A leader is admired, a boss is feared.
He had no ideal world of dead heroes; he knew little of the life of men in the past; he must find the beings to whom he could cling with loving admiration among those who came within speech of him.
George Eliot
The distinction between pretending you are better than you are and beginning to be better in reality is finer than moral sleuth hounds conceive.
C.S. Lewis
I took some time out for life.

For a week or a fortnight I can write prodigiously in a retired place (as at Broadstairs), and a day in London sets me up again and starts me.

Elizabeth George Speare
People are so cheap. Everyone wants quality, no one wants to pay for it. Here's the suburban dream-- to hire great workers who are such meek morons that they don't have the guts to ask for a living wage.
Joan Bauer
In my dream I drove an RV off a cliff, because rather than hit the brakes or steer to safety, I was more concerned with either changing the radio station or turning the volume all the way down. They were playing Lady Gaga.?
Jarod Kintz
The journey to a thousand stars is not too far a journey in the quest to have true love abiding in a pure heart.

Brocker's son with the gentle gray eyes.She abandoned all pretense of decorum and ran at him.
Kristin Cashore
Basically, when you get to my age, you'll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.

People are always complaining that life's not fair, but that simply isn't true. Life is extraordinarily fair. It's just not centered on you.
Lynn Marie Sager
I belive that there is a subtile magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright. It is not indifferent to us which way we walk. There is a right way; but we are very liable from heedlessness and stupidity to take the wrong one. We would fain take that walk, never yet taken by us through this actual world, which is perfectly symbolical of the path which we love to travel in the interior and ideal world; and sometimes, no doubt, we find it difficult to choose our direction, because it does not yet exist distinctly in our idea.
Henry David Thoreau
If you want to become healthy, you have to surround yourself with a group of people that are getting healthy, and you have to be connected to a community that is doing what you want to do.

Nothing else you want to do after all your dreams come true. You've become numb. You shouldn't have ever stopped dreaming.

As our own species is in the process of proving, one cannot have superior science and inferior morals. The combination is unstable and self-destroying.

Dance is the only art of which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made.

Francis Bacon
Oh juventud nunca dejes de pensar...
Albert Einstein
Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind.
William Shakespeare
Since I had started to break down all my writing and get rid of all facility and try to make instead of describe, writing had been wonderful to do.
Ernest Hemingway
It is no surprise to me that hardly anyone tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep themselves to themselves for good reason. Why would you want to tell anyone anything that's dear to you? Even when you like them and want nothing more than to be closer than close to them? It's so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.
Henry Rollins
I knew what it was to yearn for a life so distant it seemed that it had never been anything more than a dream.
Courage, Love, Illusion (or dream, if you will) -- he who possesses all three, or two, or at least one of these things wins whatever there is to win; those who lack all three are the failures.
