Laurence Sterne

Only the brave know how to forgive... a coward never forgave; it is not in his nature.

God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.

Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world, - though the cant of hypocrites may be the worst, - the cant of criticism is the most tormenting!

If I can add, say, 10 great new violin concertos to the repertoire before I'm done, that will be truly exciting.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come to being.
