In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.
Do you know what we are those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society's tools, neither more nor less.
Henrik Ibsen
We still believe in the America that is a land of opportunity and a beacon of freedom. We believe in the America that challenges each of us to be better and bigger than ourselves.
Mitt Romney
On July 26, 1916, I announced to all my friends in America that from now on I resolved to write no more poems in the classical language, and to begin my experiments in writing poetry in the so-called vulgar tongue of the people.
Hu Shih
Gracious Providence, to whom I owe all my powers, why didst thou not withhold some of those blessings I possess, and substitute in their place a feeling of self-confidence and contentment?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Judging is preventing us from understanding a new truth. Free yourself from the rules of old judgments and create the space for new understanding.
Steve Maraboli
I don't even know what sound is, much less what it's for. It isn't to make money that's for sure. I've never made any.
Don Van Vliet
I am satisfied, and sufficiently occupied with the things which are, without tormenting or troubling myself about those which may indeed be, but of which I have no evidence.
Thomas Jefferson
Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.'
Marilyn Monroe
Well, especially now I come to realize - and then - I would do my schooling which was three hours with a tutor and right after that I would go to the recording studio and record, and I'd record for hours and hours until it's time to go to sleep.
Michael Jackson
When you stop doing things for fun you might as well be dead.
Ernest Hemingway
Happy families are all alike every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
The little boats cannot make much difference to the welfare of Gaza either way, since the materials being shipped are in such negligible quantity. The chief significance of the enterprise is therefore symbolic. And the symbolism, when examined even cursorily, doesn't seem too adorable. The intended beneficiary of the stunt is a ruling group with close ties to two of the most retrograde dictatorships in the Middle East, each of which has recently been up to its elbows in the blood of its own civilians. The same group also manages to maintain warm relations with, or at the very least to make cordial remarks about, both Hezbollah and al-Qaida. Meanwhile, a document that was once accurately described as a 'warrant for genocide' forms part of the declared political platform of the aforesaid group. There is something about this that fails to pass a smell test.
Christopher Hitchens
And from the first time I picked up a basketball at age eight - I had a lot of difficulty when I first picked up a basketball, because I was a scrub - there were things that I liked about it.
Julius Erving
If the amount of money going into the war economy were invested in landscape restoration, we would be in a far more positive position. It may get a little dire before we pull together, but I think when the prosperous nations, and in particular the U.S., realize they're wrecking their own kids' lives, there will be a mass change in value.
Kim Stanley Robinson
There was a perception of me, and I earned it because I was really intense, really gruff. I treated certain people poorly at times. It was because of who I was. It was almost my strength. I came in all business. I tried to find ways to fit in with that demeanor, but it's not easy.
Kirk Gibson
This feather stirs; she lives! if it be so, it is a chance which does redeem all sorrows that ever I have felt.
William Shakespeare
You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent God, the all-great God, the Almighty God, the most powerful God, the giver of life God, the creator of death. I mean, we're hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.
Bob Dylan
But I think the real tension lies in the relationship between what you might call the pursuer and his quarry, whether it's the writer or the spy.
John le Carre
There is poetry as soon as we realize that we possess nothing.
John Cage
This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror.
The only things we can keep are the things we freely give to God. What we try to keep for ourselves is just what we are sure to lose.
C.S. Lewis
I'm just thankful to have a tour and work something I can focus on.
Jerry Cantrell
We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
Edward R. Murrow
What matters creative endless toil, When, at a snatch, oblivion ends the coil?
The media thinks that you have to make science sexy and concentrate on themes such as rivalry and the human issues.
James Dyson
It's a very brave thing to fall in love. You have to be willing to trust somebody else with your whole being, and that's very difficult, really difficult and very brave.
Nicole Kidman
The only thing more expensive than education is ignorance.
Benjamin Franklin
The religions whose theology is least preoccupied with events in time and most concerned with eternity, have been consistently less violent and more humane in political practice. Unlike early Judaism, Christianity and Mohammedanism (all obsessed with time) Hinduism and Buddhism have never been persecuting faiths, have preached almost no holy wars and have refrained from that proselytizing religious imperialism which has gone hand in hand with political and economic oppression of colored people.
Aldous Huxley
So every creative act strives to attain an absolute status it longs to create a world of beauty to triumph over chaos and convert it to order.
Rowan D. Williams
I don't drink, and I don't smoke. It's a personal preference. My mom has never drunk or smoked. I look up to my mom.
Ashley Tisdale
I loved him as we always love for the first time; with idolatry and wild passion.
Voltaire
Advice is sometimes transmitted more successfully through a joke than grave teaching.
Baltasar Gracian
Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.
Don Marquis
I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening.
Larry King
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Albert Camus
Come rain or shine I walk short distances rather than taking my car.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor
I shall not die of a cold. I shall die of having lived.
Willa Cather
I travel. I do a lot of traveling around the world.
Chris Tucker
I think we'll be in pretty good shape. We've got the same car we ran in all the speedway races since 2001, and it's been a real good car for us. It's led every race we've been in.
Sterling Marlin
When I was a child it was very clear what I was allowed to see and what I was not allowed to see and there was no discussion or option or negotiation. Whatever my mom said, that's what went down.
