Taste is only to be educated by contemplation, not of the tolerably good but of the truly excellent. I therefore show you only the best works; and when you are grounded in these, you will have a standard for the rest, which you will know how to value, without overrating them.

A lot of people experience the world with the same incredulity as when a magician pulls a rabbit out of a hat.We know that the world is not all sleight of hand and deception because we are in it, we are part of it. Actually we are the white rabbit being pulled out of the hat. The only difference beween us and the white rabbit is that the rabbit does not realize it is taking part in a magic trick.

Jostein Gaarder

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Albert Einstein

Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.

George Orwell

Hopefully with each thing that you do you're learning something, you're growing, and you're pushing yourself a little harder in some way or another. So I think you'd be in real trouble if each new thing that you create didn't feel like 'Oh, wow. I feel like I'm doing something a little different this time.'

Rian Johnson

My mother was predominately a stay-at-home mom.

Andrew Rannells

It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor. Live bravely and present a brave front to adversity.

Horace

If I were you, I'd sue my face for slander.

Terry Pratchett

The bee himself did not evade the schoolboy more than she evaded me, and even at this day I still stand somewhat bewildered, like the boy.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Emil

Learning is any change in a system that produces a more or less permanent change in its capacity for adapting to its environment.

Herbert Simon

Eh, gentlemen, let us reckon upon accidents! Life is a chaplet of little miseries which the philosopher counts with a smile. Be philosophers, as I am, gentlemen; sit down at the table and let us drink. Nothing makes the future look so bright as surveying it through a glass of chambertin.

Alexandre Dumas

You cannot spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt.

Daniel Hannan

I no have education. I have inspiration. If I was educated, I would be a damn fool.

Bob Marley
