John Boehner

A thing is worth what it can do for you, not what you choose to pay for it.

John Ruskin

Vivre, naturellement, n'est jamais facile. On continue ? faire les gestes que l'existence commande, pour beaucoup de raisons dont la première est l'habitude. Mourir volontairement suppose qu'on a reconnu, même instinctivement, le caractère dérisoire de cette habitude, l'absence de toute raison profonde de vivre, le caractère insensé de cette agitation quotidienne et l'inutilité de la souffrance.

Albert Camus

Every person is the creation of himself, the image of his own thinking and believing. As individuals think and believe, so they are.

Seann William Scott

Herman Wouk, (interview)
