Absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends.

Ambrose Bierce

There were all us baby boomers who had a grammar school education, started to learn, then went on the pill, the whole thing, and so there are today a lot more women writers, editors, producers, and so a lot more women's stories. God, the BBC's practically run by women.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Since I speak and write about this a good deal, I am often asked at public meetings, in what sometimes seems to me a rather prurient way, whether I myself or my family have 'ever been threatened' by jihadists. My answer is that yes, I have, and so has everyone else in the audience, if they have paid enough attention to the relevant bin-Ladenist broadcasts to notice the fact.

A cultivated style would be like a mask. Everybody knows it's a mask, and sooner or later you must show yourself -- or at least, you show yourself as someone who could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind. You do not create a style. You work, and develop yourself; your style is an emanation from your own being.

Katherine Anne Porter

Hector Hugh Munro

I like doing things where I can get dirty, work with my hands, and use power tools. Last weekend, I did some grouting.

Nathan Fillion

All the things that truly matter - beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind.

Eckhart Tolle
