You are always born under the wrong sign, and to live in this world properly you have to rewrite your own horoscope day by day.

Umberto Eco

I wear my Pen as others do their Sword. To each affronting sot I meet, the word Is Satisfaction: straight to thrusts I go, And pointed satire runs him through and through.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Aristotle

It is only a short step from exaggerating what we can find in the world to exaggerating our power to remake the world.

But a world we can shape to our will is a shapeless world.

Daniel J. Boorstin

Inspiration is one thing and you can't control it, but hard work is what keeps the ship moving. Good luck means, work hard. Keep up the good work.

Who seeks shall find.

Sophocles

The only thing limiting your aspiration is your imagination.

Stephen Richards

Michael Jackson

We have to restore power to the family, to the neighborhood, and the community with a non-market principle, a principle of equality, of charity, of let's-take-care-of-one-another. That's the creative challenge.

Jerry Brown

Fortune's a right whore. If she give ought, she deals it in small parcels, that she may take away all at one swoop.

John Webster
