Nature abhors annihilation.

I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts.

Graham Kerr

I love good sense above all, perhaps because I have none.

Gustave Flaubert

I try to shave at night so my skin has a chance to settle by the early morning call-time.

Patrick Wilson

To be a successful father... there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look at it for the first two years.

Ernest Hemingway

It is not enough that you should understand about applied science in order that your work may increase mans blessings. Concern for the man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors; concern for the great unsolved problems of the organization of labor and the distribution of goods in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.

Albert Einstein

Talking much is a sign of vanity, for the one who is lavish with words is cheap in deeds.

Sir Walter Raleigh

Men often take their imagination for their heart; and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted.

Blaise Pascal

The deaf community is hungry to see itself in the most positive way.

Lupe Ontiveros

I do not approve of anything which tampers with natural ignorance

Oscar Wilde

You are a wonderful creation. You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know.

Oscar Wilde

When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.

Edward W. Howe

All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not stakes. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority. Its obligation, therefore, never exceeds that of expediency. Even voting FOR THE RIGHT is DOING nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should prevail.

Henry David Thoreau
