The way a child discovers the world constantly replicates the way science began. You start to notice what's around you, and you get very curious about how things work. How things interrelate. It's as simple as seeing a bug that intrigues you. You want to know where it goes at night; who its friends are; what it eats.

Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over

Ernest Hemingway

Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.

Henry David Thoreau

The hard part about writing a novel is finishing it.

Ernest Hemingway

Men's private self-worlds are rather like our geographical world's seasons, storm, and sun, deserts, oases, mountains and abysses, the endless-seeming plateaus, darkness and light, and always the sowing and the reaping.

Faith Baldwin

You can come to understand your purpose in life by slowing down and feeling your heart's desires.

Marcia Wieder

I ran into Ellen at a photo shoot. She took my breath away. That had never happened to me in my life.

Portia de Rossi

He was not worthy, not... Their eyes for a moment met. What treasures hers promised! A queen's ransom of temperament. Hastily he looked away, disengaged his imprisoned arm. He was obscurely terrified lest she should cease to be something he could feel himself unworthy of.

Aldous Huxley

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.

Francis Bacon

... going out late at night and laying in the dewy field and reading a Kurt Vonnegut book by moonlight.

John Green

In sport there is never any moment that is the same as the other. I have been in Formula One for 12 years, and out of that I had one year with the perfect car.

Michael Schumacher

When I started this project, I was a young architect. I was very apprehensive about any changes to the design. Whether I wanted to or not, I learned that you can accept some changes to its form without compromising its intent. But it's a leap of faith that I didn't want to make initially - to put it mildly.

Michael Arad

A fresh mind keeps the body fresh. Take in the ideas of the day, drain off those of yesterday. As to the morrow, time enough to consider it when it becomes today.
