The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.

I honestly think that in five years time, television will be watched on computer screens anyway and you'll be doing multiple things. You'll be 'IMing' while you're watching a show and checking the news.

The majority see the obstacles; the few see the objectives; history records the successes of the latter, while oblivion is the reward of the former.

I cry when I don't get food on time. I am not cranky but have the heart of a child. I cry and laugh at most times. I have the sensitivity of a child.
