Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Benjamin Franklin

I grew up in the Bronx where you would stay up late with your girlfriends, just being silly in our bedrooms, whatever. And I was always the clown.

Jennifer Lopez

People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history.

Dan Quayle

Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you're presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.

Blaine Lee, The Power Principle

A conception not reducible to the small change of daily experience is like a currency not exchangeable for articles of consumption; it is not a symbol, but a fraud.

George Santayana

To rescue from oblivion even a fragment of a language which men have used and which is in danger of being lost --that is to say, one of the elements, whether good or bad, which have shaped and complicated civilization --is to extend the scope of social observation and to serve civilization.

Victor Hugo

People ask how can a Jewish kid from the Bronx do preppy clothes? Does it have to do with class and money? It has to do with dreams.

Ralph Lauren

I remember growing up always loving the guitar. I used to love to watch the people play on the Country Western shows on TV. My folks told me that when I was just a toddler, I used to pretend I was playing a guitar on a toothpick.

Carl Wilson

Every experience makes you a man.

Eric Cantona

I do not have any pets. We travel too much.

Nancy Kerrigan

Quarrels would not last so long if the fault lay only on one side.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Do not fear mistakes. There are none.

Miles Davis
