Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.

The miserable have no other medicine but hope.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I've been making sushi for 38 years, and I'm still learning. You have to consider the size and color of the ingredients, how much salt and vinegar to use and how the seasons affect the fattiness of the fish.

Masaharu Morimoto

Doing the right thing has power.

Laura Linney

The young man who has not wept is a savage, and the old man who will not laugh is a fool.

George Santayana

We believe that it is possible for scientific work to gain some knowledge about the reality of the world, by means of which we can increase out power and in accordance with which we can arrange our life. If this belief is an illusion, then we are in the same position as you. But science has given us evidence by its numerous and important successes that it is no illusion.

Sigmund Freud

I love each and every one of you but, like my own family, you thrill, you frustrate, you anger.

John Buchanan

My mom is this liberal, feminist, Mormon powerhouse. I just love her to death.

Eliza Dushku

If you want drama, settle for the one who will change your relationship status. If you want love, wait for the one who will change your life.

Steve Maraboli

Beauty without grace is like a fish far displaced from the water and looking at this kind of beauty is like watching that fish die right there on the cement in front of you.

C. JoyBell C.

Rome was mud and smoky skies; the rank smell of the Tiber and the exotically spiced cooking fires of a hundred different nationalities. Rome was white marble and gilding and heady perfumes; the blare of trumpets and the shrieking of market-women and the eternal, sub-aural hum of more people, speaking more languages than Gaius had ever imagined existed, crammed together on seven hills whose contours had long ago disappeared beneath this encrustation if humanity. Rome was the pulsing heart of the world.

Marion Zimmer Bradley

My own experience and development deepen everyday my conviction that our moral progress may be measured by the degree in which we sympathize with individual suffering and individual joy.

George Eliot

If we consider the superiority of the human species, the size of its brain, its powers of thinking, language and organization, we can say this: were there the slightest possibility that another rival or superior species might appear, on earth or elsewhere, man would use every means at his disposal to destroy it.

Jean Baudrillard
