Whoever undertakes to create soon finds himself engaged in creating himself. Self-transformation and the transformation of others have constituted the radical interest of our century, whether in painting, psychiatry, or political action.

Harold Rosenberg

Men are more satirical from vanity than from malice.

Francois de la Rochefoucauld, Ma

There was no time for kissing but she wanted him to know that in the future there would be. A kiss in so much loneliness was like a hand pulling you up out of the water, scooping you up from a place of drowning and into the reckless abundance of air. A kiss, another kiss.

Ann Patchett

You hear certain things, negative things, all the time that aren't true, but you never hear about the positive.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

If there is ever a science of programming language design, it will probably consist largely of matching languages to the design methods they support.

Robert Floyd

We are, not metaphorically but in very truth, a Divine work of art, something that God is making, and therefore something with which He will not be satisfied until it has a certain character. Here again we come up against what I have called the intolerable compliment. Over a sketch made idly to amuse a child, an artist may not take much trouble: he may be content to let it go even though it is not exactly as he meant it to be. But over the great picture of his life the work which he loves, though in a different fashion, as intensely as a man loves a woman or a mother a child he will take endless trouble and would doubtless, thereby give endless trouble to the picture if it were sentient. One can imagine a sentient picture, after being rubbed and scraped and re-commenced for the tenth time, wishing that it were only a thumb-nail sketch whose making was over in a minute. In the same way, it is natural for us to wish that God had designed for us a less glorious and less arduous destiny; but then we are wishing not for more love but for less.

C.S. Lewis

To convince someone of the truth, it is not enough to state it, but rather one must find the path from error to truth.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Mediocrity requires aloofness to preserve its dignity.

Charles G. Dawes

The nerds are my favourite sort of boys - any guy with a passion - whether it be physics or film or writing or poetry even, I think it's super sweet and it's very attractive for a female.

Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.

I wanna know Maddy Walker. The real one. The one who stole my heart.
