From Nelson Mandela

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

From Nelson Mandela

Communists have always played an active role in the fight by colonial countries for their freedom, because the short-term objects of Communism would always correspond with the long-term objects of freedom movements.

From Andy Warhol

I never understood why when you died, you didn't just vanish, everything could just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn't be there. I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment.'

From Andy Warhol

I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic.

From Andy Warhol

Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.

From F Scott Flitzgerald

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

From Gracie Allen

Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years.

From George C Lichtenberg

Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.

From Alan Alda

Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart.

From Victor Hugo

Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.

From Dolly Parton

I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde.

From William Congreve

Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

From Sydney J Harris

If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size?

From Buddha

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

From Ralph Waldo Emerson

For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.

From Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.
