The design of each element should be thought out in order to be easy to make and easy to repair.

Leo Fender

Sadness flies on the wings of the morning, and out of the heart of darkness comes the light.

Jean Giraudoux

After all, in today's music scene every band seems to steal from other bands.

Maynard James Keenan

No man ever dared to manifest his boredom so insolently as does a Siamese tomcat when he yawns in the face of his amorously importunate wife.

Aldous Huxley

Mehmet Oz

Good prose is written only face to face with poetry.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on.

Ulysses S. Grant

The thing you fear most has no power. Your fear of it is what has the power. Facing the truth really will set you free.

Oprah Winfrey

It is restful, tragedy, because one knows that there is no more lousy hope left. You know you're caught, caught at last like a rat with all the world on its back. And the only thing left to do is shout -- not moan, or complain, but yell out at the top of your voice whatever it was you had to say. What you've never said before. What perhaps you don't even know till now.

Jean Anouilh

And for me, the real world involves everything: risk, danger, beauty, energy, all we meet with in the real world.
