Annie Dillard

When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.
Frank Herbert
The happiness of most people we know is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly destructive little things.

I could have probably raised them in L.A. and they would have been great and had so many things at their fingertips and been exposed to so many things. But we travel a lot, so I don't think that moving out of town is sheltering the girls at all. Maybe protecting them a little bit more, trying to prolong their youth.
Jennie Garth
Life is a succession of lessons enforced by immediate reward, or, oftener, by immediate chastisement.
I don't believe in evil, I believe only in horror. In nature there is no evil, only an abundance of horror: the plagues and the blights and the ants and the maggots.
Isak Dinesen

Baltasar Gracian
The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of the war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

C.S. Lewis

Paulo Coelho
Before, for me, peace could have been synonymous with boredom.
Isabelle Adjani
I know a lot of people dread going to work every morning, but my work is playing pretend and doing stunts and screaming. It's a lot of fun and I get to play dress up. Every day is exciting and different and new and cool. I couldn't be more grateful.
Nina Dobrev
When decisions on nuclear power stations and runways are delayed and the government dilly-dallies, people think they aren't important.
