Never tell the truth to those unworthy of it....

Writing crystallizes thought and thought produces action.

Paul J. Meyer

The contract between the author and the reader is a game. And the game . . . is one of the greatest invetions of Western civilization: the game of telling stories, inventing characters, and creating the imaginary paradise of the individual, from whence no one can be expelled because, in a novel, no one owns the truth and everyone has the right to be heard and understood.

Carlos Fuentes

I run because it's my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I'm going where I'm going and I'm already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise... it's a consistent reward for victory!

Bryan Cranston

You make the mistake of thinking you have to choose, that you have to do what you want, that there are conditions for happiness. What matters- all that matters, really- is the will to happiness, a kind of enormous, ever present consciousness. The rest- women, art, success- is nothing but excuses. A canvas waiting for our embroideries.

Albert Camus

One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.

Albert Einstein

Nothing arouses more hope than the first four hours of a diet.

Charity: a thing that begins at home, and usually stays there.

Elbert Hubbard

Wit as an instrument of revenge is as infamous as art is as a means of sensual titillation.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Study history, study history. In history lies all the secrets of statecraft.
