• Good profiles mentioned characteristics that would probably be true for all of us, such as: "I want someone who will make me laugh." About Me sections with fewer than a hundred words tend to be clearly popular. Short profiles that express just enough information to pique someone's interest work best.

• Here is the mistake of the cut-and-dried man of culture. He goes about with the secret of having learned to appreciate the "grandstyle." He has lived in Homer till he can recall the roll of that many-sounding sea. He has pored over the lofty and pictorial thought of Plato till he begins to pique himself upon its grandeur. His fancy has been fed on the quaint old-world genius of Herodotus, his judgment on the melancholy wisdom of Tacitus and the complacent cynicism of Gibbon--and of all this he is conscious and proud.

• Creo que la inspiración viene del día a día. Creo que hay cosas que despiertan nuestro interés, no necesariamente momentos "ajá", sino cosas que nos hacen levantar las cejas. Y esos son a menudo los momentos que son la semilla de la inspiración. A veces surgen en una gran conversación con amigos, a veces son cosas que ves en directo, algo que lees, el tráiler de una película que ves... Creo que la inspiración está ahí fuera. Una cosa que tenemos que practicar es reconocer cuándo ocurre y grabar ese momento para poder volver a él.

• Y entonces, un día, programan una nueva melodía, y realmente te llama la atención, ya sabes, porque puedes estar lavando los platos o algo así, ya sabes, en tu apartamento y de repente dices, whoa, ¿qué están tocando ahí? Y corres a la pared, pero se ha acabado... pero la canción se ha acabado. Sólo has oído lo suficiente para despertar tu interés. Y nunca sabes cuándo van a volver a ponerla, claro, como en una emisora de radio normal.

• [M]en, though they know full well how much women are worth and how great the benefits we bring them, nonetheless seek to destroy us out of envy for our merits. It's just like the crow, when it produces white nestlings: it is so stricken by envy, knowing how black it is itself, that it kills its own offspring out of pique.

• I do not mean to call an elephant a vulgar animal, but if you think about him carefully, you will find that his nonvulgarity consists in such gentleness as is possible to elephantine nature-not in his insensitive hide, nor in his clumsy foot, but in the way he will lift his foot if a child lies in his way; and in his sensitive trunk, and still more sensitive mind, and capability of pique on points of honor.

• I love Koscielny, I’ve seen him a lot. He has good leg speed, which reminds me of Lilian [Thuram]. The last time we spoke I told him to work hard and he’ll become one of the best defenders in the world. He’s at the standard of a Vidic or Pique. I mean that sincerely.

• They had each other and there was a love between them that would withstand anything. Alina and I had always intuited, with no small wry pique, that, although our parents adored us and would do anything for us, they loved each other more. As far as I was concerned, that was the way it should be. Kids grow up, move on and find a love of their own. The empty nest shouldn't leave parents grieving. It should leave them ready and excited to get on with living their own adventure, which would, of course, include many visits to children and grandchildren.

• No ruler should put troops into the field merely to gratify his own spleen; no general should fight a battle simply out of pique. If it is to your advantage, make a forward move; if not, stay where you are. Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content. But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.
