Mom claimed that I could carry a tune at 2 or 3 years of age. Maybe she was a little prejudiced.

Laboring through a world every day more stultified, which expected salvation in codes and governments, ever more willing to settle for suburban narratives and diminished payoffs--what were the chances of finding anyone else seeking to transcend that, and not even particularly aware of it?

Thomas Pynchon

It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself

Charles Dickens

I just spend my money on the essentials. Just basically food and shelter.

David Duchovny

Faith is universal. Our specific methods for understanding it are arbitrary. Some of us pray to Jesus, some of us go to Mecca, some of us study subatomic particles. In the end we are all just searching for truth, that which is greater than ourselves.

Dan Brown

I love Caribbean food. It's a great melting pot of so many cultures including the Native Americans.

Bob Greene

Like sheep which, having been driven to a pasture, can now spread out at their leisure, the clouds began to drift. Afternoon sunlight sliced through into the still waters. The boomerang hung in the sky, and the boy thought he would have to find a new word for the way the colours glowed. In the meantime, he looked down at the water and tried out the word he'd been taught by his grandfather, who'd been taught it by grandfather, and which had been kept for thousands of years for when it would been needed. It meant . It had, he thought, been well worth waiting for.

Terry Pratchett

Knowledge is true opinion.

Plato

Though lovers be lost love shall not.

Dylan Thomas

That said, ID does not qualify as science because it gives us nothing to test or measure. Science requires replicable tests involving measurable variables.

Tony Snow

You should read in your own field only when you're young. When I was 8, 10, 12, 16, 25, I read science fiction. But then I went on to Alexander Pope and John Donne and Moliere to mix it up.

Ray Bradbury

When it comes to locations, I'm one of those crazy authors who has to see it, touch it, taste it, before I trust myself to recreate it for my readers. Having said that, visiting a locked-down pediatric psych ward was the most intimidating research I've ever done - and I've visited maximum security prisons, shooting galleries, bone collections, etc.

Lisa Gardner

Too much TV hurts movies.

Elvis Presley
