You can't get anywhere without the people who have come into your life.

Great literature cannot grow from a neglected or impoverished soil. Only if we actually tend or care will it transpire that every hundred years or so we might get a Middlemarch.

She was telling me that I had a life of disappointment before me if I continued to love him as I did. A love that is too strong can turn poisonous and bring great unhappiness. And then, what is the remedy? Can you unlearn your heart's desire? Can you stop loving someone? Easier to drown yourself; easier to take the lover's leap.

Alma Katsu

One often has to do what they have to do in order to do what they want to do; however if you only do what you want to do then you will never do what you have to do!

C. Moorer

Plato

You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.

William Hazlitt

I have such an extreme attitude about work, where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict, I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes.

Geddy Lee

You know being relevant or coming up with something interesting, funny to say about what's current is just as hard as it might ever be depending on the serendipity of it all.

Lily Tomlin

I did that for 40 years or more. I never had any writer's block. I got up in the morning, sat down at the typewriter - now, computer - lit up a cigarette.

What can everyone do? Praise and blame. This is human virtue, this is human madness.

Friedrich Nietzsche
