The sun had burned through and the day had gone from dull to dazzling, yet in the west blask-satin thunderheads continued to stack up. It was as if night has burst a blood-vessel in the sky over there.

Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your Living room by people you wouldn't have in your house.

David Frost

Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.

George Eliot

A Dandy is a clothes-wearing Man, a Man whose trade, office and existence consists in the wearing of clothes.

Thomas Carlyle

The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.

Kurt Vonnegut

Religion is a subject on which I have ever been most scrupulously reserved. I have considered it as a matter between every man and his Maker in which no other, and far less the public, had a right to intermeddle.

Thomas Jefferson

And now, because of a song, Vimes, a simple piece of music, Vimes, soft as a breath, stranger than a mountain, some very powerful states have agreed to work together to heal the problems of another autonomous state and, almost as collateral, turn some animals into people at a stroke.

Terry Pratchett

One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is the intermixing of different genres.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Happy families are all alike every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

Leo Tolstoy

I hope to get out before they start football next year.

Bear Bryant

You're talking about a younger generation, Generation Y, whose interpersonal communication skills are different from Generation X. The younger generation is more comfortable saying something through a digital mechanism than even face to face.

Erik Qualman

Either we live by accident and die by accident, or we live by plan and die by plan.

Thornton Wilder

A person is never happy till their vague strivings has itself marked out its proper limitations.

Johann von Goethe
