Nature gets credit which should in truth be reserved for ourselves: the rose for its scent, the nightingale for its song; and the sun for its radiance. The poets are entirely mistaken. They should address their lyrics to themselves and should turn them into odes of self congratulation on the excellence of the human mind.

The whole point of being in this business and being blessed and being successful is that you're able to do things for your friends or your family, which means that they can have something special in their lives, too.

We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.

Germaine Greer

What is music. A passion for colonies not a love of country.

Gertrude Stein

Keyakinan bagi saya...seperti wewangian. Kita benar-benar bisa merasakannya, mencium aromanya, tapi susah untuk mendefinisikannya terutama kepada orang yang belum pernah, belum bisa atau memang tidak mau mencium aroma wewangian tersebut.
