No rock so hard but that a little wave may beat admission in a thousand years.

Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.

Sun Tzu

I am writing more than I have ever done. My life has come back to me in the most extraordinary way.

Andrew Motion

Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven!

Lord Byron

You have never talked to a mere mortal.

C.S. Lewis

We are a conquering race. We must obey our blood and occupy new markets and if necessary new lands.

Albert J. Beveridge

And, re-assembling our afflicted powers, consult how we may henceforth most offend.

John Milton

I'm dating a woman now who, evidently, is unaware of it.

Garry Shandling

He didn't marry you to become king. He became king because he wanted to marry you.

Megan Whalen Turner

He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

Albert Einstein

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

Kahlil Gibran

The truth isn't the truth until people believe you, and they can't believe you if they don't know what your saying, and they can't know what you've saying if they don't listen to you, and they won't listen to you if you're not interesting, and you won't be interesting until you say things imaginatively, originally, freshly.

William Bernbach

The public, with its mob yearning to be instructed, edified and pulled by the nose, demands certainties; it must be told definitely and a bit raucously that this is true and that is false. But there are no certainties.
