I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything. The sun came up like gold through the trees, and I felt like I was in heaven.
What if love wasn't the act of finding what you were missing but the give-and-take that made you both match?
Jodi Picoult
(When asked: But you have a very open relationship with your fans.) Yes. We have an open relationship. Obviously they can see other authors if they want, and I can see other readers.
Neil Gaiman
I just held her hand and tried to imagine the world without us and for about one second I was a good enough person to hope she died so she would never know that I was going, too. But then I wanted more time so we could fall in love.
John Green
I can't do this to you,' he said, drawing back. Emily put her hand on his and pulled the gun to her temple. 'Then do it for me,' she said.
you must not come lightly to the blank page.
Stephen King
Maybe what we really want is for our children to be the dominant ones! Maybe I'm trying to see my own ambitions fulfilled in them, and that would be wrong, so I should be content with what they are.
Orson Scott Card
Stand-up is like a movie every night. You write it, direct it, produce it, the audience votes, and you go home. There's nothing more satisfying.
Elayne Boosler
Red Carpet: Watching people who actually chase their dreams; criticizing what they're wearing... and wondering why we're depressed.
Steve Maraboli
Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.
Ramana Maharshi
I've spent lots of time in London, I studied in London, I like London. It's just not my home.
Johnny Vegas
It is not enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imagining such a source to be some God outside you. One's source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the source and merge in it.
You need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.
If one wants to abide in the thought-free state, a struggle is inevitable. One must fight one's way through before regaining one's original primal state. If one succeeds in the fight and reaches the goal, the enemy, namely the thoughts, will all subside in the Self and disappear entirely.
If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.
The beauty of this country and what people participate in is the competitive nature that we allow to exist and the fact is that we are better because we have great competitors.
Lee Scott
We have a Bill of rights. What we need is a Bill of responsibilities.
Bill Maher
Mass communication, radio, and especially television, have attempted, not without success, to annihilate every possibility of solitude and reflection.
Eugenio Montale
An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.
Emil Zatopek
Das freieste Lied dringt nicht durch Gitter und Draht.
Kahlil Gibran
Confidence is courage at ease.
Daniel Maher
I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire it for themselves, and secondly, those who desire it for others. When I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Abraham Lincoln
The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision.
Maimonides
Teach thy tongue to say I do not know and thou shalt progress.
Man is a dog's ideal of what God should be.
Andre Malraux
Man is insatiable for power; he is infantile in his desires and, always discontented with what he has, loves only what he has not. People complain of the despotism of princes; they ought to complain of the despotism of man.
Joseph De Maistre
We are tainted by modern philosophy which has taught us that all is good, whereas evil has polluted everything and in a very real sense all is evil, since nothing is in its proper place.
If there was no moral evil upon earth, there would be no physical evil.
In the works of man, everything is as poor as its author; vision is confined, means are limited, scope is restricted, movements are labored, and results are humdrum.
President Obama clearly cannot run on his record. All he's offering is more of the same. That's not good. Look at the economy. It's stagnating. And so, what they're now going to try and do is bring this campaign down to little things, distractions, distortions, smear, fear, anger, frustration.
Paul Ryan
We are all bound to the throne of the Supreme Being by a flexible chain which restrains without enslaving us. The most wonderful aspect of the universal scheme of things is the action of free beings under divine guidance.
It can even come about that a created will cancels out, not perhaps the exertion, but the result of divine action; for in this sense, God himself has told us that God wishes things which do not happen because man does not wish them! Thus the rights of men are immense, and his greatest misfortune is to be unaware of them.
Man in general, if reduced to himself, is too wicked to be free.
It is this mythical, or rather symbolic, content of the religious traditions which is likely to come into conflict with science. This occurs whenever this religious stock of ideas contains dogmatically fixed statements on subjects which belong in the domain of science.
Albert Einstein
I do love DVD and I've always taken them seriously. You know, on the Austin things, we really put a ton of work into them because there's so much design involved. And in this one, we thought a lot about it and what could go in.
Jay Roach
There were corpses here and there and pools of blood. I remember seeing a butterfly flutter up and down that street. Summer does not abdicate.
Victor Hugo
Justice is achieved not in striving for justice, but with love.
Leo Tolstoy
In much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand.
Neil Armstrong
Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
John Steinbeck
He can run faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo.
J.K. Rowling
You know what's funny to me? Attitude.
