The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction. By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is you really want to say. Mark Twain
It's the greatest shot of adrenaline to be doing what you have wanted to do so badly. You almost feel like you could fly without a plane. Charles Lindbergh
Daytime sleep is like the sin of the flesh; the more you have the more you want, and yet you feel unhappy, sated and unsated at the same time. Umberto Eco

One grave in every graveyard belongs to the ghouls. Wander any graveyard long enough and you will find it - water stained and bulging, with cracked or broken stone, scraggly grass or rank weeds about it, and a feeling, when you reach it, of abandonment.

Kitty: I thought your ladyship was ill. I wanted to help you. Lady de. Winter: I ill? Do you take me for a weak woman? When I am insulted I do not feel ill - I avenge myself. Do you hear? Alexander Dumas
As I glanced at the phraseology of the research report, dull and unfathomable to outsiders like me, I thought that if you have the ambition to become a villain, the first thing you should do is learn to be impenetrable. Don’t act like Blofeld—monocled and ostentatious. We journalists love writing about eccentrics. We hate writing about impenetrable, boring people.
