You wake me up early in the morning to tell me that I'm right? Please wait until I'm wrong. View quote
John von Neumann
I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love. It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigor of the earlier world. View quote
William Morris

Samuel Johnson
Is not a patron, my lord, one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water, and when he has reached ground encumbers him with help The notice which you have been pleased to take care of my labors, had it been early, had been kind but it has been delayed till I am indifferent, and cannot enjoy it till I am solitary, and cannot impart it till I am known, and do not want it. View quote
Samuel Johnson
An early insight in my work on the economics of information concerned the problem of appropriability - the difficulty that those who pay for information have in getting returns. View quote
Joseph Stiglitz
Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and, however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly. View quote
Thomas Henry Huxley
Today it is generally accepted that although the earliest humans probably ate some meat, it was unlikely to have played a major role in their diet. Plants would have been a much more important source of food. (Jane Goodall)
In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth? View quote

Temple Grandin
Survival, with honor, that outmoded and all-important word, is as difficult as ever and as all-important to a writer. Those who do not last are always more beloved since no one has to see them in their long, dull, unrelenting, no-quarter-given-and-no-quarter-received, fights that they make to do something as they believe it should be done before they die. Those who die or quit early and easy and with every good reason are preferred because they are understandable and human. Failure and well-disguised cowardice are more human and more beloved. View quote
Ernest Hemingway
I've seen a lot of patriots and they all died just like anybody else if it hurt bad enough and once they were dead their patriotism was only good for legends it was bad for their prose and made them write bad poetry. If you are going to be a great patriot i.e. loyal to any existing order of government (not one who wishes to destroy the existing for something better) you want to be killed early if your life and works won't stink. View quote
Ernest Hemingway
All my early books are written as if I were Indian. In England, I had started writing as if I were English; now I write as if I were American. You take other peoples backgrounds and characters; Keats called it negative capability. View quote
Ruth Prawer Jhabvala

Sometimes the early bird gets the worm, but sometimes the early bird gets frozen to death. View quote
Myron Scholes
To get back to my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early or be respectable. View quote

Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don't have any kids yourself. View quote
Philip Larkin
