Nudity is the uniform of the other side... nudity is a shroud.

The real leader has no need to lead - he is content to point the way.

Henry Miller

Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel.

Napoleon Hill

Plaster thick, some will stick.

Proverb

All my life Ive known better than to depend on the experts. How could I have been so stupid, to let them go ahead?

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Millions of couples out there practiced the art of sadomasochism every day, without even realizing it. They went to work, came back, complained about everything, insulted their wife or were insulted by her, felt wretched, but were, nonetheless, tightly bound to their own unhappiness, not realizing that all it would take was a single gesture, a final goodbye, to free them from that oppression.

Paulo Coelho

Great geniuses have the shortest biographies.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I used to say I wanted somebody funny and intelligent, but kindness is the most important quality in a man.

Cat Deeley

For five months I got up at six o'clock and got dressed by the lamplight. The fire would not yet be on. The house was very cold but I would put on a heavy coat, sit with my feet up to keep them from freezing and with fingers so cramped that I could scarcely hold a pen. I would write my stunt for the day. Sometimes it would be a poem in which I would carol blithely of blue skies and rippling brooks and flowery meads! Then I would thaw out my hands, eat breakfast and go to school. When people say to me, as they occasionally do, 'Oh how I envy your gift, how I wish I could write as you do', I am inclined to wonder, with some inward amusement, how much they would have envied me on those dark, cold, winter mornings of my apprenticeship.

Lucy Maud Montgomery

People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

Isaac Asimov

My life came to a standstill. I could breathe, eat, drink and sleep, and I could not help doing these things; but there was no life, for there were no wishes the fulfilment of which I could consider reasonable. If I desired anything, I knew in advance that whether I satisfied my desire or not, nothing would come of it. Had a fairy come and offered to fulfil my desires I should not have known what to ask. If in moments of intoxication I felt something which, though not a wish, was a habit left by former wishes, in sober moments I knew this to be a delusion and that there was really nothing to wish for. I could not even wish to know the truth, for I guess of what it consisted. The truth was that life is meaningless.

Leo Tolstoy

Life is a ticket to the greatest show on earth.

Martin H. Fische
