Robert Anton Wilson

We're in a period where society seems very attracted to flash, and that seeps into people's musical taste.

K. D. Lang

Taste is developed by the diversity of the products one can sample. I think our children today may be missing an education about food. We must teach them to know their cuisine and to know the equilibrium of nourishment. That is very important for health.

Joel Robuchon

Andrew Lang

Samuel Johnson

Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People.

Benjamin Disraeli

The other day the President said, I know you've had some rough times, and I want to do something that will show the nation what faith that I have in you, in your maturity and sense of responsibility. He paused, then said, would you like a puppy?

Pablo Neruda

As I get older I'm more and more comfortable being alone.

Sienna Miller

Rosalyn S. Yalow

The acorn becomes an oak by means of automatic growth; no commitment is necessary. The kitten similarly becomes a cat on the basis of instinct. Nature and being are identical in creatures like them. But a man or woman becomes fully human only by his or her choices and his or her commitment to them. People attain worth and dignity by the multitude of decisions they make from day by day. These decisions require courage.

Rollo May

Man needs what's worst in him in order to achieve what's best in him.

Paulo Coelho
