One is tempted to define man as a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.

At home I serve the kind of food I know the story behind.

Michael Pollan

What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. Henry Iv

William Shakespeare

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

Carl Gustav Jung

To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason?

William Blake

When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.

Mahatma Gandhi

In a start-up company, you basically throw out all assumptions every three weeks.

Scott McNealy

Can't trust a fascist--truth is always your first sacrifice to the welfare of the state

Matthew Stover

I'm an advocate for gay marriage. I have more gay friends than Carter has pills.

Patti Stanger

Now, even more than the evening before, he could think of no one with whom to compare her. She had become absolute, beyond comparison. She had become decision and fate.

Yasunari Kawabata

I love women's fashion, but women don't need me as much as men do. It's the men who have nothing to wear.

Roberto Cavalli

It cannot in the opinion of His Majesty's Government be classified as slavery in the extreme acceptance of the word without some risk of terminological inexactitude.

Sir Winston Churchill

The blazing brightnesse of her beauties beame, / And glorious light of her sunshyny face / To tell, were as to strive against the streame.

Edmund Spenser
