Necessity is not an established fact, but an interpretation.
It's a real roller-coaster ride if you're lucky to have longevity in this business - you have to be able to ride those waves.
Jennifer Lopez
We are at war between consciousness and nature, between the desire for permanence and the fact of flux. It is ourself against ourselves.
Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecu
There's an album by Antonio Carlos Jobim - the album with 'The Girl From Ipanema.' That's the most seductive music ever.
Harry Connick, Jr.
Whenever we encounter the Infinite in man, however imperfectly understood, we treat it with respect. Whether in the synagogue, the mosque, the pagoda, or the wigwam, there is a hideous aspect which we execrate and a sublime aspect which we venerate . So great a subject for spiritual contemplation, such measureless dreaming -- the echo of God on the human wall!
Victor Hugo

Terry Pratchett
Yet in this global economy, no jobs are safe. High-speed Internet connections and low-cost, skilled labor overseas are an explosive combination.
Bob Taft
Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.
Alan Alda
All too often miners, and indeed other trade unionists, underestimate the economic strength they have.
Arthur Scargill
Civilization is a limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities
Mark Twain
To separate oneself or one
Joseph Campbell
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Mahatma Gandhi
It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value.
Arthur C. Clarke
I used my imagination to make the grass whatever color I wanted it to be.
Whoopi Goldberg
She has never been a pretty crier. She sobbed the way she did everything else - with passion and excess. That she had managed to keep it inside her this long was astounding to James. He thought of pushing open the half-closed door and kneeling before his wife, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and helping her upstairs. He raised his hand, stroking the wood of the door, planning to say something to calm her. But what wisdom could he offer Gus, when he could not even heed it himself? James walked upstairs again, got into bed, covered his head with a pillow. And hours later, when Gus crept beneath the sheets, he tried to pretend that he did not feel the weight of her grief, lying between them like a fitful child, so solid that he could not reach past it to touch her.
Jodi Picoult
Advertisements are of great use to the vulgar. First of all, as they are instruments of ambition. A man that is by no means big enough for the Gazette, may easily creep into the advertisements; by which means we often see an apothecary in the same paper of news with a plenipotentiary, or a running footman with an ambassador.
Joseph Addison
Home schooled children frequently combine for many purposes - and they interact well. The growth of the home schooling movement means that more and more children are learning together, just not in a traditional classroom.
Ernest Istook
Certainly virtue is like precious odors, most fragrant when they are incensed, or crushed: for prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue.
Francis Bacon
We learned in World War II that no single nation holds a monopoly on wisdom, morality or right to power, but that we must fight for the weak and promote democracy.
Joe Baca
Happy is the novelist who manages to preserve an actual love letter that he received when he was young within a work of fiction, embedded in it like a clean bullet in flabby flesh and quite secure there, among spurious lives.
Vladimir Nabokov
I grew up with all boys in my family, where there was no place for girlie stuff. But it's amazing to walk into my house now. Everything is pink!
Jerry O'Connell
Go then, there are other worlds than these.
Stephen King
However evil men may be they dare not be openly hostile to virtue, and so when they want to attack it they pretend to find it spurious , or impute crimes to it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
I'm actually tougher on myself as I get older. It's a vicious cycle. The things that are important in life are the things that you can't buy in life: love, health and happiness. I say that, and I believe that, and I try to live that.
Criss Angel
'Tis the sunset of life gives me mystical lore,And coming events cast their shadows before.
Thomas Campbell, Lochiel
Experience by itself proves nothing. Experience proves this, or that, or nothing, according to the preconceptions we bring to it.
C.S. Lewis
I've always been scared of advertising folk. I've met them at parties and I've been to their offices and I've always found them intimidatingly cool. At one company I visited, they held their meetings in a caravan that had somehow been installed in the place, a rather more exotic place to gather than the typical BBC glass box.
Evan Davis
Civility is but a desire to receive civility, and to be esteemed polite.
It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.
Robert Louis Stevenson
However brilliant an action, it should not be esteemed great unless the result of a great motive.
Francois de la Rochefoucauld, Ma
Coffee and smoking are the last great addictions.
Lara Flynn Boyle
Love not Pleasure; love God.
Thomas Carlyle
When one has extensively pondered about men, as a career or as a vocation, one sometimes feels nostalgic for primates. At least they do not have ulterior motives.
Albert Camus, The Fall
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.
Maya Angelou
My vocation is more in composition really than anything else -- building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.
Jimmy Page
We all have our pet things that we like to get religious about.
Max Cannon
Our days are a kaleidoscope. Every instant a change takes place in the contents. New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every sort. Nothing ever happens twice alike. The most familiar people stand each moment in some new relation to each other, to their work, to surrounding objects. The most tranquil house, with the most serene inhabitants, living upon the utmost regularity of system, is yet exemplifying infinite diversities.
Henry Ward Beecher
There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Instead of fulfilling the promise of infinite orgasmic bliss, sex in the America of the feminine mystique is becoming a strangely joyless national compulsion, if not a contemptuous mockery.
Betty Friedan
As love without esteem is capricious and volatile; esteem without love is languid and cold.
Jonathan Swift
In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.
