Art is to be free. Design is to fix.
Outlines are the last resource of bad fiction writers who wish to God they were writing masters' theses.

You are the point of origin for everything in your world: you set the standard for yourself.
Steve Maraboli
Many years ago I was so innocent I still considered it possible that we could become the humane and reasonable America so many members of my generation used to dream of. We dreamed of such an America during the Great Depression, when there were no jobs. And then we fought and often died for that dream during the Second World War, when there was no peace.But I know now that there is not a chance in hell of America becoming humane and reasonable. Because power corrupts us, and absolute power corrupts us absolutely. Human beings are chimpanzees who get crazy drunk on power. By saying that our leaders are power-drunk chimpanzees, am I in danger of wrecking the morale of our soldiers fighting and dying in the Middle East? Their morale, like so many lifeless bodies, is already shot to pieces. They are being treated, as I never was, like toys a rich kid got for Christmas.
Kurt Vonnegut
Everyone must dream. We dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming - well, that's like saying you can never change your fate. Isn't that true?
Amy Tan
Art doesn't have to be pretty. It has to be meaningful.
Duane Hanson
Faith is the surrender of the mind, it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other animals. It's our need to believe and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. ... Out of all the virtues, all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated
Christopher Hitchens
It's easy to see why pitchers respect McGwire. If you hit behind him, they're saying that they don't respect you. You have to change their thinking.
Eric Davis
If debates about beauty in nineteenth-centuryFrance were ?erce, that was because beauty was seen to matter. Thiswas a world of political revolutions, of social reformism, of belief inprogress and human perfectibility. Why was it that beauty mattered somuch in such a world?.
Elizabeth Prettejohn
Just because the race is worth it, doesn't mean it's easy.
Melissa Bradley
The truth hurts but a lie will eventually as well
Richard L Torres
Everything has seasons, and we have to be able to recognize when something's time has passed and be able to move into the next season. Everything that is alive requires pruning as well, which is a great metaphor for endings.
Henry Cloud
It was a confusing time in my life, a really bad day at the office.
Boris Becker
The first rule of achieving goodness is this: think only about self-perfection.

Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art.

George McGovern
You don't need great faith to move mountains, you only need to use the poor faith you say you have.
Neil Velez
Events are the best teacher for us. You try to learn from people, there is always some bend to it.
Yoko Ono
To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I wanted to find a nice quiet spot, go to sleep, and dream about kittens.
John Corwin
In fact, for a period stretching over seven hundred years, the international language of science was Arabic. For this was the language of the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam, and thus the official language of the vast Islamic Empire that, by the early eighth century CE, stretched from India to Spain.
