I tasted freedom and I really liked it.

Experience - the wisdom that enables us to recognise in an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.

Ambrose Bierce

To win without risk is to triumph without glory.

Pierre Corneille

Vincent Van Gogh

If you don't care about quality, you can meet any other requirement.

Tester

I left my job in the fall, and now I can set my life up around writing instead of squeezing writing into my day it's amazing to have that time, and I feel very lucky.

Karen Thompson Walker

Ahmet Davutoglu

Napoleon Bonaparte

I have studios in the different places where I live - in Ibiza, Paris and London - but they're not crazy studios, they're just rooms with good monitors, and all I do is plug my laptop in. It's a different way to make music, but for me, I love it, because it's more connected to the world.

David Guetta

Nobody has ever denied that when it comes to his trade - gigolo - John Forbes Kerry is one of the all-time greats. He's in the Gigolo Hall of Fame.

Howie Carr

I have good hope that there is something after death.

Plato

And now that its ruby eyes are set into the gold, you cannot see their tear-shape, so they seem to be laughing rather than crying. It is a constant reminder to me of the human ability to create something beautiful even when things are at the darkest.

Cressida Cowell

No man flatters the woman he truly loves.

Tuckerman
