You're a public menace. You shouldn't be allowed out on your own.

The possession of anything begins in the mind

Bruce Lee

People who cannot recognize a palpable absurdity are very much in the way of civilization.

Agnes Repplier

So, I think that Marilyn, what she gave the world, and in many ways Kennedy too, was that they had dreams and they didn't allow anybody to take away their dreams.

Sally Kirkland

He who moves not forward, goes backward.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

No true work since the world began was ever wasted; no true life since the world began has ever failed. Oh, understand those two perverted word, failure and success and measure them by the eternal, not the earthly, standard. When after thirty obscure, toilsome, unrecorded years in the shop of the village carpenter, one came forth to be pre-eminently the man of sorrows, to wander from city to city in homeless labors, and to expire in lonely agony upon the shameful cross -- was that a failure.

Frederick Farrar

In science, read, by preference, the newest works in literature, the oldest. The classic literature is always modern.

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

The lessons taught in great books are misleading. The commerce in life is rarely so simple and never so just.

Anita Brookner

There are two modes of criticism. One which crushes to earth without mercy all the humble buds of Phantasy, all the plants that, though green and fruitful, are also a prey to insects or have suffered by drought. It weeds well the garden, and cannot believe the weed in its native soil may be a pretty, graceful plant. There is another mode which enters into the natural history of every thing that breathes and lives, which believes no impulse to be entirely in vain, which scrutinizes circumstances, motive and object before it condemns, and believes there is a beauty in natural form, if its law and purpose be understood.

Margaret Fuller

Cosmic Ordering is with you in all that you do.

Stephen Richards

Experience has taught me this, that we undo ourselves by impatience. Misfortunes have their life and their limits, their sickness and their health.

Michel de Montaigne

It is not everyday that the world arranges itself into a poem.

Wallace Stevens

I have always wished for a computer that would be as easy to use as my telephone. My wish came true. I no longer know how to use my telephone.

Bjarne Stroustrup
