On the shining yards of heavenSee a wider dawn unfurled. . . . The eternal slaves of beautyAre the masters of the world.

My death, taking the light from my eyes, gives back to the day the purity which they soiled.

Jean Racine

Je puis nier une chose sans me croire obligé de la salir ou de retirer aux autres le droit d'y croire.

Albert Camus

I like to be beholden to the great metropolitan English speech, the sea which receives tributaries from every region under heaven.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I worry whether it's not really the best way to live one's life - trying to fulfill the dreams you had as a child. Maybe it's quite a backwards approach.

Joe Cornish

I'm convinced I got signed because of who I am. And it makes me sad.

Jeff Buckley

Michio Kaku

As to diseases, make a habit of two things - to help, or at least, to do no harm.

Hippocrates, Epidemics

One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.

Walter Scott

But I think there's something wonderful and extraordinary about climbing on your own and just that kind of relationship to the environment. I'm very addicted to the mountains. You know, so, I do like that solitude.

Andy Serkis

Edie Falco

I'm going from doing all of the work to having to delegate the work - which is almost harder for me than doing the work myself. I'm a lousy delegator, but I'm learning.

Alton Brown

You know, 'The Golden Girls' was a very unusual show to start on. I was young, and it was a show about old people, and it was a very traditional show, but it was also an amazing training ground for a joke-writer. It forced me to learn those skills.
