Old age is when the liver spots show through your gloves.

Thought, like all potent weapons, is exceedingly dangerous if mishandled. Clear thinking is therefore desirable not only in order to develop the full potentialities of the mind, but also to avoid disaster.

Giles St. Aubyn

A poet can survive anything but a misprint.

Oscar Wilde

There is no one, says another, whom fortune does not visit once in his life; but when she does not find him ready to receive her, she walks in at the door, and flies out at the window.

Charles Montesquieu

I know what I look like - a weird, sad clown puppet. I'm fine with that.

Rainn Wilson

The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.

Jeanette Winterson

All we had aboard the ship that morning was one Annapolis graduate and three reserves.

Barney Ross

War itself is the enemy of the human race.

Howard Zinn

I use computers for email, staying current with my own website as well as finding important information through other websites. I also use it for creating MP3 files of new music I'm working on.

Clint Black

Fill it up. I take as large draughts of liquor as I did of love. I hate a flincher in either.

John Gay

I hate science. It denies a man's responsibility for his own deeds, abolishes the brotherhood that springs from God's fatherhood. It is a hectoring, dictating expertise, which makes the least lovable of the Church Fathers seem liberal by contrast. It is far easier for a Hitler or a Stalin to find a mock-scientific excuse for persecution than it was for Dominic to find a mock-Christian one.

Basil Bunting

To believe is very dull. To doubt is intensely engrossing. To be on the alert is to live, to be lulled into security is to die.

Oscar Wilde

With civilized men..., it is, I think, chiefly love of excitement which makes the populace applaud when war breaks out; the emotion is exactly the same as at a football match, although the results are sometimes somewhat more serious.

Bertrand Russell, Nobel Lecture,
