I walk slowly, but I never walk backward.

The city needs a car like a fish needs a bicycle.

Dean Kamen

To hear complaints is tiresome to the miserable and the happy.

Johnson

Me propongo a describir, con precisión, hechos que finalmente han provocado mi forzosa estadía en este manicomio con el insólito consentimiento de mi amadísima familia, alumnos, colegas y amistades, habiendo sido recluido específicamente en el pabellón de los personajes famosos, dignidad esta que rechazo de plano.

Eduardo Liendo

Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.

Voltaire

I have never met any really wicked person before. I feel rather frightened. I am so afraid he will look just like every one else.

Oscar Wilde

Sandra Oh

It's a noir world. Unfair things happen.

Rob Thomas

Facts quite often, I fear to confess, like lawyers, put me to sleep at noon. Not theories, however. Theories are invigorating and tonic. Give me an ounce of fact and I will produce you a ton of theory by tea this afternoon. That is, after all, my job.

Ray Bradbury, From the foreward

Vaclav Havel

No nation, no matter how enlightened, can endure criminal violence. If we cannot control it, we are admitting to the world and to ourselves that our laws are no more than a facade that crumbles when the winds of crisis rise.

Alan Biole

Popular opinion is the greatest lie in the world.

Thomas Carlyle

People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.

David Attenborough
