A strange thing has happened -- while all the other arts were born naked, this, the youngest, has been born fully-clothed. It can say everything before it has anything to say. It is as if the savage tribe, instead of finding two bars of iron to play with, had found scattering the seashore fiddles, flutes, saxophones, trumpets, grand pianos by Erhard and Bechstein, and had begun with incredible energy, but without knowing a note of music, to hammer and thump upon them all at the same time.

Charlotte Featherstone

Everyone knows that if you've got a brother, you're going to fight.

Liam Gallagher

Many a man fails as an original thinker simply because his memory it too good.

Friedrich Nietzsche

When you're looking that far out, you're giving people their place in the universe, it touches people. Science is often visual, so it doesn't need translation. It's like poetry, it touches you.

Story Musgrave

The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)
