Mark Twain

If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.

Charles Darwin

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

William Somerset Maugham

The love that lasts the longest is the love that is never returned.

William Shakespeare

It is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.

John Steinbeck

It always seemed strange to me that the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, aquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and selfinterest are the traits of sucess. And while men admire the quality of the first, they love the produce of the second.

John Fowles, The Collector

I love making, I love doing. I love being to the full, I love everything which is not sitting and watching and copying and dead at heart.

Norman Mailer

Growth, in some curious way, I suspect, depends on being always in motion just a little bit, one way or another.
