Not in the mornings, I'm always so tired in the morning.

I don't think academic writing ever was wonderful. However, science used to be much less specialized.

Stephen Jay Gould

Conversation is an art in which a man has all mankind for competitors.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

My band career ended late in my senior year when John Cooper and I threw my amplifier out the dormitory window. We did not act in haste. First we checked to make sure the amplifier would fit through the frame, using the belt from my bathrobe to measure, then we picked up the amplifier and backed up to my bedroom door. Then we rushed forward, shouting The WHO! The WHO! and we launched my amplifier perfectly, as though we had been doing it all our lives, clean through the window and down onto the sidewalk, where a small but appreciative crowd had gathered. I would like to be able to say that this was a symbolic act, an effort on my part to break cleanly away from one state in my life and move on to another, but the truth is, Cooper and I really just wanted to find out what it would sound like. It sounded OK.

Dave Barry, The Snake

When we can't find peace in ourselves it is vain to look for it elsewhere.

Proverb

Well, the truth is always what should be told. And the truth and the knowledge of the truth is what everybody should represent, regardless of the consequences of doing it.

Johnny Isakson

But as long as you know you're nobody special, you'll be a very decent sort of Horse, on the whole, and taking one thing with another.

The body is your instrument in dance, but your art is outside that creature, the body.

Martha Graham

I was the kind nobody thought could make it. I had a funny Boston accent. I couldn't pronounce my R's. I wasn't a beauty.

Barbara Walters

These days I travel so much it's hard to get into a routine. When I'm on the road, I tend to use hotel gyms. When I'm home in L.A., I like to hike and hit the surf. All in all, I try to keep a balanced diet and exercise routine, which has stood me in good stead to date.

Curtis Stone

She wasnt exactly sure when it happened. Or even when it started. All she knew for sure was that right here and now, she was falling hard and she could only pray that he was feeling the same way.

Nicholas Sparks

He conquers twice who conquers himself in victory.

Jyrus

Every corny thing that's said about living with nature - being in harmony with the earth, feeling the cycle of the seasons - happens to be true.
