Fame changes a lot of things, but it can't change a lightbulb.
Almost every man wastes part of his life attempting to display qualities which he does not possess.
Samuel Johnson
I was happy in the dream; but when I woke up it was with a feeling that I was falling apart, that I was cracking up from the inside and slowly falling to pieces. My heart was jumping and grating like a cold engine that doesn't want to start. My skin was crawling, and I couldn't manage a single clear thought. It was as if all my thoughts were crushed to bits just as they began to take shape. I didn't get much done that day.
Ninni Holmqvist
It's other people who make us wise, and I haven't known nearly enough.
Mary E. Pearson
The message of transformation and how we all can live from our heart, not just from our head, was a very important message for me to learn in my own life.
Judith Light
Fiction allows us to slide into these other heads, these other places, and look out through other eyes. And then in the tale we stop before we die, or we die vicariously and unharmed, and in the world beyond the tale we turn the page or close the book, and we resume our lives.
Neil Gaiman
My grief lies all within, And these external manners of lament Are merely shadows to the unseen grief That swells with silence in the tortured soul
William Shakespeare
Einstein said that the most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. So why do so many of us try to explain the beauty of music, thus depriving it of its mystery?
Leonard Bernstein
I think what my father appreciated was the science experiment of life. He had these kids, and they had their own experiences. He wanted us to discover the world for ourselves.

David Levithan
I always say be humble but be firm. Humility and openness are the key to success without compromising your beliefs.
George Hickenlooper
Men think epilepsy divine, merely because they do not understand it. But if they called everything divine which they do not understand, why, there would be no end to divine things.
Hippocrates
We feel that even if all possible scientific questions be answered, the problems of life have still not been touched at all.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
You are my heart, my life, my one and only thought.
Arthur Conan Doyle
My love for the band is still there. It hasn't changed, maybe that's why it's so painful these days.
Roger Daltrey
I love what I do and I love being an athlete, but I also love all the things that have come with it.

If we’re not stretching, we’re not growing. If we’re not growing, we’re probably not fulfilling our potential. The only person in this room that knows your potential is you.
Kevin Turner
In the deeps are the violence and terror of which psychology has warned us. But if you ride these monsters deeper down, if you drop with them farther over the world's rim, you find what our sciences cannot locate or name, the substrate, the ocean or matrix or ether which buoys the rest, which gives goodness its power for good, and evil its power for evil, the unified field: our complex and inexplicable caring for each other, and for our life together here. This is given. It is not learned.
Annie Dillard
When we talk to our fellow men and they tell us about their troubles, we will listen to them carefully if we have love for them. We will have compassion for their suffering and pain, for we are God's creatures; we are a manifestation of the love of God.
Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica
And don't you let your guard down for a second because you think anything's inevitable.
Suzanne Collins
Truth, meanwhile, was a weaponthat even a damaged fist could still grasp and wield. It was a remarkably versatile commodity; it could be traded, or help serve an end, or produce aprofit.
Mark Allen Smith
People, in general, would rather die than forgive. It's that hard.
Sue Monk Kidd
If I were a character in one of my books, I'd be the optimistic one, believing the best and urging others to do the same.
Stacy Hawkins Adams
...there are two kinds of writing: the one you write and the one that writes you.
Jeanette Winterson
Ik kwam er achter dat ik er mijn hele leven heus niet naar had verlang om te leven - als wat anderen doen tenminste leven genoemd kan worden - maar wel om mezelf te kunnen uitdrukken.
Henry Miller
You're something between a dream and a miracle.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The progress of science is the discovery at each step of a new order which gives unity to what had seemed unlike
Jacob Bronkowski
'Twas Game Six of the Series when out of the sky, Flew Sergio's parachute, a Met banner held high. His goal was to spur our home team to success, Burst Beantown's balloon claiming Sox were the best.
Phyllis Orlikoff Flug
The face of a lover is an unknown, precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment.
James Arthur Baldwin
Science grows like a weed every year.
Kary Mullis

Michael Bernard Beckwith
Are you thankful for not being young?''Yes, sir. If I was young, it would all have to be gone through again, and the end would be a weary way off, don't you see?...
Charles Dickens
I think when you become a parent you go from being a star in the movie of your own life to the supporting player in the movie of someone else's.
Craig Ferguson
I have always disliked being a man. The whole idea of manhood in America is pitiful, in my opinion. This version of masculinity is a little like having to wear an ill-fitting coat for one's entire life (by contrast, I imagine femininity to be an oppressive sense of nakedness).
Paul Theroux
We demand that sex speak the truth [...] and we demand that it tell us our truth, or rather, the deeply buried truth of that truth about ourselves wich we think we possess in our immediate consciousness.
