Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.
I live by 'Go big or go home.' That's with everything. It's like either commit and go for it or don't do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships, I apply that to like sports, I apply that to everything. That's what I live by. That's how I like it.
Paul Walker
The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.
Virginia Woolf
Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.
Ben Hogan
Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.
Alan Watts
Vengeance was a funny thing: You wanted the satisfaction of knowing it had occurred, but you never wanted to actually hear the words out loud, because then you'd have to admit to yourself that you'd wanted proof, and that somehow made you baser, less civilized.
Jodi Picoult
To be angry about trifles is mean and childish; to rage and be furious is brutish; and to maintain perpetual wrath is akin to the practice and temper of devils; but to prevent and suppress rising resentment is wise and glorious, is manly and divine.
A great artist is always before his time or behind it.
George Edward Moore
We are sick with fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas. Meditation is therefore the art of suspending verbal and symbolic thinking for a time, somewhat as a courteous audience will stop talking when a concert is about to begin.
The great rule of moral conduct is next to God, respect time.
Johann Kaspar Lavater
Some believe all that parents, tutors, and kindred believe. They take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.
Sometimes she'd go a whole day without thinking of him or missing him. Why not? She had quite a full life, and really, he'd often been hard to deal with and hard to live with. A project, the Yankee oldtimers like her very own Dad might have said. And then sometimes a day would come, a gray one (or a sunny one) when she missed him so fiercely she felt empty, not a woman at all anymore but just a dead tree filled with cold November blow. She felt like that now, felt like hollering his name and hollering him home, and her heart turned sick with the thought of the years ahead and she wondered what good love was if it came to this, to even ten seconds of feeling like this.
Stephen King
Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Jim Carrey
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Mark Twain
The human race is a monotonous affair. Most people spend the greatest part of their time working in order to live, and what little freedom remains so fills them with fear that they seek out any and every means to be rid of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
'Tis the voice of the sluggard; I heard him complain, you have waked me too soon, I must slumber again.
Isaac Watts
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
I would not change my native landFor rich Peru with all her gold
Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices.
Paul Tournier
Find out what whiskey he drinks and send all of my generals a case, if it will get the same results. in reply to comments about General Grant's drinking problems
Abraham Lincoln
We cherish our friends not for their ability to amuse us, but for our ability to amuse them.
Evelyn Waugh
The human mind is inspired enough when it comes to inventing horrors; it is when it tries to invent a Heaven that it shows itself cloddish.
My stories are very somber, so I think I need the comic ingredient. Besides, life has so much humor.
Manuel Puig
His judgement demonstrates that one can be a genius and understand nothing of an art that is not one's own.
Victor Hugo
If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to a semi-official statement; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable. It is only when the journalist is reporting a whim of his own, and one to which he attaches minor importance, that he defines it as the opinion of well-informed circles.
Harnessing the unique sex energy that can only arise through sexual expression can awaken multidimensional awareness and provide you with your desired goal.
Stephen Richards
News is what a chap who doesn't care much about anything wants to read. And it's only news until he's read it. After that it's dead.
It is a curious thing that every creed promises a paradise which will be absolutely uninhabitable for anyone of civilized taste.
An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.
Always, through my whole life, I've had a thirst for knowledge.
Emmitt Smith
Don't give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can't express them. Don't analyze yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.
She was no longer struggling against the perception of facts, but adjusting herself to their clearest perception.
George Eliot
Anyone who has been to an English public school will always feel comparatively at home in prison. It is the people brought up in the gay intimacy of the slums who find prison so soul-destroying.
I just hope that I continue to keep a line between my private life and who I play, even if they are closely intertwined, and so I'm careful. I don't even know where my line is, but I know I have a line.
Lena Dunham
In the dying world I come from quotation is a national vice. It used to be the classics, now it's lyric verse.
The more I understand the mind and the human experience, the more I begin to suspect there is no such thing as unhappiness; there is only ungratefulness.
Steve Maraboli
Saints are simply men and women who have fulfilled their natural obligation which is to approach God.
The Shia fundamentalists in Iran lowered the age of consent to nine, perhaps in admiring emulation of the age of the youngest wife of the Prophet Muhammed.
Christopher Hitchens
And it sends an important message to me, because I am sick to death to hear my opponent saying Republicans don't trust me. They do trust me, in landslide proportions, and they're proving it tonight. We're going to bury that for good.
Ben Nighthorse Campbell
That's the public-school system all over. They may kick you out, but they never let you down.
