Tony RobbinsHere's the thing. I hate kids. Always have.

If I have a biological clock, it is digital and does not tick.

Wendy KoppStressing the practice of living purposefully as essential to fully realized self-esteem is not equivalent to measuring an individual's worth by his or her external achievements. We admire achievements-in ourselves and others-and it is natural and appropriate for us to do so.

The root of our self-esteem is not our achievements but those internally generated practices that, among other things, make it possible for us to achieve.

Anton ChekhovA word about 'plain English.' The phrase certainly shouldn't connote drab and dreary language. Actually, plain English is typically quite interesting to read. It's robust and direct-the opposite of gaudy, pretentious language. You achieve plain English when you use the simplest, most straightforward way of expressing an idea. You can still choose interesting words. But you'll avoid fancy ones that have everyday replacements meaning precisely the same thing.

Siddharth KatragaddaI love the sound of snow... You can hear it even if you are only standing on a balcony. [The sound] is only minimal, not even a real noise: a breath, a trifle of a sound.

The Berlin Philharmonic manage it sometimes.
