In my whole career, I've never seen this type of race that you had to wait for the last day. There's so many teams that are involved. You've got to smile because we're in it.

Those who forgets their friends to follow those of a higher status are truly snobs.

William Makepeace Thackeray

It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew - and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents - that there was all the difference in the world.

J.K. Rowling

The city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human zoo.

Desmond Morris

Nothing seems to matter quite as much. I no longer think about death in the concentrated way I once did. I don't knowÂ… you get so old and you sort of give up in some way. You've had your period of angst, your period of religious desperation, and you've arrived at a philosophical position where you don't need, or you can't bear, to look at it.

John Updike, Interview with Dail

Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.

Thomas Jefferson

Let a man then know his worth, and keep things under his feet. Let him not peep or steal, or skulk up and down with the air of a charity-boy, a bastard, or an interloper.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Look. Jammies.

Cassandra Clare

A healthy nation is as unconscious of its nationality as a healthy man of his bones. But if you break a nation's nationality it will think of nothing else but getting it set again.

George Bernard Shaw

If you look at the game and everything, it's not quite like looking at an animated film, because that's total character. This, this is really movement, but it's got funny little things if you look for the humor. They're actually getting to the character.

Don Bluth

I woke up, smiling to myself at this dream with its allegorical aspects but with no real meaning.

Jean De Berg

I think that love is stronger than habits or circumstances. I think it is possible to keep yourself for someone for a long time, and still remember why you were waiting when she comes at last.... I would enter your sleep if I could, and guard you there, and slay the thing that hounds you, as I would if it had the courage to face me in fair daylight. But I cannot come in unless you dream of me.

Peter S. Beagle

Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it.

Edmund Hillary
