We must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie.

David Mamet

To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.

W Somerset Maugham

You can’t, if you can’t feel it, if it neverRises from the soul, and swaysThe heart of every single hearer,With deepest power, in simple ways.You’ll sit forever, gluing things together,Cooking up a stew from other’s scraps,Blowing on a miserable fire,Made from your heap of dying ash.Let apes and children praise your art,If their admiration’s to your taste,But you’ll never speak from heart to heart,Unless it rises up from your heart’s space.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that would tell one anything.

Oscar Wilde
