Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later, for another thing, they die earlier.

When the Stranger says: What is the meaning of this city ? Do you huddle close together because you love each other? What will you answer? We all dwell together To make money from each other? or This is a community?

T. S. Eliot

It takes five years to design a new car in this country. Heck, we won World War II in four years.

H. Ross Perot

Mystery is gone to the certainty of technological principles. So the real terror, the real aggression against life comes in the form of the pursuit of our technological happiness.

Godfrey Reggio

Enjoy yourself -- it's later than you think.

Socrates

We are a studying nation. Scholarship from science is important to the whole world and those people need to be able to be safe and secure in what they do.

Malcolm Wallop

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.

Henry Ford

The things we fear most in organizations -- fluctuations, disturbances, imbalances -- are the primary sources of creativity.

Margaret J. Wheatley

If you have parents with a healthy relationship, you don't learn that you don't have to be married. I thought being a healthy adult meant you had to have a spouse. I didn't know any different.

Alyssa Milano

Storytellers seldom let facts get in the way of perpetuating a legend, although a few facts add seasoning and make the legend more believable.

John H. Alexander

I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.

Frances Burney

Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of a certain income can indulge.

St. Gregory The Great

I'm not against machines, as are some people who feel that the computer is leading us back into the jungle...I'm against machines only when the convenience they afford to some people is regarded as more important than the inconvenience they cause to all. In short, I don't think computers should wear the pants or make the decisions. They are deficient in humor, they are not intuitive, and they are not aware of the imponderables. The men who feed them seem to believe that everything is made out of ponderables, which isn't the case. I read a poem once that a computer had written, but didn't care much for it. It seemed to me I could write a better one myself, if I were to put my mind to it.
