I am a fashion person, and fashion is not only about clothes -- it's about all kinds of change
To die, to sleep To sleep, perchance to dream, ay there's the rub,For in that sleep of death what dreams may comeWhen we have shuffled off this mortal coil,Must give us pause there's the respectThat makes calamity of so long life.
William Shakespeare
Death unites as well as separates it silences all paltry feeling.
Honore de Balzac
We must not inquire too curiously into motives... They are apt to become feeble in the utterance: the aroma is mixed with the grosser air. We must keep the germinating grain away from the light.
George Eliot, Middlemarch
Hereafter, in a better world than this, I shall desire more love and knowledge of you.
The last temptation is the greatest treason: To do the right deed for the wrong reason.
TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot
An editor should tell the author his writing is better than it is. Not a lot better, a little better.
I suppose some editors are failed writers; but so are most writers.
I try to stress to my children that buying something never leads to true happiness.
Harlan Coben
Our emotions are only incidents in the effort to keep day and night together.
... when someone sees a soul disturbed and unable to see something, he won't laugh mindlessly, but he'll take into consideration whether it has come from a brighter life and is dimmed through not having yet become accustomed to the dark or whether it has come from greater ignorance into greater light and is dazzled by the increased brillance.
Plato
So far as we are human, what we do must be either evil or good: so far as we do evil or good, we are human: and it is better, in a paradoxical way, to do evil than to do nothing: at least we exist.
Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost of yesterday. Holding a grudge
Steve Maraboli
Non-profits must become deeply engaged in the ways that their donor communities are using social technology.
Simon Mainwaring
I do not like that man. I must get to know him better.
Abraham Lincoln
There are flood and drought over the eyes and in the mouth, dead water and dead sand contending for the upper hand. The parched eviscerate soil gapes at the vanity of toil, laughs without mirth. This is the death of the earth.
Each year one vicious habit rooted out, in time might make the worst man good throughout.
Benjamin Franklin
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
Liberty is a different kind of pain from prison.
Friendship should be more than biting time can sever.
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be: am an attendant lord, one that will do to swell a progress, start a scene or two, advise the prince.
I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food.
W. C. Fields
If one's different, one's bound to be lonely.
Aldous Huxley
Hell is oneself, hell is alone, the other figures in it merely projections. There is nothing to escape from and nothing to escape to. One is always alone.
We often feel that we lack something, and seem to see that very quality in someone else, promptly attributing all our own qualities to him too, and a kind of ideal contentment as well. And so the happy mortal is a model of complete perfection--which we have ourselves created.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them.
It sometimes takes a state of solitude to bring to mind the real power of companionship.
Stephen Richards
The awful daring of a moment's surrender which an age of prudence can never retract.
The question Americans should ask is not whether a candidate is affiliated with a particular faith but rather whether that candidate's faith makes it more likely he or she will support policies that align with their values.
Gary Bauer
In a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
Love is the only future God offers.
Victor Hugo

Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage.
Frederick Buechner
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
Birth, copulation and death. That's all the facts when you come to the brass tacks.
Another grave limitation of language is that it cannot, like music or gesture, do more than one thing at once. However the words in a great poet's phrase interinanimate one another and strike the mind as a quasi-instantaneous chord, yet, strictly speaking, each word must be read or heard before the next. That way, language is as unilinear as time. Hence, in narrative, the great difficulty of presenting a very complicated change which happens suddenly. If we do justice to the complexity, the time the reader must take over the passage will destroy the feeling of suddenness. If we get the suddenness we shall not be able to get in the complexity. I am not saying that genius will not find its own way of palliating this defect in the instrument; only that the instrument is in this way defective.
C.S. Lewis
I'm back to doing everything I used to, loving life as ever.
Donna Mills
When we read of human beings behaving in certain ways, with the approval of the author, who gives his benediction to this behavior by his attitude towards the result of the behavior arranged by himself, we can be influenced towards behaving in the same way.
Love is most nearly itself when here and now cease to matter.
