How poor are they that have not patience. What wound did ever heal but by degrees?

Parce que tu me parles avec des mots et moi, je te regarde avec des sentiments.

- Anna Karina in Jean-Luc Godard

Prosperity or egalitarianism -- you have to choose. I favor freedom -- you never achieve real equality anyway: you simply sacrifice prosperity for an illusion.

Mario Vargas Llosa

To be candid, in Middlemarch phraseology, meant, to use an early opportunity of letting your friends know that you did not take a cheerful view of their capacity, their conduct, or their position; and a robust candor never waited to be asked for its opinion.

George Eliot

Nel piccolo mondo in cui i bambini vivono la loro esistenza, chiunque li allevi, non c'è nulla che venga percepito più acutamente dell'ingiustizia. Può darsi che sia solo una piccola ingiustizia quella che il bambino si trova a subire; ma il bambino è piccolo, e il suo mondo è piccolo, e il suo cavallino a dondolo è tante spanne più alto di lui quanto, in proporzione, un cavallo irlandese dalla grossa ossatura. Io, dentro di me, avevo sostenuto un perpetuo conflitto contro l'ingiustizia fin dalla prima infanzia.

Charles Dickens

You can't stay married in a situation where you are afraid to go to sleep in case your wife might cut your throat.

Mike Tyson

The type of cuisine I do, especially after being on 'Iron Chef' for several years, is a lot of global cuisine. My strength has always been Mediterranean cuisine across the board from Morocco, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, but I think now I'm doing a lot of very different cuisines all the time.

Cat Cora

Genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains.

Thomas Carlyle

The only risk of failure is promotion.

Scott Adams

Rails is a love letter to Ruby.

David Heinemeier Hansson

We can't have full knowledge all at once. We must start by believing then afterwards we may be led on to master the evidence for ourselves.

Thomas Aquinas

This may sound funny, but as much as the 'Today' show matured me, it also was something of a cocoon. I'd been happy there. I never went into the boss's office and pounded my fist on the desk, saying, 'Give me more money! Give me a prime-time show!'

Jane Pauley

My ultimate aim is to make euthanasia a positive experience.

Jack Kevorkian
