From Nelson Mandela

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.

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.

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