My mom was a single mom, and she had enough on her plate. I knew when I was doing something I wasn't supposed to, and I tried to keep her from finding out about it. I did a pretty good job of that.

I am Misanthropos, and hate mankind

William Shakespeare

There is not much less vexation in the government of a private family than in the managing of an entire state.

Michel de Montaigne

You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.

Aldous Huxley

Here we are, we're alone in the universe, there's no God, it just seems that it all began by something as simple as sunlight striking on a piece of rock. And here we are. We've only got ourselves. Somehow, we've just got to make a go of it. We've only ourselves.

John Osborne

Die and endow a college or a cat.

Alexander Pope

It is the merit of a general to impart good news, and to conceal the truth.

Sophocles

Until that afternoon in October four years ago, I hadn't known dogs could scream.

Stephen King

You know it is not my interest to pay the principal, or my principal to pay the interest.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.

Mother Theresa

[D]as man die wahre Natur der Sinne nie verstanden hatte und dass sie wild und tierisch geblieben waren, nur weil die Welt versucht hatte, sie durch Aushungern zu bändigen und durch schmerzhaften Verzicht abzutöten, statt danach zu trachten, sie zu Elementen einer neuen Geistigkeit zu verwandeln, deren bezeichnendes Merkmal ein empfindsamer Sinn für die Schönheit sein sollte.

Oscar Wilde

It's not movies and it's not fine art. The beauty of a comic is that it's clear, direct communication. My work is getting simpler and more cartoony because I'm much more interested in communication now than in any illustrative value.

Frank Miller

This person has just arrived on this planet, knows nothing about it, has no standards by which to judge it. This person does not care what it becomes. It is eager to become absolutely anything it is supposed to be.

Kurt Vonnegut
