Keith Richards
“There's something beautifully friendly and elevating about a bunch of guys playing music together. This wonderful little world that is unassailable. It's really teamwork, one guy supporting the others, and it's all for one purpose, and there's no flies in the ointment, for a while. And nobody conducting, it's all up to you. It's really jazz__that's the big secret. Rock and roll ain't nothing but jazz with a hard backbeat.”
Keith Richards, Life

Ransom Riggs
“Forgive me. I continue to underestimate the breadth of your ignorance.”
Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“The belly is an ungrateful wretch, it never remembers past favors, it always wants more tomorrow.”
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

Richard Dawkins
“Prediction in a complex world is a chancy business. Every decision that a survival machine takes is a gamble, and it is the business of genes to program brains in advance so that on average they take decisions that pay off. The currency used in the casino of evolution is survival, strictly gene survival, but for many purposes individual survival is a reasonable approximation.”
Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

Oscar Levant
“On Ira Gershwin:
I remember when he was given the manuscript of a novel written by a woman friend who had hopes of having it published. To his astonishment it turned out to be the dirtiest, most pornographic book he had ever read. When the lady mentioned that she intended to use a nom de plume, Ira suggested she call herself Henrietta Miller.”
Oscar Levant, The Unimportance of Being Oscar
