Results from Classic Quotes:

The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off... They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating.: Pearl Buck (1892 - 1973)
The best part about being my age is in knowing how my life worked out. Sure, there's a lot more living to go, but there isn't much doubt that I'll always be the 'Dilbert guy.' Unless I go on a crime spree, in which case I'll be 'that stabbin' Dilbert guy.': Scott Adams (1957 - ), The Benefits of Getting Old, Dilbert Blog, 08-22-06

If you have to have your weapon, at least run it through the grandma test. Take the weapon and hit your grandma with it. If she dies or writes you out of the will, don't bring it!: Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine, Ask A Ninja, 08-29-06
Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.: Warren Buffett (1930 - )
Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well.: Warren Buffett (1930 - )
Sports do not build character. They reveal it.: Heywood Broun (1888 - 1939)

It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.: Rose Kennedy (1890 - 1995)
The defects and faults in the mind are like wounds in the body. After all imaginable care has been taken to heal them up, still there will be a scar left behind.: Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)
I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you.: Ann Richards
I'm really glad that our young people missed the Depression, and missed the great big war. But I do regret that they missed the leaders that I knew. Leaders who told us when things were tough, and that we would have to sacrifice, and these difficulties might last awhile. They didn't tell us things were hard for us because we were different, or isolated, or special interests. They brought us together and they gave us a sense of national purpose.: Ann Richards, 1988 keynote address, Democratic National Convention
