Christopher Nolan

Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.

St. Jerome

A satellite has no conscience.

Edward R. Murrow

The Government of the absolute majority instead of the Government of the people is but the Government of the strongest interests; and when not efficiently checked, it is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised.

John C. Calhoun

You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideas come along, and I've had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I'll do something. If not, I won't do a damn thing.

Warren Buffett

Frank Rich

Correspondences are like small clothes before the invention of suspenders; it is impossible to keep them up.

Sydney Smith

Roald Dahl

I observe the physician with the same diligence as the disease.

John Donne

I want to Live! Not Die, Not Hide, LIVE!

Margaret Peterson Haddix

Blemishes are hid by night and every fault forgiven; darkness makes any woman fair.

Ovid

Will Durant
