It is a peculiarity of the American mind that it regards any excursion into the truth as an adventure into cynicism

Of course I have bills to pay, but at the same time, it's more about the passion and the love, and I think that's where music should come from, the heart, not necessarily just to cash a check.

Ludacris

Nobody shoots at Santa Claus.

Alfred E. Smith

There is no fate that can not be surmounted by scorn. If the descent is thus sometimes performed in sorrow, it can also take place in joy. This word is not too much. Again I fancy Sisyphus returning toward his rock, and the sorrow was in the beginning.

Albert Camus

All democracies are based on the proposition that power is very dangerous and that it is extremely important not to let any one person or small group have too much power for too long a time

Aldous Huxley

When our knowing exceeds our sensing, we will no longer be deceived by the illusions of our senses.

Walter Russell

One mustn't ask apple trees for oranges, France for sun, women for love, life for happiness.

Gustave Flaubert

On the whole, men are more good than bad; that, however, isn't the real point. But they are more or less ignorant, and it is this that we call vice or virtue; the most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance that fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. The soul of the murderer is blind; and there can be no true goodness nor true love without the utmost clear-sightedness.

Albert Camus

One time my mom tried to ground me, but that lasted 15 minutes.

Bam Margera

In a republican nation, whose citizens are to be led by reason and persuasion and not by force, the art of reasoning becomes of first importance

Thomas Jefferson

Love, then, hath every bliss in store; 'Tis friendship, and 'tis something more. Each other every wish they give; Not to know love is not to live.

John Gay

Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God.

Thomas Jefferson

The human race is faced with a cruel choice: work or daytime television.
