Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Life is a gift, given in trust - like a child.

John Kenneth Galbraith

When I was a kid, I took 'The Brady Bunch' and 'The Partridge Family' very seriously. It was a world to me in the same way that the Greek myths would have been had I read them. You know, Marcia is Athena and Mr. Brady is Zeus.

George Saunders

A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.

Groucho Marx

Wallace Stevens

What an occupation! To sit and flay your fellow men and then offer their skins for sale and expect them to buy them.

J. August Strindberg

A person's fate is their own temper.

Benjamin Disraeli

January Jones

I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.

Maya Lin
