What I

We credit scarcely any persons with good sense except those who are of our opinion.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The worst food you'll ever eat will probably be prepared by a 'cook' who calls himself a 'chef.' Mark my words.

Alton Brown

Let's forgive someone for Valentines day, it's a great way to show love, and forgive yourself too for the hurt you held onto.

Jay Woodman

There are some forms of religion that are bad, just as there's bad cooking or bad art or bad sex, you have bad religion too.

Karen Armstrong

Happy he who learns to bear what he cannot change.

Friedrich von Schiller

Richard Rogers

A child understands fear, and the hurt and hate it brings.

Nadine Gordimer

Adulthood is accretive by nature, a thing which arrives in ragged stages and uneven overlaps.

Stephen King

I never know when I am being funny, and the other way too. I don't think you can think about that. I don't think you can try to be funny. Some people are just funny.

Christopher Walken

I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know? And for the last 20 years - you've got to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and then go on your merry way and start again, in a sense, and that's what I've been doing.

Colin Hay

He had always wanted to write Music and he could give no other identity to the thing he sought. If you want to know what it is, he told himself, listen to the first phrases of Tchaikowsky's First Concerto, or the last movement of Rachmaninoff's Second. Men have not found the words for it nor the deed nor the thought, but they have found the Music. Let me see that in one single act of man on earth. Let me see it made real. Let me see the answer to the promise of that Music. Not servants nor those served; not altars and immolations; but the final, the fulfilled, innocent of pain. Don't help me or serve me, but let me see it once, because I need it. Don't work for my happiness, my brothers - Show me yours - show me that it is possible - show me your achievement - and the knowledge will give me courage for mine.

Ayn Rand

We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are so organized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race.

Albert Einstein
