Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75.

The integrity of the game is everything.

Peter Ueberroth

I don't know any other lifestyle. I get up in the morning and I really do feel that the world is my oyster, and I start that way, the same as I would if I were preparing to write a song: put a blank piece of paper up on the piano and you go for it.

Lesley Gore

I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself.

Ferdinand Porsche

What is past is prologue.

William Shakespeare

The poet is the sayer, the namer, and represents beauty. He is a sovereign, and stands on the centre. For the world is not painted, or adorned, but is from the beginning beautiful; and God has not made some beautiful things, but Beauty is the creator of the universe. Therefore the poet is not any permissive potentate, but is emperor in his own right. Criticism is infested with a cant of materialism, which assumes that manual skill and activity is the first merit of all men, and disparages such as say and do not, overlooking the fact, that some men, namely, poets, are natural sayers, sent into the world to the end of expression, and confounds them with those whose province is action, but who quit it to imitate the sayers. The poet does not wait for the hero or the sage, but, as they act and think primarily, so he writes primarily what will and must be spoken, reckoning the others, though primaries also, yet, in respect to him, secondaries and servants; as sitters or models in the studio of a painter, or as assistants who bring building materials to an architect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Viennese wash everything. Where else in the world does the government hire public servants to wash public telephone booths and the glass over traffic lights? Every time I see someone doing these things, I smile like a child.

Jonathan Carroll

The devil can site scripture for his own purpose! An evil soul producing holy witness is like a villain with a smiling cheek. Merchant Of Venice

William Shakespeare

When a writer talks about his work, he's talking about a love affair.

Alfred Kazin

It was my mother's idea. Her feeling was that I didn't have the intelligence to pick a trade myself.

Vidal Sassoon

Remember, nothing in life comes labeled, YOU are the labeler.

Steve Maraboli

It's amazing to me that we humans have the intellectual capacity to ask deep questions and to devise methods for learning how the universe works and how its contents evolve with time.

Alex Filippenko

I read part of it all the way through.

Samuel Goldwyn
