Traveling makes men wiser, but less happy

The writer is all alone.

V. S. Naipaul

Pride is seldom delicate; it will please itself with very mean advantages.

Samuel Johnson

Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why --but the editorialists forget it --terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.

John Berger

Never in LIfe will you disappoint yourself if you stay true to you!

Nicety

There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.

Helen Keller

Margaret Mead

My good friends are Mormon, some of the best people I know.

Katherine Heigl

I would love to do more private concerts.

Renee Fleming

He must have known me if he had seen me as he was wont to see me, for he was in the habit of flogging me constantly. Perhaps he did not recognize me by my face.

Anthony Trollope

The human imagination... has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams, like a dog in its basket, of hares in the open.

John Berger

The secret of success is this: there is no secret of success.

Elbert Hubbard

Time will make it worse! You're...the other half of his soul. He's never going to get over you. And no matter how much you hope that you will... you'll never get over him. You're going to wake up one day and realize what you've done, and you're going to regret the time you wasted apart from him for the rest of your life.
