Unfortunately, writing and reporting the truth is not allowed under Castro's tyrannical dictatorship.

I delight in my family obligations, but they leave little time for breaks let alone quick trips across the country.

Carre Otis

A good designer must rely on experience, on precise, logic thinking and on pedantic exactness. No magic will do.

Niklaus Wirth

I'll be inside the one who holds you. And then I won't be.

Francesca Lia Block

I want some one to sit beside after the day's pursuit and all its anguish, after its listening, its waitings, and its suspicions. After quarreling and reconciliation I need privacy--to be alone with you, to set this hubbub in order. For I am as neat as a cat in my habits.

Virginia Woolf

It is a miserable state of mind to have few things to desire and many things to fear.

Francis Bacon

Do not trust your memory; it is a net full of holes; the most beautiful prizes slip through it.

Georges Duhamel, The Heart's Dom

That bodies should be lent us, while they can afford us pleasure, assist us in acquiring knowledge, or doing good to our fellow creatures, is a kind and benevolent act of God - when they become unfit for these purposes and afford us pain instead of pleasure-instead of an aid, become an encumbrance and answer none of the intentions for which they were given, it is equally kind and benevolent that a way is provided by which we may get rid of them. Death is that way.

Benjamin Franklin

The rigour of science requires that we distinguish well the undraped figure of Nature itself from the gay-coloured vesture with which we clothe her at our pleasure.

Heinrich Hertz

A heart without dreams is like a bird without feathers.

Suzy Kassem

My advice is to look out for engineers. They begin with sewing machines and end up with nuclear bombs.

Marcel Pagnol

Ask not the name of him who asks you for a bed. It is especially he whose name is a burden to him, who has need of an asylum (room).

Victor Hugo

Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.

Martin Luther King Jr.
