My work is more about trying to ask good questions and not trying to come up with big shows. Every fashion company is doing that, every car company is doing that.

It is best to live however one can be.

Sophocles

As much as I like it when a book I'm writing speeds along, the downside can be that an author becomes too eager to finish and rushes the end. The end is even more important than the first page, and rushing can damage it.

David Morrell

Gerrit Smith

Contrary to what many may think, immortality is not a fairy tale invented to compensate for an unhappy life.

Stephen R Lawhead

My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.

Derek Jeter

In no other country in the world is the love of property keener or more alert than in the United States, and nowhere else does the majority display less inclination toward doctrines which in any way threaten the way property is owned.

Alexis de Tocqueville

She feared no danger, for she knew no sin.

John Dryden

I have defined the hundred per cent American as ninety-nine per cent an idiot.

George Bernard Shaw

What torments my soul is its loneliness. The more it expands among friends and the daily habits or pleasures, the more, it seems to me, it flees me and retires into its fortress. The poet who lives in solitude, but who produces much, is the one who enjoys those treasures we bear in our bosom, but which forsake us when we give ourselves to others. When one yields oneself completely to one's soul, it opens itself to one, and then it is that the capricious thing allows one the greatest of good fortunes... that of sympathizing with others, of studying itself, of painting itself constantly in its works.

Eugene Delacroix

Chris Isaak

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?
