"One isn't born one's self. One is born with a mass of expectations, a mass of other people's ideas, and you have to work through it all." -V.S. Naipaul

"Every man today is the result of his thoughts of yesterday." -Bruce Lee


Jeet Kune Do, the martial art developed by Bruce Lee, is a system, in Lee's words, of "expressing the human body," and is not regimented or inflexible like other styles, but instead spontaneous and guided by an overarching philosophy. The above quote comes from Lee's book on Jeet Kune Do, which also contains a section of aphorisms expressing the principles of the system. "The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all. He lives only in what is," wrote Lee.

"Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius." -Arthur Conan Doyle


The prolific Scottish author and creator of Sherlock Holmes, the ultimate detective, may never have gotten around to writing so many classic novels of the genre had he not failed miserably at another profession: medical doctor.

He opened a practice in Vienna as an ophthalmologist in 1890, the year his second Sherlock Holmes novel was published. Thankfully for the world of fiction, Doyle claimed in his autobiography that he never had a single patient -- leaving him plenty of time to write.

"Every man who has suffered misfortunes prefers to be himself, even with his misfortunes, rather than to be someone else without them." -Miguel de Unamuno


Spanish writer de Unamuno explains in Tragic Sense of Life that the true essence of something is illustrated by its struggle to persist as what it is. "To be a man is to be something concrete, unitary, and substantive; it is to be a thing," he writes, stressing that humanity is a universal and inherent part of a man's identity. "This means that your essence, reader, mine, that of the man Spinoza, that of the man Butler, of the man Kant, and of every man who is a man, is nothing but the endeavour, the effort, which he makes to continue to be a man, not to die."

"Today we were unlucky. But remember we have only to be lucky once. You will have to be lucky always." -Statement by the IRA, October 1984


On October 12, 1984, at 6 minutes before 3:00 AM, a bomb planted by members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army exploded inside a room at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England. It had been placed there three weeks earlier in anticipation of the arrival of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and members of her Conservative party. Although Thatcher was the primary target, she escaped unharmed. Dozens of others were not so lucky, including five who died.

In the wake of the bombing, the IRA issued a statement that included the quote above.
