I think that life is about growth. You continue to grow and progress, hopefully.

Part of the function of memory is to forget; the omni-retentive mind will break down and produce at best an idiot savant who can recite a telephone book, and at worst a person to whom every grudge and slight is as yesterday's.

Christopher Hitchens

Virtue must be valuable, if men and women of all degrees pretend to have it.

Edward W. Howe

If frugality were established in the state, and if our expenses were laid out to meet needs rather than superfluities of life, there might be fewer wants, and even fewer pleasures, but infinitely more happiness.

Oliver Goldsmith

In the midst of excitement, grief, joy, and solitude, I remind myself every moment that the sole mission of my life is to find the ultimate questioner - that unimaginable who has put me in this madness to answer an unanswerable question.

Kedar Joshi

Good news doesn't necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to one's fellow man.

Patti Smith

I love extreme sports, I like snowboarding and motorcross and rollerblading and hockey.

Jeremy London

Only if we can restrain ourselves is good conversation possible. Good talk rises upon much discipline.

John Erskine

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

Patrick Henry

I'm only interested in fiction that in some way or other voices the very imagination which is conceiving it.

John C. Hawkes

Justice should remove the bandage from her eyes long enough to distinguish between the vicious and the unfortunate.

Robert G. Ingersoll

Wendell Berry

After three days men grow weary, of a wench, a guest, and weather rainy.

Benjamin Franklin
