"The more we sweat, the less we bleed."

-- Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit

“Smart people duck when they hear the dread announcement 'I'm going to be perfectly honest with you.”
“We've lived through a time in which people have felt they could forge their own future and make a better world. We may not have achieved our dreams in the time frame that we once believed was realistic, but the magnitude of what is yet to be achieved only confirms the importance of our commitment. Knowing this, we can't stop now.”
“It's very hard to write humor.”
“Truth exists; only lies are invented.”

“Anything is possible in this universe. It could be that you turn the chair around it's just a glove handcuffed to a bomb, like in Inspector Gadget.”
“We don't tend to ask where a lake comes from. It lies before us, contained and complete, tantalizing in its depth but not its origin. A river is a different kind of mystery, a mystery of distance and becoming, a mystery of source. Touch its fluent body and you touch far places. You touch a story that must end somewhere but cannot stop telling itself, a story that is always just beginning.”

“You show me someone who can't understand people and I'll show you someone who has built up a false image of himself.”
“I know that you have to be reserved about certain things in your life.”
