I like the cold weather. It means you get work done.
We have our little theory on all human and divine things. Poetry, the workings of genius itself, which, in all times, with one or another meaning, has been called Inspiration, and held to be mysterious and inscrutable, is no longer without its scientific exposition. The building of the lofty rhyme is like any other masonry or bricklaying: we have theories of its rise, height, decline and fall -- which latter, it would seem, is now near, among all people.
Thomas Carlyle
Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.
Angelina Jolie
For man is not the creature and product of Mechanism; but, in a far truer sense, its creator and producer.
Not what I have, but what I do is my kingdom.
The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self, the Soul, the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.
Clarence Clemons
A public expectation, it has to be said, not of poetry as such but of political positions variously approvable by mutually disapproving groups.
Seamus Heaney
Happiness is rarely absent it is we that know not of its presence.
Maurice Maeterlinck
Some kind of philosophy is a necessity to all but the most thoughtless, and in the absence of knowledge it is almost sure to be a silly philosophy.
Bertrand Russell
The other night I came home late, and tried to unlock my house with my car keys. I started the house up. So, I drove it around for a while. I was speeding, and a cop pulled me over. He asked where I lived. I said, right here, officer. Later, I parked it on the freeway, got out, and yelled at all the cars, Get out of my driveway!
Steven Wright
As a vibrant force in civil society, women continue to press for their rights, equal participation in decision-making, and the upholding of the principles of the revolution by the highest levels of leadership in Egypt.
Michelle Bachelet
Most of Roosevelt's innovations have been the law of the land for 70 years now, and yet we are still a free society free enough, that is, to allow tens of thousands of protesters to gather on the National Mall and to broadcast their slogans and speeches to the world via C-SPAN.
Thomas Frank

Darrell Issa
In any solid, good relationship, it takes a while to trust someone.
Minka Kelly

Daniel Ek
Born for success he seemed, With grace to win, with heart to hold, With shining gifts that took all eyes
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When I was in nursery school, the teachers asked me, y'know, 'What does your dad do for a living?' So I said 'He helps women get pregnant!' They called my mom and they were like, 'What exactly does your husband do?'
Natalie Portman
I don't get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on, well, maybe.
Morgan Freeman
It is clear I was never the Pretty Girl. I had my two front teeth knocked out when I was 10 and didn't fix them until I was 19. I have a crooked smile and a nose that looks like it's been broken 12 times but never has been. My nose was always red, so people called me Rudolph. My whole face is off-center.
Ellen Barkin
If we were to wake up some morning and find that everyone was the same race, creed and color, we would find some other causes for prejudice by noon.
George Aiken
The way of architecture is the quiet voice that underlies it and has guided it from the beginning.
Arthur Erickson
While it is true that we must seek value added industries like food processing plants and call center operations, we must do what is necessary to expand and develop our economic profile.
Alan Autry
I am at that age when you panic at the slightest thing.
Rupert Everett
The reaper does not listen to the harvest.

I went down to Safeways, and I bought her a packet of best ground sirloin.
Neil Gaiman
If you try and lose then it isn't your fault. But if you don't try and we lose, then it's all your fault.
Orson Scott Card
There are always two parties, the party of the Past and the party of the Future: the Establishment and the Movement. At times the resistance is reanimated, the schism runs under the world and appears in Literature, Philosophy, Church, State and social customs.
Be good. Do good. The devil wields no power over a good man.
Harry Segall
I am proud to represent these men and women who empower people in developing nations and promote the Peace Corps mission of peace and friendship. These volunteers are making major strides to improve the lives of people and communities around the world.
Kenny Marchant
People who keep dogs are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves.
August Strindberg
I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.
David Bowie
A philosopher might have deplored this lack of mental ambition, but only if he was about where his next meal was coming from.In fact Lancre's position and climate bred a hard-headed and straightforward people who often excelled in the world down below. it had supplied the planins with many of their greatest wizards and witches and, once again, the philospher might have marveled that such a four-square people could give the world so many successful magical practitioners, being quite unaware that only those with their feet on rock can build castles in the air.
Virtually every writer I know would rather be a musician.
Kurt Vonnegut
I grew up not really having anything, so the idea that I can take care of my family and my friends now is a really cool bonus.
Katy Perry
Intellect annuls fate. So far as a man thinks, he is free.
Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.
W. Somerset Maugham
It can be liberating to get fired because you realize the world doesn't end. There's other ways to make money, better jobs.
Ron Livingston
I always had this non-stop drive. I had to keep sending stories out and every once in awhile I'd get something accepted or get the little trickle of positive feedback.
Kevin J. Anderson
No one can get an education, for of necessity education is a continuing process.
Louis L'Amour
Sometimes parents don't find what they're looking for it their child, so they plant seeds for what they'd like to grow there instead. I've witnessed this with the former hockey player who takes his son out to skate before he can even walk. Or in the mother who gave up her ballet dreams when she married, but now scrapes her daughter's hair into a bun and watched from the wings of the stage. We are not, as you'd expect, orchestrating their lives; we are not even trying for a second chance. We are hoping that if this one thing takes root, it might take up enough light and space to keep something else from developing in our children: the disappointment we've already lived.
