Jerry Seinfeld

The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.

Albert Camus

I have no ambition to govern men; it is a painful and thankless office.

Thomas Jefferson

If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Ursula K. Le Guin

People think I'm crazy because I travel too much, but I haven't been doing any of that lately because I got a little sick this year and I've tried to take care of it.

Lee Hazlewood

I'm 36 and if I met a woman of my own age and married her, I'd also be marrying her former life, her past. It might be OK for some people - I don't want to judge it or anything - but it's not for me. It would destroy my creativity.

Luke Ford

Don't hide your strategy under a bushel. Communicate it throughout your company. It's better today to disclose too much that too little.

Joel E. Ross

He was everything I needed because his entire character had been molded by my deepest wants and desires. He was my rock when I cried, my playmate when I laughed, and my hero when I needed to imagine that one existed for me.
