And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.

Alfred Bernhard Nobel


Hope is nature's veil for hiding truth's nakedness.

Should contrive our fees to pilfer, on who for his native land

Ralph Waldo Emerson


If a man knows the law, find out, though he live in a pine shanty, and resort to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the imprisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint a landscape, and convey into souls and ochres all the enchantments of Spring or Autumn; or can liberate and intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious songs and verses; it is certain that the secret cannot be kept; the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and tens and fifties to his doors.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld


We often forgive those who bore us, but we cannot forgive those whom we bore.

Socrates


He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.
