Sometimes you just gotta pet the whales.

To have found you is a dear happiness; and to be Apollo's son is beyond all my hopes; but there is something I want to say to you alone. Come; this is a private matter between us two - anything you tell me shall be as secret as the grave.

John Morley

We can realise a lasting peace and transform the East-West relationship to one of enduring co-operation.

George H. W. Bush

Tammy Bruce

You know that family is going to be there for you no matter what. My dad gave me a freakin' kidney!

We all learn best in our own ways. Some people do better studying one subject at a time, while some do better studying three things at once. Some people do best studying in structured, linear way, while others do best jumping around, surrounding a subject rather than traversing it. Some people prefer to learn by manipulating models, and others by reading.

Bill Gates

I have struck a city - a real city - and they call it Chicago... I urgently desire never to see it again. It is inhabited by savages.

Rudyard Kipling

To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.

Frank Lloyd Wright

I hope to continue writing. I hope to continue teaching.

Jenna Bush

Every human character appears only once in the history of human beings. And so does every event of love.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

Counsel woven into the fabric of real life is wisdom.

Walter Benjamin
