Sorrow makes us children again.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be a loner. That gives you time to wonder, to search for the truth. Have holy curiosity. Make your life worth living.

Albert Einstein

Rita Mae Brown

Power is the ability to get things done.

Rosabeth Moss Kanter

One of the juiciest pleasures of life is to be able to salute and embrace, as elected leaders and honored representatives, people whom you first met when they were on the run or in exile or (like Adam) in and out of jail. I was to have this experience again, and I hope to have it many more times in the future: it sometimes allows me to feel that life is full of point.

Christopher Hitchens

I try to just communicate what I want done as clearly and simply as possible.

Dick Wolf

I'd rather have huge success and huge failures than travel in the middle of the road.

Kevyn Aucoin

Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese.

Luis Bunuel

There's a victory, and defeat the first and best of victories, the lowest and worst of defeats which each man gains or sustains at the hands not of another, but of himself.

Plato
