When people are sad they don't do anything, they just cry over their condition. But when they get angry they bring about change. MALCOLM  X When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams, this may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be. CERVANTES

For heaven's sake, pause for a moment, stop what you are doing, and look around you! LEO TOLSTOY The materials of town planning are sky, space, trees, grass, steel and aggregates in that order and that hierarchy. LE CORBUSIER In the past, Britain could be relied upon to produce a war every twenty years or so, and that solved the problem of boredom. We have to find an answer without war. LOGIE BRUCE  LOCKHART What is the secret of success? - To inspire confidence. What is confidence? - It is a magic gift granted by birth-right to one man and denied to another. AXEL MUNTHE No bomb that ever burst shatters the crystal spirit. GEORGE ORWELL Failure or success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars. But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it; and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle. E. M. FORSTER

Miguel de Cervantes

If you observe a happy man, you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the desert. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a button that has rolled under the radiator. BERAN WOLFE We carry with us the wonders we seek without us: there is all Africa and her prodigies in us. SIR THOMAS BROWNE To believe in youth is to look backward. To look forward, we must believe in age. DOROTHY L. SAYERS Power is not revealed by striking hard or often, but by striking true. HONORE DE BALZAC
