Any supervisor worth his salt would rather deal with people who attempt too much than with those who try too little.

With the song 'This Christmas' I wanted to do something that was kind of different. I mean, Donny Hathaway is an amazing artist. So I wanted to bring my flavor to the song so when people over the age of 45 or 50 hear it they'll be like 'OK, he did his thing with that record.' It's like I can appeal to everybody and not just a younger demographic.

Chris Brown

... this is a hard world to be ludicrous in, with so many human beings so reluctant to laugh, so incapable of thought, so eager to believe and snarl and hate. So many people wanted to believe me! Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile!

Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

Cold in the earth - and the deep snow piled above thee,Far, far, removed, cold in the dreary grave!

Emily Bront, Remembrance

White people really deal more with God and black people with Jesus.

Nikki Giovanni

In morals what begins in fear usually ends in wickedness in religion what begins in fear usually ends in fanaticism. Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil.

Anna Jameson

The body is the soul's poor house or home, whose ribs the laths are and whose flesh the loam.

Robert Herrick

A good scare is worth more to a man than good advice.

E. W. Howe

The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax.

Albert Einstein

What we call personality (...) has become the most impersonal thing in the world. Its pale and featureless face appears like a ghost at every corner and in every crowd. ... Individualism kills individuality, precisely because individualism has to be an 'ism' quite as much as Communism or Calvinism. The economic and ethical school which calls itself individualist ended by threatening the world with the flattest and dullest spread of the commonplace. Men, instead of being themselves, set out to find a self to be: a sort of abstract economic self identified with self-interest. But while the self was that of a man, the self-interest was generally that of a class or a trade or even an empire. So far from really remaining a separate self, the man became part of a communal mass of selfishness.

G. K. Chesterton, February 25, 1

For you who no longer posses it, freedom is everything, for us who do, it is merely an illusion.

Emile M. Cioran

My mom's hot. I mean she's old, but my mom's out of control.

Paul Walker

For strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.

Arthur Conan Doyle
