"There are no wrong roads to anywhere. Except the that leads you to a car crash."
"Expect everything, I always say, and the unexpected never happens."
"The way you see things depends a great deal on where you look at them from."
"If you want sense, youll have to make it yourself."
"Well, since you got here by not thinking, it seems reasonable to expect that, in order to get out, you must start thinking."
"Why not? Thats a good reason for almost anything - a bit used perhaps, but still quite serviceable."
"You must never feel badly about making mistakes, as long as you learn from them."
"There is much worth noticing that often escapes the eye."
"Many of the things which can never be, often are."
"But its not just learning thats important. Its learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn at all that matters."
"You know that its there, but you just dont know where - but just because you can never reach it doesnt mean that its not worth looking for."
