing can seem foul to those that win.

William Shakespeare
