It was strange how your world could shift on its axis and everything you trusted could invest itself in what seemed like no time at all.

I really don't have any solutions and I don't like movies that do.

Charlie Kaufman

My kingdom is as wide as the universe and my wants have no limits. I go forward always, freeing spirits and weighing worlds, without fear, without compassion, without love, without God. I am called Science.

Gustave Flaubert

The one woman who never gives herself is your free woman, who is always giving herself.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

Thee will find out in time that I have a great love of professing vile sentiments, I don't know why, unless it springs from long efforts to avoid priggery.

Bertrand Russell

Self-trust is the first secret of success.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have always taken as the standard of the mode of teaching and writing, not the abstract, particular, professional philosopher, but universal man, that I have regarded man as the criterion of truth, and not this or that founder of a system, and have from the first placed the highest excellence of the philosopher in this, that he abstains, both as a man and as an author, from the ostentation of philosophy, i.e., that he is a philosopher only in reality, not formally, that he is a quiet philosopher, not a loud and still less a brawling one.

Ludwig Feuerbach

I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere near the place.

Steven Wright

Religion, like water, may be free, but when they pipe it to you, you've got to help pay for piping. And the Piper!

Abigail Van Buren

Society friendship and love Divinely bestow'd upon man, O had I the wings of a dove How soon I would taste you again!

William Cowper

Form and function are a unity, two sides of one coin. In order to enhance function, appropriate form must exist or be created.

Ida P. Rolf

In the last analysis sound judgment will prevail.

Joseph Cannon

Our works and our play. All our pleasures experienced as the pleasure of love. What could be better that? To feel in one's work the tender and flushed substance of one's dearest concern.

Mary Caroline Richards
