'Til the infallibility of human judgements shall have been proved to me, I shall demand the abolition of the penalty of death.

My favourite words are possibilities, opportunities and curiosity. I think if you are curious, you create opportunities, and then if you open the doors, you create possibilities.

Mario Testino

Dear God, said Will, looking from Charlotte to Nate and back again. Is there anything that makes women sillier than the sight of a wounded young man?Tessa slitted her eyes at him. You might want to clean the rest of the blood of your face before you continue arguing in that vein.Will threw his arms up in the air and stalked off. Charlotte looked at Tessa, a half smile curving the side of her mouth. I must say, I rather like the way you manage Will.Tessa shook her head. No one manages Will.

Cassandra Clare

Happiness is actually found in simple things, such as taking my nephew around the island by bicycle or seeing the stars at night. We go to coffee shops or see airplanes land at the airport.

David Mamet

We rely upon the poets, the philosophers, and the playwrights to articulate what most of us can only feel, in joy or sorrow. They illuminate the thoughts for which we only grope; they give us the strength and balm we cannot find in ourselves. Whenever I feel my courage wavering, I rush to them. They give me the wisdom of acceptance, the will and resiliance to push on.

Helen Hayes

He soon felt that the realization of his desire had given him only a grain of the mountain of happiness he had expected. It showed him the eternal error people make in imagining that happiness is the realization of desires.

Leo Tolstoy

Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?

Albert Camus

Love is feeling cold in the back of vans Love is a fanclub with only two fans

Adrian Henri

It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it's energy. It's the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see.

Josef Albers

God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into its nest.

J. G. Holland

A man of genius has been seldom ruined but by himself.

Samuel Johnson

Take young researchers, put them together in virtual seclusion, give them an unprecedented degree of freedom and turn up the pressure by fostering competitiveness.
