John Ruskin

Whether you were talking about Pillsbury, Burger King, Godfather's, the National Restaurant Association, in each one of those situations, I had a daunting problem that I had to solve.

Paul Walker

Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.

Ludwig van Beethoven

John Lennon

Between flattery and admiration there often flows a river of contempt.

Minna Antrim

God forbid that India should ever take to industrialism after the manner of the west... keeping the world in chains. If [our nation] took to similar economic exploitation, it would strip the world bare like locusts.

This is the very worst wickedness, that we refuse to acknowledge the passionate evil that is in us. This makes us secret and rotten.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence
