My plan of instruction is extremely simple and limited. They learn, on week-days, such coarse works as may fit them for servants. I allow of no writing for the poor. My object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety.

The blood jet is poetry and there is no stopping it.

To enjoy life, you don't need fancy nonsense, but you do need to control your time and realize that most things just aren't as serious as you make them out to be.

Timothy Ferriss

Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.

Joan Collins

We would be a lot safer if the Government would take its money out of science and put it into astrology and the reading of palms. Only in superstition is there hope. If you want to become a friend of civilization, then become an enemy of the truth and a fanatic for harmless balderdash.

Kurt Vonnegut

There have been many different artists that have been inspirational. I suppose the question is directed to what was the reason why I went into fantasy illustration.

Boris Vallejo

I won't sit here and say I've never had a pimple, but I try to have a really great diet, you know, lots of vegetables and fish. And I think stress plays a huge part too.

Janelle Monae

I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me. I write a book for no other reason than to add three or four hundred acres to my magnificent estate.

Jack London

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.

Elie Wiesel

I find it unusual that it is more socially acceptable to complain about what you have than it is to ask for what you want.

Phil Lout

Fear not, we are of the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of mice and such small beasts.
