We need money. We need hits. Hits bring money, money bring power, power bring fame, fame change the game.
One great function of the arts is to keep ideals alive in a culture that does not yet realize them.
Susan Neiman
How can I be reasonable? To me our love was everything and you were my whole life. It is not very pleasant to realize that to you it was only an episode.
W. Somerset Maugham
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step...so watch your step
Jeffrey R. Holland
I would not have majored in English and gone on to teach literature had I not been able to construct a counterargument about the truthfulness of fiction; still, as writers turn away from the industrious villages of George Eliot and Thomas Hardy, I learn less and less from them that helps me to ponder my life. In time, I found myself agreeing with the course evaluations written by my testier freshman students:'All the literature we read this term was depressing.' How naive. How sane.
Mary Rose O'Reilley
Most people who fall obsessively in love claim that it happens precipitously, unexpectedly [...]But I believe there's almost always a prerequisite. Falling in love in this way will usually occur at a time of transition. We may not be conscious of it, but something has ended and something new must begin. Romantic obsession is like a cataclysm breaking up the empty landscape. Like a strange exotic plant, it grows in arid soil. (pp. 27-28)
Rosemary Sullivan
Thirty spokesShare one hub.Make the nothing therein appropriate, and you will have the use of the cart.
Lao Tzu
The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion. Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching nor learning. They are windows on the past, mirrors on the present, and prisms reflected all possible futures. Books are lighthouses erected on the dark sea of time.
Greg Weisman
Be a true Heart, not a follower.
Ed Sheeran
To choose ways of not acting was ever the concern and scruple of my life.
Fernando Pessoa
What does jealousy indicate? Jealousy is love manifested in the physical world. If you are jealous you have a debt to pay; if someone is jealous of you, he has a debt to pay to you.
Peter Deunov
You'll never know everything about anything, especially something you love.
Julia Child
Humans are not proud of their ancestors, and rarely invite them round to dinner.
Douglas Adams
But your book is wrong, Mrs. Strunk, says George, when it tells you that Jim is the substitute I found for a real son, a real kid brother, a real husband, a real wife. Jim wasn't a substitute for anything. And there is no substitute for Jim, if you'll forgive my saying so, anywhere.
Christopher Isherwood
I started writing morning pages just to keep my hand in, you know, just because I was a writer and I didn't know what else to do but write. And then one day as I was writing, a character came sort of strolling in and I realized, Oh my God, I don't have to be just a screenwriter. I can write novels.
Julia Cameron
Do your best and let God do the rest.
Ben Carson
When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression no matter how holy the motives.
Robert A. Heinlein
We oppose the West's efforts to gain a monopoly in nuclear fuel, and in nuclear industry and science. I believe that the Iranian success is a great success for the Islamic world.
Mohammad-Javad Larijani
Truth does not require your painting, brother; it is itself beauty. Unfold it, and men will be captivated. Take your brush to set off the rainbow, or give a new tinge of splendor to the setting sun, but keep it away from the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley.
David Thomas
In particular, the efforts to reestablish peace after the World War have been directed toward the formation of states and the regulation of their frontiers according to a consciously national program.
Christian Lous Lange
Abstraction brings the world into more complex, variable relations it can extract beauty, alternative topographies, ugliness, and intense actualities from seeming nothingness.
Jerry Saltz
Science is not inevitable; this question is very fruitful indeed.
Edgar Zilsel
I love everything that's old, - old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine.
Oliver Goldsmith
The key to keep a great friendship is not to make friends with the people who are really not your friend.
Hiroko Sakai
I would wear a full-length cape if I could get away with it - I do love a good swirl in a fog.
Martin Freeman
She knew... everything. She had no words for what she knew. The pause became anticipatory silence. There were no words she could use for the reality and truth and understanding she had been given.
Sheri S. Tepper
Because some things are never meant to be anything more than a moment. And that was one of them.
Kevin Brooks
Here's something else to think about: calling when you say you're going to is the very first brick in the house you are building of love and trust. If he can't lay this one stupid brick down, you ain't never gonna have a house baby, and it's cold outside.
Greg Behrendt
I love to have battles of the wits with people that can dish fast and dirty - and it leads to problems occasionally, 'cause I can sound mean without attempting to be mean.
Alton Brown
This book is not a biography; it is the confession of every man who struggles. In publishing it I have fulfilled my duty, the duty of a person who struggled much, was embittered in his life
Nikos Kazantzakis
Many, many readers have written asking me wistfully about the nature of Sam and Grace's relationship, and I can assure you, that sort is absolutely real. Mutual, respectful, enduring love is completely attainable as long as you swear you won't settle for less.
Maggie Stiefvater
Truth is what your contemporaries let you get away with.
Richard M. Rorty
In the golden rule of Jesus of Nazareth, we read the complete spirit of the ethics of utility. To do as one would be done by, and to love one's neighbour as oneself, constitute the ideal perfection of utilitarian morality.
John Stuart Mill
My poems are naughty, but my life is pure.
Marcus Valerius Martial
Everything I write comes from my childhood in one way or another. I am forever drawing on the sense of mystery and wonder and possibility that pervaded that time of my life.
Kate DiCamillo
Nature is no spendthrift, but takes the shortest way to her ends
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is where you find it.
Madonna Ciccone
Humans love truth and justice, and rejoice in ceremonies that honor those qualities. For that sentiment we should indeed thank God.
Alfred Day Hershey
Beautiful doesn't begin to describe it. A flower is beautiful. But this is beautiful the way that a person is beautiful- terrifying with its jagged edges, yet seductive with its crevices that hide so many secrets.
Jeri Smith-Ready
I had a story tell, a story that needed to be told so that people would know the truth.
Jessica Lynch
Home is wherever I'm with you. Home is where I'm alone with you.
