Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
As long as we can tell stories about our ability to survive, the more we will hope, not self-destruct.
Christina Ricci
Love is more afraid of change than destruction
Friedrich Nietzsche
In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history.
Albert Camus
If I despised myself, it would be no compensation if everyone saluted me, and if I respect myself, it does not trouble me if others hold me lightly.
Max Nordau
Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.
Kahlil Gibran
Instead of killing and dying in order to produce the being that we are not, we have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
I've also just finished filming the role of Robert Brown in 'Just William,' which is due to transmit on BBC One at Christmas.
Harry Melling
Whoever today speaks of human existence in terms of power, efficiency, and historical tasks is an actual or potential assassin.
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
Douglas Horton
Night poured over the desert. It came suddenly, in purple. In the clear air, the stars drilled down out of the sky, reminding any thoughtful watcher that it is in the deserts and high places that religions are generated. When men see nothing but bottomless infinity over their heads they have always had a driving and desperate urge to find someone to put in the way.
Terry Pratchett
More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.
Hypocrites in the Church? Yes, and in the lodge and at the home. Don't hunt through the Church for a hypocrite. Go home and look in the mirror. Hypocrites? Yes. See that you make the number one less.
Billy Sunday
Some people have lives; some people have music.
John Green
To live is to hurt others, and through others, to hurt oneself. Cruel earth! How can we manage not to touch anything? To find what ultimate exile?
I'm the person who wouldn't send back my food even if I got steak when I'd ordered fish.
Anna Kendrick
For the canons of good society are, or should be, the same as the canons of art. Form is absolutely essential to it.
Oscar Wilde
Children will still die unjustly even in a perfect society. Even by his greatest effort, man can only propose to diminish, arithmetically, the sufferings of the world.
Truth is like a vast tree which yields more and more fruit the more you nurture it. The deeper the search in the mind of truth, the richer the discovery of the gems buried there.
Mahatma Gandhi
The innocent is the person who explains nothing.
You know Americans are obsessed with life and death and rebirth, that's the American Cycle. You know, awakening, tragic, horrible death and then Phoenix rising from the ashes. That's the American story, again and again.
Billy Corgan
Accept life, take it as it is? Stupid. The means of doing otherwise? Far from our having to take it, it is life that possesses us and on occasion shuts our mouths.
Life meanwhile, the actual life of men with their real interests of health and sickness, labour and rest, with their interests of thought, science, poetry, music, love, affection, hatred, passion, went its way, as always, independently, apart from the political amity or enmity of Napoleon Bonaparte, and apart from all possible reforms.
Leo Tolstoy
Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher
I was always trying to make up for my size, to compensate. So to get people to take you seriously, you have to come at things with a great deal of strength. You have to emphasize that the way you are is unusual. That you don't come along every day.
Linda Hunt
If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
Virginia Woolf
Don't be afraid to give up the good for the great.
Kenny Rogers
If, after all, men cannot always make history have meaning, they can always act so that their own lives have one.
When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.
Mark Twain
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Next to a circus there ain't nothing that packs up and tears out faster than the Christmas spirit.
Kin Hubbard
Real nobility is based on scorn, courage, and profound indifference.
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
Phyllis Diller
The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.
One thing governors feel, Democrats and Republicans alike, is that we have a health care system that, if you're on Medicaid, you have unlimited access to health care, at unlimited levels, at no cost. No wonder it's running away.
Mike Huckabee
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
We have to be able to grow up. Our wrinkles are our medals of the passage of life. They are what we have been through and who we want to be.
Lauren Hutton
It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it --just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
One night I came home very late. It was the next night.
Steven Wright
Every age develops its own peculiar forms of pathology, which express in exaggerated form its underlying character structure.
