The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing.

The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart.

Albert Camus

In an age when the fashion is to be in love with yourself, confessing to be in love with somebody else is an admission of unfaithfulness to one's beloved.

Russell Baker

Science is not a game in which arbitrary rules are used to decide what explanations are to be permitted.

Michael Behe

People die of fright and live of confidence.

Henry David Thoreau

The problem with winter sports is that - follow me closely here - they generally take place in winter.

Dave Barry

Nowadays people's visual imagination is so much more sophisticated, so much more developed, particularly in young people, that now you can make an image which just slightly suggests something, they can make of it what they will.

Robert Doisneau

I'm so in control of my life, you shouldn't dislike anything I do-because I'm not only in the best place I've ever been, but it keeps getting better and better.

Drew Barrymore

I think people in Botswana are pleased that my books paint a positive picture of their lives and portray the country as being very special. They've made a great success of their country, and the people are fed up with the constant reporting of only the problems and poverty of the continent. They welcome something which puts the positive side.

Alexander McCall Smith

Leadership is working with goals and vision management is working with objectives.

Russel Honore

I'd love to be a dad. I hope I'd be great at it. That's every man's fear, yet his most important job.

Matt Damon

Not much shocked me. You know, I worked in a home for Alzheimer's patients and my dad used to be really into murders and stuff, so I saw dead bodies. It desensitised me to a lot of things.

Ellie Goulding

In my 50s I'll be dancing at my children's weddings.

Michael J. Fox
