No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden.

When I was growing up, it was 'Communists'. Now it's 'Terrorists'. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything.

Blaise Pascal

She had always thought the word 'pheromones' made it sound as though molecules were floating in the air, shaped like little fluted horns, ready to attach themselves to the nearest target.

Alice Pung

In the dark womb where I began My mother's life made me a man. Through all the months of human birth Her beauty fed my common earth. I cannot see, nor breathe, nor stir, But through the death of some of her.

J. D. Hayworth

Marrying into money was not a good thing for me.

Anna Nicole Smith

No one has ever loved anyone the way everyone wants to be loved.

Mignon McLaughlin

Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it.

George Bernard Shaw

Jon Meacham

Greed probably figures in my intellectual life as well, as I attempt to absorb a massive amount of information with consequent mental indigestion.

Etty Hillesum

It is with trifles, and when he is off guard, that a man best reveals his character.

Arthur Schopenhauer

When you walk on a court, clear your mind of everything unrelated to the goal of playing the match as well as you can.

Stan Smith
