I thought, after the Pulitzer, at least nothing will surprise me quite that much in my life. And another one happened. It was quite amazing.

I simply don't believe in failure. In itself, it doesn't exist. We create it. We make ourselves fail.

Alice Foote MacDougall

Existují takové v?ci jako jedlé... ne, delikátní pirohy v polévce, hrášky dokonale uva?ené, rajská omá?ka pikantní ve své chu?ové plnosti a masová nápl? z on?ch?ástí zví?at, které by se daly v?tšinou i pojmenovat. Jsou platonické burgery vyrobené z hov?zího a ne z volské tlamy a kopyt. Jsou jisté obchody, kde mají smažené filé s pomfrity, kdy filé je ryba a ne jen bílá b?e?ka v rakvi?ce ze smažené strouhanky a pomfrity jsou k jídlu a nedají se použít k holení. Jsou párky v rohlíku, kdy mají párky s masem spole?nou nejen barvu a jejich š?astní konzumenti si na n? nedávají ho??ici, aby nepokazili tu chu?. D?ležité však je, že se lidé dají nau?it na to, aby dávali p?ednost ob?erstvení toho prvního typu a vyhledávali je. Je to, jako kdyby Machiavelli napsal kucha?ku. Ale a? už se mají v?ci jakkoliv, neexistuje omluva pro nikoho, kdo dá na pizzu ananas.

Terry Pratchett

Bad experience is a school that only fools keep going to.

Ezra Taft Benson

A mind, like a home, is furnished by its owner, so if one's life is cold and bare he can blame none but himself.

Louis L'Amour

There is something exciting about being in an environment in which it's really cool to be smart.

Freeman A. Hrabowski III

That night it did not rain as much in the sky as it did in his heart.

Faraaz Kazi

In an age when the fashion is to be in love with yourself, confessing to be in love with somebody else is an admission of unfaithfulness to one's beloved.

Russell Baker

I am known for a life spent in the struggle for freedom, and freedom includes the freedom of religion.

Oriana Fallaci

You must not for one instant give up the effort to build new lives for yourselves. Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life. This is not an easy struggle. Indeed, it may be the most difficult task in the world, for opening the door to your own life is, in the end, more difficult than opening the doors to the mysteries of the universe.

Daisaku Ikeda

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of face within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.

Calvin Coolidge

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

Bill Watterson

When lying, be emphatic and indignant, thus behaving like your children.

William Feather
