Seeing a murder on television... can help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some.

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.

Leonardo da Vinci

Something about glamour interested me. All my schoolbooks had drawings of women on terraces with a cocktail and a cigarette.

Bill Blass

I think the one thing this picture shows that's new is the psychological disproportion of the kids' demands on the parents. Parents are often at fault, but the kids have some work to do, too.

James Dean

We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgment.

Friedrich Nietzsche

My only fear is that I may live too long. This would be a subject of dread to me.

Christopher Lasch

A veritable incubator of short cuts, schemes and devices to overcome the truth.

David A. Stockman

I do must decidedly object, and have a most invincible and powerful repugnance to that frequent reference to the Almighty in small matters, which so many excellent persons consider necessary in the education of children. I think it monstrous to hold the source of inconceivable mercy and goodness perpetually up to them as an avenging and wrathful God who - making them in His wisdom children before they are men and women - is to punish them awfully for every little venial offence which is almost a necessary part of that stage of life.

Charles Dickens

Look, everything that you experience as a kid is the foundation of how you are today. I was brought up in a working class family in Leeds and when it comes to money both my parents worked hard and instilled the same attitude into me.

Melanie Brown

It has become part of the accepted wisdom to say that the twentieth century was the century of physics and the twenty-first century will be the century of biology.

Freeman Dyson

To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world.
