She going to be free now. She can go home to Jesus. Call me selfish, but I wanted her to go home with me.
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
Paul McCartney
Nothing flatters a man as much as the happiness of his wife he is always proud of himself as the source of it.
Samuel Johnson
I spent many years trying to write a lot like Ben Folds or John Lennon or Rivers Cuomo. I think that's healthy when you're learning to write and seeing how chords fit together and how songs take shape.
Andrew Dost

The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life.
Leo Tolstoy
It is better to rise from life as from a banquet -- neither thirsty nor drunken.
Aristotle
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness.
To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
Winston Churchill
I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way. We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
More than any other setting - more than battlefields or boardrooms or a spaceship headed for intergalactic travel - I'll put my money on the family to provide an endless source of comedy, tragedy and intrigue.
Joyce Maynard
It is easy to fly into a passion... anybody can do that, but to be angry with the right person to the right extent and at the right time and in the right way that is not easy.
The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.
As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artists sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a freedom or a confusion.
Jasper Johns
It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.
Henry James
After a fellow gets famous it doesn't take long for someone to bob up that used to sit by him in school.
Kin Hubbard
Marriage may be the closest thing to Heaven or Hell any of us will know on this earth.
Edwin Louis Cole
Technical knowledge has now become an integral aspect of the Iranian psyche.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.
Saint Francis of Assisi, (attrib
Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack on our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society... It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff.
Stephen Harper

Listening: A wise old owl sat in an oak. The longer he sat, the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard. Why can't we be like that wise old bird?
Business is not just doing deals business is having great products, doing great engineering, and providing tremendous service to customers. Finally, business is a cobweb of human relationships.
Ross Perot
Somehow a bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever.
Helen Rowland
Since fantasy isn't about technology, the accelleration has no impact at all. But it's changed the lives of fantasy writers and editors. I get to live in England and work for a New York publisher!
Terri Windling
Both conservatives and liberals watch 'Parks and Recreation,' and they each think the show is for them, which is really cool. 'SNL' was totally different. It was exciting because everyone was paying attention. Political humor works when people know what you're talking about.
Amy Poehler
The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.
Confucius
I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken - and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.
Margaret Mitchell
The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.
Thomas a Kempis
Am I a romantic? I've seen 'Wuthering Heights' ten times. I'm a romantic.
Johnny Depp
The medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium - that is, of any extension of ourselves - result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology.
Marshall McLuhan
I think you're working and learning until you die.
J. K. Rowling
When the newspapers have got nothing else to talk about, they cut loose on the young. The young are always news. If they are up to something, that's news. If they aren't, that's news too.
