The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.

Elizabeth Hardwick

Hermione launched herself forwards and started punching every inch of him that she could reach.'Ouch ow gerroff! What the ? Hermione OW!'You complete arse Ronald Weasley!She punctuated every word with a blow: Ron backed away, shielding his head as Hermione advanced.

J.K. Rowling

Oscar Wilde

Say 'no' more than 'yes,' and just make sure you surround yourself with good people.

Carl Levin

All sects are different, because they come from men morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.

Voltaire

Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when it is the only idea we have.

Proverb

Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It's part ballet. It's part battleground, part playground.

Padma Lakshmi

Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly found, given, and transmitted from the past.

Karl Marx, Letter to Joseph Wede

Science says the first word on everything, and the last word on nothing.

Victor Hugo
