A nation is formed by the willingness of each of us to share in the responsibility for upholding the common good.
All was over in a moment. I had fulfilled my destiny. I was a captive and a slave. I loved Dora Spenlow to distraction! She was more than human to me. She was a Fairy, a Sylph, I don't know what she was - anything that no one ever saw, and everything that everybody ever wanted. I was swallowed up in an abyss of love in an instant. There was no pausing on the brink; no looking down, or looking back; I was gone, headlong, before I had sense to say a word to her.
Charles Dickens
There's no such thing as an actor giving positive criticism to a director. The minute you say 'Don't you think it would look nicer...', that director's going to hate your guts. Particularly if it's a good idea.
Peter Mullan
Peace in the struggle to find peace.. comfort on the way to comfort. And if I shed a tear I won't cage it I won't fear love. And if I feel a rage I won't deny it...I won't fear love.
Sarah McLachlan
All schools, all colleges have two great functions to confer, and to conceal valuable knowledge. - Notebook, 1908
Mark Twain
I want to hold the hand inside i want to take the breath thats true i look to you and i see nothing i look to you to see the truth you live your in shadows fade into you into your darkness

The gifts of an honorable, well-lived life are in those who will miss you once you're gone.
Don Williams, Jr
I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.
Gaston Bachelard
Without fear there cannot be courage.
Christopher Paolini
All of us are infected today with an extraordinary egoism. And that is not freedom; freedom means learning to demand only of oneself, not of life and others, and knowing how to give: sacrifice in the name of love.
Andrei Tarkovsky
i want to be stronger, so i can protect what i love more.
Hiroko Sakai
For more than a year, he'd felt destined to marry Isabel Arundell; now, suddenly, he wasn't so sure. He loved her, that was certain, but he also resented her. He loved her strength and practicality but resented her overbearing personality and tendency to do things on his behalf without consulting him first; loved that she tolerated his interest in all things exotic and erotic but hated her blinkered Catholicism. Charles Darwin had killed God but she and her family, like so many others, still clung to the delusion.
Mark Hodder
Love is or it ain't. Thin love ain't love at all.
Toni Morrison
I found her lying on her stomach, her hind legs stretched out straight, and her front feet folded back under her chest. She had laid her head on his grave. I saw the trail where she had dragged herself through the leaves. The way she lay there, I thought she was alive. I called her name. She made no movement. With the last ounce of strength in her body, she had dragged herself to the grave of Old Dan.
Wilson Rawls
Sometimes what we want isn't what we need.
Gena Showalter
There are a couple of ideas for features that I would love to do. They happen to be comedies.
David Simon
Beauty is the illumination of your soul.
John O'Donohue
I am a Hindu by birth. And yet I do not know much of Hinduism, and I know less of other religions. In fact I do not know where I am, and what is and what should be my belief. I intend to make a careful study of my own religion and, as far as I can, of other religions as well.
Mahatma Gandhi
Topography is one of my chief themes in my poetry..about the country,the suburbs and the seaside...then there come's love..and increasingly; the fear of death
John Betjeman
I'm really thankful to God, man. Like now, I'm really making a real comeback with my group. With or without a record, with or without a movie. And behind all the negative press behind this movie.
Ike Turner
One can show the following: given any rule, however fundamental or necessary for science, there are always circumstances when it is advisable not only to ignore the rule, but to adopt its opposite.
Paul Karl Feyerabend
The most important thing I gained from my travels was the knowledge that one could achieve anything with determination and an ounce of luck.
Stefan Waydenfeld
A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, but a beautiful woman with a brain is an absolutely lethal combination.
Prabal Gurung
Physical vision - one might say scientific vision - brings about a metaphysical shift in the observer's view of reality as a whole. The geography of the earth, or the structure of the solar system, are in an instant utterly changed, and forever. The explorer, the scientific observer, the literary reader, experience the Sublime: a moment of revelation into the idea of the unbounded, the infinite.
Richard Holmes
Most achievements in science are to a certain degree group efforts.
Willard Libby
No matter where you go or what you do, you live your entire life within the confines of your head.
Terry Josephson
Well, when all is said and done Best within my narrow way, May some angel of the sun Muse memorial o'er my clay: 'Here was beauty all betrayed From the freedom of her state; From her human uses stayed On an idle rhyme to wait.
George William Russell
It is not that accepting and rejecting are great actions within themselves. But the right to accept or reject, now that is everything.
Joshua Emmet
I really feel there's no limitation on what this band can do in the studio or on the stage. That's an empowering feeling - that we can bring a song to life.
Ben Harper
Don't be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter you.
Dale Carnegie
Perpetual inspiration is as necessary to the life of goodness, holiness and happiness as perpetual respiration is necessary to animal life.
Andrew Bonar Law
The blazing brightnesse of her beauties beame, / And glorious light of her sunshyny face / To tell, were as to strive against the streame.
Edmund Spenser
Never lend if you need repayment; never give where you want a return.
Lindsey Davis
The breathing of the air, The song of the sweet nightingale, The grove and its beauty In the serene night, With the flame that consumes, and gives no pains. ~ 39
John of the Cross
Every mystery ever solved had been a puzzle from the dawn of the human species right up until someone solved it.
Eliezer Yudkowsky
If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress.
Barack Obama
Beauty, the eternal Spouse of the Wisdom of God and Angel of his Presence thru' all creation.
Robert Bridges
That's just how time travel looks like to the untrained eye. The reason why there aren't more travelers is that your average physicist refuses to be eaten by a giraffe in the name of science.
Bradley Sands
So that's what we did - rocketing down Sixth Avenue, dashing around the rest of the post-concert crowd, splashing our tracks until our ankles were soaked. You took the lead, and I started to lose my sprint. But then you looked back, stopped, and waited for me to catch up, for me to take your hand, for us to continue to run in the rain, drenched and enchanted, my words to Amanda no longer feeling like a requirement, but a foretelling.
David Levithan
The ugly and stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat. They live as we all should live-- undisturbed, indifferent, and without disquiet. They never bring ruin upon others, nor ever receive it from alien hands. Your rank and wealth, Henry; my brains, such as they are-- my art, whatever it may be worth; Dorian Gray's good looks-- we shall all suffer for what the gods have given us, suffer terribly.
Oscar Wilde
Voices and faces aren't manifestationsof good or bad.
