George Carlin
“Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!”
George Carlin

Vladimir Nabokov
“There is no science without fancy and no art without fact.”
Vladimir Nabokov

Herman Melville
“truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself. If you flatter yourself that you are all over comfortable, and have been so a long time, then you cannot be said to be comfortable any more.”
Herman Melville

André Gide
“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.”
André Gide

Gustave Flaubert
“Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.”
Gustav Flaubert
