The bicycle had what is called the 'wabbles', and had them very badly. In order to keep my position, a good many things were required of me, and in every instance the thing required was against nature. Against nature, but not against the laws of nature.

Mark Twain

All writers are vain, selfish, and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives there lies a mystery. Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.

And yet it is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one's own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane.

Design is not for philosophy it's for life.

Issey Miyake

Life is a tide; float on it. Go down with it and go up with it, but be detached. Then it is not difficult.

Prem Rawat

Whoever thinks of going to bed before twelve o'clock is a scoundrel.

Samuel Johnson

You can't let one bad moment spoil a bunch of good ones.

Dale Earnhardt

The job of a judge is to figure out what the law says, not what he wants it to say. There is a difference between the role of a judge and that of a policy maker... Judging requires a certain impartiality.

Clarence Thomas, "in the Wall St
