Preston, I don't think this creature could ever find its way into your head. Quite apart from anything else, it seems pretty crowded and complicated to me.
The fact is that child rearing is a long, hard job, the rewards are not always immediately obvious, the work is undervalued, and parents are just as human and almost as vulnerable as their children.
Benjamin Spock, Dr. Spock's Baby
By the time we've made it, we've had it.
Malcolm Forbes
There are only two things a child will share willingly; communicable diseases and its mother's age.
Benjamin Spock
All my band members were old enough to be my dad. It was like this family vibe.
Hunter Hayes
Plato says that the unexamined life is not worth living. But what if the examined life turns out to be a clunker as well?
Kurt Vonnegut
Trust yourself, you know more than you think you do.
The U.S. uses most of its oil for transportation. We can limit U.S. demand for oil by requiring automakers to use the technology that already exists to improve fuel economy - technology that the automakers refuse to bring into the market despite societal demand.
Sherwood Boehlert
I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety, and fear.
Steve Maraboli
The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time but using every hour for the highest ends. So be it this day.
C. H. (Charles Haddon) Spurgeon,
Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.
Josef Stalin, (attributed)
The reading of a poem should be an experience. Its writing must be all the more so.
Wallace Stevens, Adagia
I had never said, 'dad, I love you.'
Michael Reagan
Never let yourself be diverted, either by what you wish to believe, or what you think could have beneficent social effects if it were believed; but look only and solely at what are the facts.
Bertrand Russell
Poetry is the statement of a relation between a man and the world.
As it is necessary not to invite robbery by supineness, so it is our duty not to suppress tenderness by suspicion; it is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.
Samuel Johnson
Perhaps there is a degree of perception at which what is real and what is imagines are one: a state of clairvoyant observation, accessible or possibly accessible to the poet or, say, the acutest poet.
If you could stop the suffering and dying, and didn't stop it, then you are guilty. It is your fault. We kill no one. We do not let them kill us. We have nothing to do with them.
Orson Scott Card
To err is human. To blame someone else is politics.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Do not wait for the last judgement. It takes place every day.
Albert Camus
The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea; And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line. For self is a sea boundless and measureless. Say not, I have found the truth, but rather, I have found a truth.Say not, I have found the path of the soul.Say rather, I have met the soul walking upon my path.For the soul walks upon all paths.The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
Kahlil Gibran
Poetry has to be something more than a conception of the mind. It has to be a revelation of nature. Conceptions are artificial. Perceptions are essential.
Wallace Stevens
Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.
Wallace Stegner, The Spectator B
People believed what they wanted to believe, no matter what was right in front of their eyes.
Jodi Picoult
If education does not create a need for the best in life, then we are stuck in an undemocratic, rigid caste society.
Sargent Shriver
Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.
Edward Steichen
l'homme se trouve devant l'irrationnel. Il sent en lui son désir de bonheur et de raison. L'absurde naît de cette confrontation entre l'appel humain et le silence déraisonnable du monde.
A book is like a man - clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.
John Steinbeck
I would talk in iambic pentameter if it were easier.
Howard Nemerov
Language can only deal meaningfully with a special, restricted segment of reality. The rest, and it is presumably the much larger part, is silence.
George Steiner
If listeners aren't carried away to Heaven, I'm failing.
La Monte Young
Jedi are conversationalists and negotiators, bringing people together and solving problems. Jedi listen and feel to what others are saying.
Stephen Richards
We know that a man can read Goethe or Rilke in the evening, that he can play Bach and Schubert, and go to his day's work at Auschwitz in the morning.
The Bible must be considered as the great source of all the truth by which men are to be guided in government as well as in all social transactions.
Noah Webster
A novel is a mirror carried along a high road. At one moment it reflects to your vision the azure skies at another the mire of the puddles at your feet. And the man who carries this mirror in his pack will be accused by you of being immoral! His mirror shews the mire, and you blame the mirror! Rather blame that high road upon which the puddle lies, still more the inspector of roads who allows the water to gather and the puddle to form.
Stendhal (MarieHenri Beyle), Le
Well, darkness with humor... I'm not an extremely suicidal or sad person.
Peter Steele
I AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.
In every part and corner of our life, to lose oneself is to be a gainer; to forget oneself is to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson, Old Mort
Here he lies where he longed to be;Home is the sailor, home from sea,and the hunter home from the hill.
Robert Louis Stevenson, Requiem,
The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson, (attribu
We talk a great deal about patriotism. What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility which will enable America to remain master of her power
Adlai Stevenson, Speech to the A
