I'm very blessed, thankful, grateful for the opportunities I've had.

My next adventure will be being in a car with Mischa at the wheel.

There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.

Ansel Adams

Look for a long time at what pleases you, and a longer time at what pains you.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

Human beings of all societies in all periods of history believe that their ideas on the nature of the real world are the most secure, and that their ideas on religion, ethics and justice are the most enlightened. Like us, they think that final knowledge is at last within reach. Like us, they pity the people in earlier ages for not knowing the true facts. Unfailingly, human beings pity their ancestors for being so ignorant and forget that their descendants will pity them for the same reason.

Edward Harrison, The Uncertainty

O Children of Men! Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over the other. Ponder at all times in your hearts how ye were created. Since We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest. Such is My counsel to you, O concourse of light! Heed ye this counsel that ye may obtain the fruit of holiness from the tree of wondrous glory.

Baha'u'llah

If one cannot invent a really convincing lie, it is often better to stick to the truth.

Angela Thirkell

The real writer is one who really writes. Talent is an invention like phlogiston after the fact of fire. Work is its own cure. You have to like it better than being loved.

Marge Piercy

The ugly and stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat. They live as we all should live-- undisturbed, indifferent, and without disquiet. They never bring ruin upon others, nor ever receive it from alien hands. Your rank and wealth, Henry; my brains, such as they are-- my art, whatever it may be worth; Dorian Gray's good looks-- we shall all suffer for what the gods have given us, suffer terribly.

Oscar Wilde

Parents need to teach their children principles of respect and acceptance.

Zachary Quinto

The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

Billy Graham

Nature is a revelation of God; Art a revelation of man.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I pressed my father's hand and told him I would protect his grave with my life. My father smiled and passed away to the spirit land.
