Bertolt Brecht
First the grub, then the morals.
Robert Byrne
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Walter Benjamin
The only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope.

Millions of men have lived to fight, build palaces and boundaries, shape destinies and societies; but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit.
Ralph W. Sockman
Nothing is so strong as gentleness and nothing is so gentle as real strength.
Aldous Huxley
Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic it is merely a form of emotional masturbation. It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.

More Famous Quotations
Maurice Wilkes
As soon as we started programming, we found out to our surprise that it wasn't as easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered. I can remember the exact instant when I realized that a large part of my life from then on was going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Burmese Proverb
Beware of a man's shadow and a bee's sting.
William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act II Scene 6
But love is blind and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit;
For if they could, Cupid himself would blush
To see me thus transformed to a boy.
Agnes Repplier
Humor brings insight and tolerance. Irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding.
Oscar Wilde
All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling.
Ernest Rutheford
Splitting the atom is like trying to shoot a gnat in the Albert Hall at night and using ten million rounds of ammunition on the off chance of getting it. That should convince you that the atom will always be a sink of energy and never a reservoir of energy.
George Orwell, 1984
Being in a minority, even a minority of one, did not make you mad.
Casey Stengel
I was not successful as a ballplayer, as it was a game of skill.
Gustave Flaubert, "Madame Bovary"
Human speech is a cracked cauldron on which we knock out tunes for dancing bears, when we wish to conjure pity from the stars.
Tony Bennet
I think one of the reasons I'm popular again is because I'm wearing a tie. You have to be different.
Edmund Burke
Toleration is good for all, or it is good for none.

Anzia Yezierska
When I only begin to read, I forget I'm on this world. It lifts me on wings with high thoughts.
Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince
Men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, for everyone can see and few can feel. Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are.
George Frost Kennan
The best an American can look forward to is the lonely pleasure of one who stands at long last on a chilly and inhospitable mountaintop where few have been before, where few can follow and where few will consent to believe he has been.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There is nothing wrong with America that the faith, love of freedom, intelligence and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Russell P. Askue
If living conditions don't stop improving in this country, we're going to run out of humble beginnings for our great men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against an enemy.
Sir Winston Leonard Spenser Churchill
A cat will look down to a man. A dog will look up to a man. But a pig will look you straight in the eye and see his equal.
Theodore Roosevelt
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting but never hit soft
Frank Zappa
Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, use that something to support their own existence.

Latest greatest Famous Quotations
Mark Twain
You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.
H. P. Lovecraft, The White Ship
Blue, green, grey, white, or black; smooth, ruffled, or mountainous; that ocean is not silent.
Marian Wright Edelman
If you don't like the way the world is, you change it. You have an obligation to change it. You just do it one step at a time.
Martin Luther King Jr.
But I know somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.
Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin
The instinct to command others, in its primitive essence, is a carnivorous, altogether bestial and savage instinct. Under the influence of the mental development of man, it takes on a somewhat more ideal form and becomes somewhat ennobled, presenting itself as the instrument of reason and the devoted servant of that abstraction, or political fiction, which is called the public good. But in its essence it remains just as baneful, and it becomes even more so when, with the application of science, it extends its scope and intensifies the power of its action. If there is a devil in history, it is this power principle.
Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince
To be feared is much safer then to be loved.
Jeff Meyer
pixel, n.: A mischievous, magical spirit associated with screen displays. The computer industry has frequently borrowed from mythology: Witness the sprites in computer graphics, the demons in artificial intelligence, and the trolls in the marketing department.
Richard Bach
The bonds that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each others life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.
