Some might complain that nuclear disarmament is little more than a dream. But that ignores the very tangible benefits disarmament would bring for all humankind. Its success would strengthen international peace and security. It would free up vast and much-needed resources for social and economic development. It would advance the rule of law.
Ban Ki-moon
Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.
Oscar Wilde
Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success.

I never expected any sort of success with 'Mockingbird'... I sort of hoped someone would like it enough to give me encouragement.
Harper Lee
Mild autism can give you a genius like Einstein. If you have severe autism, you could remain nonverbal. You don't want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. But if you got rid of all the autism genetics, you wouldn't have science or art. All you would have is a bunch of social 'yak yaks.'
Temple Grandin
I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.
Oscar Wilde
Let every man feel that he is the architect and builder of his own life, and that he proposes to make a success of it by working.

Fiction is art and art is the triumph over chaos… to celebrate a world that lies spread out around us like a bewildering and stupendous dream.
John Cheever
Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.
Anna Quindlen
I did the 'Bionic Woman,' which of course had a lot of humor in it, and that was really a function of a lot of the ad-libbing and the things that I did in it.
Lindsay Wagner
There is a sacredness in tears....They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love.
Washington Irving
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
