...never be disappointing - you may wound me, but you must never be disappointing...

If you want to be an orator, first get your great cause.

Wendell Phillips

After great pain, a formal feeling comes. The Nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs.

Emily Dickinson

He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through the maze of the most busy life. But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incidence, chaos will soon reign.

I believe that, like most writers, my personality comes through in the fiction. So in that respect my writing can't be like any other author's really.

Paul Kane

For twenty-five centuries, Western knowledge has tried to look upon the world. It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.

Jacques Attali

You have got to clean your own house first before you tell other people that they aren't doing it right.

Dan Webster

Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.

Sir Winston Churchill

Proverb

With the supermarket as our temple and the singing commercial as our litany, are we likely to fire the world with an irresistible vision of America's exalted purpose and inspiring way of life?

Adlai Stevenson
