        Ambrose Bierce   Best?
  • Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

        Kahlil Gibran   Best?
  • Dateline: Mesopotamia, 3500 B.C. That's when the multi-faceted sounds we call music got its humble beginnings. It seems clappers were sent out the the fields to scare evil spirits away. These clappers started getting into the beat of their duty and, bingo, you got drums. From there, horns, strings, reeds, the whole orchestral gestalt. So, born in staving off death, music continues to nourish us in a variety of forms as different as the colors of the spectrum.

        Marie de Rabutin-Chantal   Best?
  • What greater stupidity can be imagined than that of calling jewels, silver, and gold 'precious,' and earth and soil 'base'?

It is scarcity and plenty that make the vulgar take things to be precious or worthless; they call a diamond very beautiful because it is like pure water, and then would not exchange one for ten barrels of water.
        Galileo Galilei   Best?
  • All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without the benefit of experience.
        Henry Miller   Best?
  • All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.
        Plato   Best?
  • It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.
