Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules, and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting.

I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people.

If our dreams were more regular, more connected, more stable, they would also have more practical importance for us.

Ernst Mach

The fact that I even get in Broadway shows is, to me, still amazing, but then to win a Tony was just incredible.

Jane Krakowski

Nor do they trust their tongue alone, but speak a language of their own; can read a nod, a shrug, a look, far better than a printed book; convey a libel in a frown, and wink a reputation down.

Jonathan Swift

Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself.

I took the dog out for a walk tonight, and together we wandered across the meadow next door. It was a warm summer's night, dark, and moonless. There were a handful of fireflies flickering intermittently, some so close to me I could see they were burning green as they flew, and some further away, who seemed to be flashing white.And in the sky above them a continual roil of distant summer lightning (the storm distant enough that it was silent) burned and flashed and illuminated the clouds. It seemed as if the lightning bugs were talking to the lightning, in a perfect call and response of flash and counterflash. I watched the sky and the meadow flash and flash while the dog walked ahead of me, and realised that I was perfectly happy...

Albert Einstein

Popular art is the dream of society it does not examine itself.

Margaret Atwood

Arbitrary power is like most other things which are very hard, very liable to be broken.

Abigail Adams

If your goal is anything but profitability - if it's to be big, or to grow fast, or to become a technology leader - you'll hit problems.
