Ambrose Bierce

Antonin Scalia

The law is reason, free from passion.

Aristotle

Everybody now seems to be talking about democracy. I don't understand this. As I think of it, democracy isn't like a Sunday suit to be brought out and worn only for parades. It's the kind of a life a decent man leads, it's something to live for and to die for.

Dalton Trumbo

No man ever did a designed injury to another, but at the same time he did a greater to himself.

Lord Kames

I like doing things where I can get dirty, work with my hands, and use power tools. Last weekend, I did some grouting.

Melancholy and sadness are the start of doubt... doubt is the beginning of despair; despair is the cruel beginning of the differing degrees of wickedness.

Isidore Ducasse Lautreamont

There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.

Friedrich Nietzsche

If I'm on location on some island, we usually get up at four in the morning to set up. By seven thirty, we're on the beach working until noon, then we rest. It's not exactly a vacation.

Daniela Pestova

I never dared to be radical when young for fear it would make me conservative when old.

Robert Frost
