I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories.

That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires the birth and death of kings or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life.

The message that President Obama delivered in his speech at Notre Dame was: morality is immoral. Pro-life is the extremist position not a moral position.

Rush Limbaugh

No Birth, No death.

Sai Baba

My personal telephone book is a book of the dead now. I'm so old. Almost all of my friends have died and I don't have the guts to take their names out of the book.

Buddha

Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark, and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales so is the other.
