Quick to borrow is always slow to pay.

To see a player dunk in women's college basketball is just amazing. It's great to see that the game has reached that level now.

Holly Johnson

It is not scientism to concede the objectivity and precision of good science, any more than it is history worship to concede that Napoleon did once rule in France and the Holocaust actually happened. Those who fear the facts will forever try to discredit the fact-finders.

Daniel Dennett

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Your own safety is at stake when your neighbor's house is in flames.

Horace

One of the curious things about censorship is that no one seems to want it for himself. We want censorship to protect someone else; the young, the unstable, the suggestible, the stupid. I have never heard of anyone who wanted a film banned because otherwise he might see it and be harmed.

Edgar Dale

Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little we owe it everything. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.

William Cowper

When the leader passes over all alike, not making a distinction, then the endeavors of those who are capable of exertion are entirely lost.

Hitopadesa

Fault always lies in the same place: with him weak enough to lay blame.

Stephen King

The conduct of men depends upon the temperament, not upon a bunch of musty maxims.

Benjamin Disraeli

Failure and things of this sort - you can take it one of two ways. You can either let that hurt you and really affect the way that you live your life in the future, or you can use that as an opportunity for growth.

Matt Emmons

His sudden mad love for Sibyl Vane was a psychological phenomenon of no small interest. There was no doubt that curiosity had much to do with it, curiosity and the desire for new experiences; yet it was not a simple but rather a very complex passion.

Oscar Wilde

For me, prose walks, poetry dances.

James Broughton
