But it is the way of youth that each fresh piece of knowledge of life should go to its head, and that once uplifted by an emotion it can never have enough of it.

He that is taken and put into prison or chains is not conquered, though overcome; for he is still an enemy.

Thomas Hobbes

A joke is a very serious thing.

Winston Churchill

I used to dread getting older because I thought I would not be able to do all the things I wanted to do, but now that I am older I find that I don't want to do them.

Nancy Astor, In Hammer and Tongu

Richard Milhous Nixon

There are lone figures armed only with ideas, sometimes with just one idea, who blast away whole epochs in which we are enwrapped like mummies. Some are powerful enough to resurrect the dead. Some steal on us unawares and put a spell over us which it takes centuries to throw off. Some put a curse on us, for our stupidity and inertia, and then it seems as if God himself were unable to lift it.

Henry Miller

Bats drink on the wing, like swallows, by sipping the surface, as they play over pools and streams.

Gilbert White

A little integrity is better than any career

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A writer who writes, I am alone... can be considered rather comical.

To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.

Maurice Blanchot

If you are tired of partisanship over patriotism, you need to vote for a change in direction.

Jennifer Granholm

If I thought that a smile of mine, might linger the whole day through and lighten some heart with a heavier part, I'd not withhold it -- Would you?

Aku telah mengidap sakit gila nomor enam belas: yakni penyakit manusia yang membuat dunia sendiri dalam kepalanya, menciptakan masalah-masalahnya sendiri, terpuruk di dalamnya, lalu menyelesaikan masalah-masalah itu, sambil tertawa-tawa, juga sendirian.
