One shining quality lends a luster to another, or hides some glaring defect.

In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.

Mahatma Gandhi

Never speak of yourself to others; make them talk about themselves instead; therein lies the whole art of pleasing. Everybody knows it, and everyone forgets it.

Edmond de Goncourt

The more you travel, the better you get at it. It sounds silly, but with experience you learn how to pack the right way. I remember one of my first trips abroad, travelling around Europe by rail, fresh out of high school. I brought all these books with me and a paint set. I really had too much stuff, so I've learnt to be more economical.

Roman Coppola

Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry are two of the hottest girls in the world - and so normal and funny with it. If I was a few years older they are the kind of girls I'd like to date. I want a younger version of Cheryl and Katy - a mixture of the two would be hot.

Justin Bieber

Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture.

Tadao Ando

Success in any endeavor depends on the degree to which it is an expression of your true self.

Ralph Marston

Alexander Pope

I never fit in. I am a true alternative. And I love being the outcast. That's my role in life, to be an outcast.

Meat Loaf

Learning. The kind of ignorance distinguishing the studious.

Ambrose Bierce

The human consciousness is really homogeneous. There is no complete forgetting, even in death.

David Herbert Lawrence

Art is apotheosis; often, the complaint of beauty.

Dejan Stojanovic

There'll come a time when all of us must leave here, then nothing sister Mary can do Will keep me here with you. As nothing in this life that I've been trying could equal or surpass the art of dying. Do you believe me?

George Harrison
