Victoria Forester

“Man's highest joy is in victory: to conquer one's enemies; to pursue them; to deprive them of their possessions; to make their beloved weep; to ride on their horses; and to embrace their wives and daughters.”
“â€ŽLife is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”
“If there is a will there is a way.”
“Indeed science alone may perhaps be sterile when pursued without an understanding of the world in which scientific knowledge is created and in which the fruits of science are used.”
“If you spend too much time trying to find out what is good or bad about someone else, you'll forget your own soul and end up exhausted and defeated by the energy you have wasted in judging others.”
“Music is love in search of a voice.”
“The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.”
“Don't try to buy art as an investment. Buy something you really love because you're going to have to look at it again tomorrow. And an investment can go up or down. Buy something you really adore, you really like, and you want to live with. And if you decide some years later you don't want to live with it anymore, sell it. Get out.”
