Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.
Americans are uneasy with their possessions, guilty about power, all of which is difficult for Europeans to perceive because they are themselves so truly materialistic, so versed in the uses of power.
Joan Didion
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Jean Paul
The only excuse for war is that we may live in peace unharmed.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You have to hatch ideas -- and then hitch them.
Ray D. Everson
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
Oprah Winfrey
You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.
Jim Rohn
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Seneca (Seneca the Elder)
Trust not yourself, but your defects to know, make use of every friend and every foe.
Alexander Pope
Never give a man up until he has failed at something he likes.
Lewis E. Lawes
The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: a human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him, a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.
Pearl Buck
Whenever I'm asked what advice I have for young writers, I always say that the first thing is to read, and to read a lot. The second thing is to write. And the third thing, which I think is absolutely vital, is to tell stories and listen closely to the stories you're being told.
John Green
Everybody thinks it's going to be so glamorous, so cool, you're on 'Glee,' you know, a hit show or whatever.
