Joseph Campbell
The way to write is to throw your body at the mark when your arrows are spent.

Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest--whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories--comes afterward. These are games; one must first answer.
Albert Camus
Until they throw the money changers out of the temple of art, it will never be a real temple.
Leo Tolstoy
Never does one feel oneself so utterly helpless as in trying to speak comfort for great bereavement. I will not try it. Time is the only comforter for the loss of a mother.
Jane Welsh Carlyle
When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned; they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny; they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar.
Victor Hugo

Richard M. Daley
It is sad and wrong to be so dependent for the life of my life on any human being as I am on you; but I cannot by any force of logic cure myself at this date, when it has become second nature.

Ogden Nash
If the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go: perchance it will wear smooth,
Henry David Thoreau
Amin knew that neither West nor East would criticize him for fear that he would support the other side. He felt he was untouchable and he said so openly.
Ryszard Kapuscinski
It is reasonable that everyone who asks justice should do justice
Thomas Jefferson
I'm just confused as to where we lost that in America because it is everyone's God-given right to think the way they think and that's fine. That's why our ancestors came here to America, to believe what they want, pray how they want and follow a religion with whoever they want.
Angie Harmon
I think you can have 10,000 explanations for failure, but no good explanation for success.
Paulo Coelho
Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.
Blaise Pascal
Every one of our greatest national treasures, our liberty, enterprise, vitality, wealth, military power, global authority, flow from a surprising source: our ability to give thanks.
Tony Snow
For is not a Symbol ever, to him who has eyes for it, some dimmer or clearer revelation of the God-like?
Thomas Carlyle
I made education the highest priority of my campaign - actually education and jobs - and the reason is a simple one: I think the future of America depends on it.

George Bernard Shaw
Freedom - to walk free and own no superior.
Walt Whitman
The happiness and peace attained by those satisfied by the nectar of spiritual tranquillity is not attained by greedy persons restlessly moving here and there.
Chanakya
There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms.
George Eliot
Mysterious language is not a sign of wisdom. The wiser a person is, the simpler the language he uses to express his thoughts.
The Internet is a powerful way to make lots of money... But we are not going to buy Yahoo!
Sumner Redstone
No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.
Abraham Lincoln
I got amazing training both with Theatre Sports... back in Edmonton, Alberta - I can't give those people enough credit - and the daytime drama I did. Incredible training, both of them.
Nathan Fillion
Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions? Is it fear of losing ourselves? Until we do lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.

Tell your story. Don't try and tell the stories that other people can tell. Any starting writer starts out with other people's voices. But as quickly as you can start telling the stories that only you can tell, because there will always be better writers than you and there will always be smarter writers than you, but you are the only you.
Like a French poem is life; being only perfect in structure when with the masculine rhymes mingled the feminine are.
