Martin Gardner

#23. Certainly, it is. Love is love, and loss is loss. We all love, and we all die, and everyone suffers the pain of grieving. The trick is to enjoy what you have while you have it. Not run like a bunny from the good things because they might be taken away sooner than you'd like.

Gary Snyder

#31. A lot of authority figures want to be good. I sense that, and yet at the same time I sense that authority, after a while, always leads to some kind of oppression. When the minority report comes in, what you do is run the minority out of town with a flaming cross. It's just the way things are.

#63. I don't try to hit the ball 500 feet. It looks good when you hit it 500 feet, but as long as it goes over the fence, it's a home run.

Penn Jillette

#68. Then, I started running. And everything was as good as it could be.

Jonah Goldberg

#73. I don't know why America always thinks she has to run all around the world forcing people to take our way of governance at the barrel of a gun. When you've got something really good, you don't have to force it on people. They will steal it!

Don Kardong

#80. Everything comes to an end. A good bottle of wine, a summer's day, a long-running sitcom, one's life, and eventually our species. The question for many of us is not that everything will come to an end but when. And can we do anything vaguely useful until it does?

Brenda Ueland

#86. A better way to get good feedback is to run a field experiment - that is, rather than trying to mimic the real world in a lab, take the lab mind-set into the real world. You're still running an experiment but the subjects don't necessarily know it, which means the feedback you'll glean is pure.

Joseph Wood Krutch

#89. Good people have always been at the heart of the Virgin business, and that's largely because we have tried to keep our business small, and our management teams tight-knit.

Richard Branson
