Thomas Carlyle

Sigmund Freud

Publilius Syrus

Since my education, I've done quite untraditional things. There are very few Etonians who went to Rada. And far fewer Etonians - certainly when I was there - went to Cambridge. I don't know whether it's the same now. Most people I knew went to Oxford, because it seemed more of an easy bridge.

Larry Hagman

The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.

Warren Bennis

Timothy Murphy

The narrative impulse is always with us; we couldn't imagine ourselves through a day without it.
