You reach a point where you don't work for money.
I'd seen glimpses of a different me. It was a different me because in those increments of time I thought I actually became a winner.The truth, however, is painful.It was a truth that told me with a scratching internal brutality that I was me, and that winning wan't natural for me. It had to be fought for, in the echoes and trodden footprints of my mind. In a way, I had to scavenge for moments of alrightness.
Markus Zusak
A child's hope is that your father comes riding in on that white stallion and saves them. You can't make somebody love you the way you want them to love you, it's not a Leave it to Beaver type world. This isn't television. Life's a lot more cruel than that.
Jake Roberts
...you ask me why I compare you to stars - it's simple - that's where your goddess has fled...
John Geddes
...the wise words of a friend and guide rang in my head. 'How would you distinguish a true servant of God from a traitor?...You should take especial notice of how a person speaks, not of other things, but of God.
Harry Blamires
The human body and mind are tremendous forces that are continually amazing scientists and society. Therefore, we have no choice but to keep an open mind as to what the human being can achieve.
Evelyn Glennie
Many are to believe on Christ through the communication of truth by His servants. As they see the beauty of the Word of God, and as they see Jesus revealed in the lives of His children, they will praise Him with heart and soul and voice.
Ellen G. White
Now that I'm staring down the barrel of the last act of my life, I'm less excited about control and solo effort, and I resent the way the business aspects interfere with my space for creative writing.
David Knopfler
I am alive because you want me to.
Santosh Kalwar
Let us go on committing suicide by working among our people, and let them dream life just as the lake dreams the sky.
Miguel de Unamuno
My silks and fine array, My smiles and languished air, By love are driv'n away; And mournful lean Despair Brings me yew to deck my grave: Such end true lovers have.
William Blake
Radio, newspapers, they were normal parts of my life. In those days, you had to go somewhere to watch television and leave something to see it.
Robert Redford
Art is apotheosis; often, the complaint of beauty.
Dejan Stojanovic
I wanted readers to be genuinely unsure as to whether she's telling the truth or lying. It meant making her partly sympathetic, and partly unsympathetic, which wasn't easy.
Lee Child
Then when Matt had come along it hadn't been fireworks, passion and fights and drama. It had been low- key, sweet, lovely. But that didn't meant it wasn't the real thing. It never had done. Just because it wasn't suprising hadn't meant it wasn't right.
Jenny Colgan
Without love, we are birds with broken wings.
Morrie Schwartz
In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life.
George Best
A woman's love is like the morning dew. It's just as likely to settle on a horse turd as a rose.
Larry McMurtry
I know we're fucked up, alright? I'm impulsive, and hot tempered, and you get under my skin like no one else. You act like you hate me one minute, and then need me the next. I never get anything right, and I don't deserve you...but I fucking love you, Abby. I love you more than I loved anyone or anything ever. When you're around, I don't need booze, or money, or the fighting, or the one-night stands...
Jamie McGuire
I thought how you can never tell just by looking at them what they were thinking or what was happening In their lives. Even when you got daft people or drunk people on buses, people that went on stupid and shouted rubbish or tried to tell you all about themselves, you could never really tell about them either... I knew if somebody looked at me, they'd know nothing about me, either.
David Almond
Among minor alterations, I may mention the substitution for the name political economy of the single convenient term economics. I cannot help thinking that it would be well to discard, as quickly as possible, the old troublesome double-worded name of our science.
William Stanley Jevons
If everyone is a product of this society, who will say the things that need to be said, and do the things that need to be done, without compromise? Truth will never start out popular in a world more concerned with marketability than righteousness. It will initially suffer ridicule and even violence- yet ultimately it is undeniable. All of humanity is living in a dream world, but suffering real consequences.
Lauryn Hill
NATO has been a thread throughout my life.
Madeleine Albright
I love to dance so much. It's one of my guilty pleasures in life and my hobby.
Mia Maestro
A certain recluse, I know not who, once said that no bonds attached him to this life, and the only thing he would regret leaving was the sky.
Yoshida Kenko
Darwin theorized that mankind (both male and female) evolved alongside each other over millions of years, both reproducing after their own kind before the ability to physically have sex evolved. They did this through asexuality (without sexual desire or activity or lacking any apparent sex or sex organs). Each of them split in half: Asexual organisms reproduce by fission (splitting in half).
Ray Comfort
I peek up at his features, at the crooked grin i want to savor, at the color in his eyes i'd use to paint a million pictures.
Tahereh Mafi
It is the mind that speaks a woman's heart, not the vaginal walls.
Mary Roach
Life is the game that must be played, this truth at least, good friends, we know; so live and laugh, nor be dismayed as one by one the phantoms go.
Arthur Rubinstein
As I squatted on the grass at the edge of the woods, the pee felt hot between my legs. I watched in puddle in the dirt, the smell of it rising into the night. There was no difference between my piss and June's. That's what i thought when I looked at the dark circle on the ground. Piss is Piss.
Sue Monk Kidd
In my sex fantasy, nobody ever loves me for my mind.
Nora Ephron
Each mans spills the drink he loves.
Robert Anton Wilson
In this modern day, when only what we see is allowed to have certainity, and when scientific data seems to hold the trump card for truth, when only what can be measured exists, love defies all these strictures and dances joyfully before the eyes of human beings, teasing them with the promise of the unknown.
Shelina Zahra Janmohamed
It's bad taste to be wise all the time, like being at a perpetual funeral
D.H. Lawrence
Fiction is a piece of truth that turns lies to meaning.

True beauty is something that attacks, overpowers, robs, and finally destroys.

My father taught me that you can you read a hundred books on wisdom and write a hundred books on wisdom but unless you apply what you learned then its only words on a page. Life is not lived with intentions but action.
Shannon L. Alder
Sometimes when I see a bad performance and people still clap... I wonder if they're clapping because they liked what they saw or because they're happy it's over?
