Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it forms a nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfillment.
Sit down every day and DO IT. Writing is a self-taught craft; the more you work at it, the more skilled you become. And when you're not writing, READ.
Lois Duncan
The powerful men in my life have always believed in me: my husband, my son.
Judy Collins
There is some fiction, in all fact; and some fact, in all fiction.
T. Scott McLeod
...I looked in the window, wanting to stay - it rained, yet I remained...because you were so lovely...
John Geddes
If there is no door to your dream, create one.
E'yen A. Gardner
Human history is a Gaian dream.
Terence McKenna
It was all very well, the alethiometer telling her to be truthful, but she knew what would happen if she told the whole truth. She had to tread carefully and just avoid direct lies.
Philip Pullman
We're all made the same but then born to change. Which then don't make us the same.
Jonathan Anthony Burkett
... all his strength gathered in his hips and chest and his arms wrapped around me and his breath jabbed soft and hot in my ear and a note of tenderness was there at the end like a lovely curlicue and I liked him because there was no disguising the honest male gladness that went from his body out to mine.
Glen Duncan
Beauty could be defined simply as 'that which pleases.' But there is another aspect to art, and that... is the sublime. Like the mushroom cloud of the atom bomb, or the vastness of space as projected to us by satellite... the greatness of the experience goes beyond your ethical and aesthetic judgment, cutting you free from the binding ego of yourself. With the diminishment of your ego, the less there is of you, the more you see the sublime.
Jen Wang
Beauty is momentary in the mind / The fitful tracing of a portal; / But in the flesh it is immortal. / The body dies; the body's beauty lives.
Wallace Stevens
The Bible is a book of Science. Secular Humanism is a religion of mythology.
Michael J. Findley
The particular thing about science is to combine that with a retreat from the world. Other people want to obtain power by going out into the world, but the scientist really wants to obtain power by retreating from the world.
Max Delbruck
There are many great truths which we do not deny, and which nevertheless we do not fully believe
Joshua Willis Alexander
Everything we care about lies somewhere in the middle, where pattern and randomness interlace.
James Gleick
Poetry; a criticism of life under the conditions fixed for such a criticism by the laws of poetic truth and poetic beauty.
Matthew Arnold
Whatever a woman's reason may say, her feelings tell her the truth.
Stefan Zweig
Truth has been relegated to subjectivity; beauty has been subjugated to the beholder; and as millions are idiotized night after night, a global commune has been constructed with the arts enjoying a totalitarian rule.
Ravi Zacharias
I'm living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay.
Portia de Rossi
It gets worse and worse. I love it, but I have no life. People grab me and kiss me. I like that, but it can be overwhelming.
Tarkan
All changed, changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born.
William Butler Yeats
Trust your passion, identify your dreams, and find the courage to share them with others, no matter how many times they call you a fool.
Bill Strickland
In choosing a mate, don't pick the tallest and most handsome or the most beautiful. Don't choose one just because that person raises your physical passions. Look for the person who is good from within, the one with substance and worth.
Helen Quist Milligan
I read once that sorrow looks back, worry looks around, and faith looks ahead.
Sandra Steffen
Life is painful and messed up. It gets complicated at the worst of times, and sometimes you have no idea where to go or what to do. Lots of times people just let themselves get lost, dropping into a wide open, huge abyss. But that's why we have to keep trying. We have to push through all that hurts us, work past all our memories that are haunting us. Sometimes the things that hurt us are the things that make us strongest. A life without experience, in my opinion, is no life at all. And that's why I tell everyone that, even when it hurts, never stop yourself from living.
Alysha Speer
The kind of truth that can be asserted by argument had lost all glamour, all lustre, for him, seeming no more now than another aspect of that ancient urge - much older than the desire for truth - to command attention, dominate one's fellows.
Barry Unsworth
My Saviour! fill up the blurred and blotted sketch which my clumsy hand has drawn of a Divine life, with the fullness of Thy perfect picture. I feel the beauty I cannot realize; robe me in Thine unutterable purity.
Frederick William Robertson
I really know right from wrong and apply that to my life. At home, I was the oldest of three. My role was to be the responsible one.
Elisha Cuthbert
There were sins whose fascination was more in the memory than in the doing of them, strange triumphs that gratified the pride more than the passions, and gave to the intellect a quickened sense of joy, greater than any joy they brought, or could ever bring, to the senses.
Oscar Wilde
Ye golden hours of Life's young spring, Of innocence, of love and truth! Bright, beyond all imagining, Thou fairy-dream of youth! I'd give all wealth that years have piled, The slow result of Life's decay, To be once more a little child For one bright summer-day.
Lewis Carroll
Being precedes Truth, and... Truth precedes the Good.
Josef Pieper
Our crime against criminals lies in the fact that we treat them like rascals.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes two people have to fall apart, to realize how much they need to fall back together.
Colleen Hoover
I really understand what that process is all about and how important it is, especially with young folk and creative folk that love looking for some platform that makes it easier for them to express themselves.
Mick Fleetwood
No radiant pearl which crested Fortune wears, No gem that twinkling hangs from Beauty's ears, Not the bright stars which Night's blue arch adorn, Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn, Shine with such lustre as the tear that flows Down Virtue's manly cheek for others' woes.
Erasmus Darwin
I'm killing time while I wait for life to shower me with meaning and happiness.
Bill Watterson
Nothing gives you confidence like being a member of a small, weirdly specific, hard-to-find demographic.
Mindy Kaling
History repeats, but science reverberates.
Siddhartha Mukherjee
Suffering is the true cement of love
Paul Sabatier
A cheerful temper joined with innocence will make beauty attractive, knowledge delightful and wit good-natured.
Joseph Addison
