O let us love our occupations, Bless the squire and his relations, Live upon our daily rations, And always know our proper stations.

He who knows the truth and does not speak it is a miserable coward.

Julius Streicher

Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

I like to go from mainstream movies to more artsy films. I don't sign on for the money. Maybe I should, but I don't. There's always a good reason for doing something.

Famke Janssen

When I play it I look out and see people hold on to each other and dance or just couples leaning into each other and kiss. And I'll go: 'You know, I could have worked hard at school and been a dentist. But I'm so glad I didn't.' Because when I look out and see that I feel like the Pied Piper of love.

Chris Isaak

There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better.

Oscar Wilde

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers, and he bears a laden breast,Full of sad experience, moving toward the stillness of his rest.

Alfred Lord Tennyson, Locksley H

And, you know, my dad would show me some things sometimes, but the best things that I got to do were to actually see really good players play up close. That gives you an idea of fingering and technique and what not.

Dweezil Zappa

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night.

Edgar Allan Poe

Just as humans have a prior right to existence over dogs by virtue of being more highly evolved and having a superior consciousness, so women have a prior right to existence over men. The elimination of any male is, therefore, a righteous and good act, an act highly beneficial to women as well as an act of mercy.

Valerie Solanis

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?

Richard P. Feynman

He becomes strenuous, energetic, and perhaps eager for what must after all be regarded as success, and at last he fights for a verdict rather than for the truth.

Anthony Trollope

When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will always long to return.

Leonardo DaVinci
