Yes quaint and curious war is! You shoot a fellow down you'd treat if met where any bar is, or help to half-a-crown.

Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once?

Henry David Thoreau

The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't.

Joseph L. Mankiewicz

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Alexander Pope

It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our every man must take on a science fictional way of thinking.

Isaac Asimov

Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.

Coco Chanel

And as I played, a child came thro' the gate, A boy who looked at me without a word, As tho' he saw stretch far behind my head Long lines of radiant angels, row on row. That day we spoke a little, timidly, And after that I never heard the voice That sang so many songs for love of me.

Sara Teasdale

President Obama clearly cannot run on his record. All he's offering is more of the same. That's not good. Look at the economy. It's stagnating. And so, what they're now going to try and do is bring this campaign down to little things, distractions, distortions, smear, fear, anger, frustration.

Paul Ryan

Much wisdom often goes with fewest words.

Sophocles

People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.

Alan Kay

A creditor is worse than a slave-owner; for the master owns only your person, but a creditor owns your dignity, and can command it.

Victor Hugo

If things change then they will be different, but if they don't then things will stay the same.

Peter Gilcrest

I've now realized for the first time in my life the vital Importance of Being Earnest.

Oscar Wilde
