Or at least of the minute.

“In many countries, city planning is for people’s well-being, but in Hong Kong city planning is for money-making.”

Quotes

" You don’t gain any wisdom as the years go by. You fall apart, is what happens. People try and put a nice varnish on it, and say, well, you mellow. You come to understand life and accept things. But you’d trade all of that for being 35 again." Woody Allen

"One should judge a man mainly from his depravities. Virtues can be faked. Depravities are real." Klaus Kinski

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Ben Franklin

"Thus in a course of drunken gaiety and gross sensuality, with intervals of study perhaps yet more criminal, with an avowed contempt of all decency and order, a total disregard to every moral, and a resolute denial of every religious obligation, he lived worthless and useless, and blazed out his youth and his health in lavish voluptuousness." Samuel Johnson

"I could not become anything: neither bad nor good, neither a scoundrel nor an honest man, neither a hero nor an insect. And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything; that only a fool can become something." Fyodor Dostoevsky

"If I could be a fisherman, I would, but I can't because I'm a fucking genius." John Lennon. I've recently discovered that's not the exact quote, but this is the way I prefer it!
