I think often, and never without a certain fear of Nessim's love for Justine. It coloured his unhappiness with a kind of ecstasy Yet one touch of humour would have saved him from such dreadful comprehensive suffering.

In general, the short game has been most effective. Besides working hard on it I always used my imagination with a touch of feel in my hands. You should hit the ball according to what your mind dictates but previously you should visualise the shot. This can be achieved with extremely high concentration. All the difficult shots are hit with the hands. I have hit shots simply by visualising the run of the ball. I had no problem in doing this because my mind clearly indicated I could not miss. I do not stand out any particular shot because it is necessary to believe in yourself to overcome any difficulties.

If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president's.

That's the crazy thing about lies. You start to fall for them, yourself.

Jodi Picoult

A state is not a mere society, having a common place, established for the prevention of mutual crime and for the sake of exchange.... Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not of mere companionship.

Aristotle

We have been educated to such a fine -- or dull -- point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it's all about. We don't trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation. In short, the blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.

Henry Miller

When you consider all the stars I have managed, mere submarines make me smile.

Charles Frohman

Perhaps some people really are born unhappy. I surely hope not. Speaking for my sister and myself: We were born with the capacity and determination to be utterly happy all the time. Perhaps even in this we were freaks. Hi ho.

Kurt Vonnegut

If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.

T. Harv Eker

When I started the business, I hardly went home. I became very driven about work and about my career.

Calvin Klein

He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.

President Obama likes to talk about the Buffett Rule. Well, here's a Buffett Rule that all Americans should be able to support: mom and pop businesses should not pay a higher tax rate than Fortune 500 corporations like Warren Buffett's.
