Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing, and life doesn't.

It is, indeed, at home that every man must be known by those who would make a just estimate either of his virtue or felicity; for smiles and embroidery are alike occasional, and the mind is often dressed for show in painted honor, and fictitious benevolence.

Samuel Johnson

Congress is attempting to eviscerate women's health care. Like many women across America, I am outraged.

Felicity Huffman

Look folks, we know who built this country and we know who is going to rebuild it. It's you. Instead of vilifying you, we should be thanking you. We owe you.

Joe Biden

Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money.

Jules Renard

Love is not love if it compelled by reason and driven by logic - love exists in spite of those things, not because of them. It is a emotion which needs no fuel to fire it or oxygen to feed it; if you have to look for the why, then stop looking; it was never there at all.

Julia Cameron

My best moment? I have a lot of good moments but the one I prefer is when I kicked the hooligan.

Eric Cantona

It was the shadow of Some one who had gone by long before: of Some one who had gone on far away quite out of reach, never, never to come back. It was bright to look at; and when the tiny woman showed it to the Princess, she was proud of it with all her heart, as a great, great, treasure. When the Princess had considered it a little while, she said to the tiny woman, And you keep watch over this, every day? And she cast down her eyes, and whispered, Yes. Then the Princess said, Remind me why. To which the other replied, that no one so good and so kind had ever passed that way, and that was why in the beginning. She said, too, that nobody missed it, that nobody was the worse for it, that Some one had gone on to those who were expecting him-- 'Some one was a man then?' interposed Maggy. Little Dorrit timidly said yes, she believed so; and resumed:'-- Had gone on to those who were expecting him, and that this remembrance was stolen or kept back from nobody. The Princess made answer, Ah! But when the cottager died it would be discovered there. The tiny woman told her No; when that time came, it would sink quietly into her own grave, and would never be found.

Charles Dickens

Plant seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love; it will all come back to you in abundance. This is the law of nature.

Steve Maraboli

You can hate me. You can go out there and say anything you want about me, But you will love me later because I told you the truth.

Mary J. Blige

There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual.

William James

Somebody knows.

I have news for the forces of greed and the defenders of the status quo; your time has come and gone. It's time for change in America.
