People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.

The truth can be spoken only by someone who is already at home in it; not by someone who still lives in untruthfulness, and does no more than reach out towards it from within untruthfulness.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

They have decided to tour under the name of Ten Years After which I don't think is very cool. To be honest, they have had to do that as it's the only way they can get any work.

Alvin Lee

Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but a weak flavor of genius in an essentially common person is detestable. It spoils the grand neutrality of a commonplace character, as the rinsings of an unwashed wine-glass spoil a draught of fair water.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.

Walt Disney

Japanese architecture is traditionally based on wooden structures that need renovating on a regular basis.

Tadao Ando

Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness, which this world affords.

William Samuel Johnson

The working men, I'll go by and they'll whistle. At first they whistle because they think, 'Oh, it's a girl. She's got blond hair and she's not out of shape,' and then they say, 'Gosh, it's Marilyn Monroe!'

Marilyn Monroe

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Heroine: Girl in a book who is saved from drowning by a hero and marries him next week, but if it was to be over again ten years later it is likely she would rather have a life-belt and he would rather have her have it

Mark Twain

Sweet is the lore which nature brings,our meddeling interlectmis-shapes the beautious forms of things.we murder to dissect

William Wordsworth

Why will we struggle to attain, and strive, When all we gain is but an empty dream?--Better, unto my thinking, doth it seemTo end it all and let who will survive;To find at last all beauty is but dust;That love and sorrow are the very same;That joy is only suffering's sweeter name;And sense is but the synonym of lust.Far better, yea, to me it seems to die;To set glad lips against the lips of Death--The only thing God gives that comforteth,The only thing we do not find a lie.http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16535/16535-8.txt
