The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him. He is able, to a certain extent, to communicate his misery. He frightens other people as much as they frighten him. He acts like a damper upon the whole room, and the most jovial spirits become, in his presence, depressed and nervous.

Men who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.

Heraclitus

A customer who complains is my best friend.

Stew Leonard

Everyone lives by selling something.

Robert Louis Stevenson

There is no better way of exercising the imagination than the study of law. No poet ever interpreted nature as freely as a lawyer interprets the truth.

Jean Giraudoux

The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a patter of systems.

Bruce Lee

As for my diet, I try to eat lean, clean and healthy - nothing too surprising. And I avoid too much meat or dairy because they slow you down.

Bear Grylls

Not knowing how he lost himself, or how he recovered himself, he may never feel certain of not losing himself again.

Charles Dickens

Most Americans who read at all read junk... I think it is a fair generalization to say that European readers of fiction like novels to be challenging, to be demanding; nor do they follow trends or fashions in reading taste in the lemminglike manner of many readers in the United States.

John Irving

My dad died of a stroke.

William Shatner

Sto je lepo kratko traje.

Vesna Radulovic

We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading.

B. F. Skinner

The beautiful thing about hip-hop is it's like an audio collage. You can take any form of music and do it in a hip-hop way and it'll be a hip-hop song. That's the only music you can do that with.

Talib Kweli
