"Look at that," she whispered, and then after a moment: "I'd like to just get one of those pink clouds and put you in it and push you around." ~F. Scott Fitzgerald

My whole life has been stability. People who have worked with me have for a long time. Air Asia is the same people who started it. ~Tony Fernandes

I'm not married, and I don't have any kids, so sometimes I envy that end of things when I see a family vacation or people at the beach with their kids or at sporting events with their kids; you wonder, "Is that a part of your life that you want to go into?" ~Kevin Connolly

But that's typical of me. "This is going to end in tears," I tell myself every time I balance a cup of coffee on the upholstered arm of the chair I'm sitting on. And then, lo and behold, the cup topples and even before it lands, I tell myself, "Told me so!" Not to spell out, or spill out, one of the metaphors of my life, but I always do the stupid thing and then I do it again. I never learn. ~Patricia Marx

Have you forgotten God? Even if you have, He has not forgotten you. ~Moses

#proverbs #irish-proverbs #prayer

I had got this far, and was thinking of what to say next, and as my habit is, I was pricking the paper idly with my pen. And I thought how, between one dip of the pen and the next, time goes on, and I hurry, drive myself, and speed toward death. We are always dying. I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch

All I care is that my family, and my loved ones, understand me. Or that they understand me to a degree; I don't understand me very much. And I don't need the world to understand me. That is the most egocentric thing. ~Andrea Corr

What bothers most critics of my work is the goofiness. One reviewer said I need to make up my mind if want to be funny or serious. My response is that I will make up my mind when God does, because life is a commingling of the sacred and the profane, good and evil. To try and separate them is fallacy. ~Tom Robbins

As I've written before, China's ability to be the assembly line to the world wasn't where its role in the global economy ended; it was where it began. An ability to make products cheaper than anywhere else gave way to an ability to make high end products more nimbly than anywhere else. ~Sarah Lacy

You must create your own world. I am responsible for my world. ~Louise Berliawsky Nevelson

The scheme of a game is played on positional lines; the decision of it, as a rule, is effected by combinations. ~Richard Reti

We had been busy building up fibre infrastructure under the ground in Hong Kong and underneath the homes of people, so when we launched IPTV, it was relatively smoother sailing than in other territories. ~Richard Li

Occasionally, when I get mad at a woman, I'll do some great, awful painting about her. ~Jean-Michel Basquiat
