Organisms by their design are not made to adapt too far.

I'd love to be a saxophonist. I don't know why, but I pretend I'm the saxophonist when I listen to music. I have about as much chance playing the sax as I do learning how to fly.

Richard Price

To him that you tell your secret you resign your liberty.

Anon.

I got a telegraph from my mother who said that my step-father had had a heart attack, come home and earn a living. So I went back to England and the only thing I knew to earn any cash was through hairdressing.

Vidal Sassoon

Brian Sandoval

A healthy democracy requires a decent society it requires that we are honorable, generous, tolerant and respectful.

Charles W. Pickering

In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.

Karl Marx

Men of action, above all those whose actions are guided by love, live forever.

Jose Marti

Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.

William Shakespeare

Jane Austen

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique. It's not easy, but if you accept your misfortune and handle it right your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound re-invention.

Conan O'Brien

I don't like when people say 'I can't believe I wasted the whole day reading.' Diving into another world to free your mind is hardly a waste.
