And if life be, as it surely is, a problem to me, I am no less a problem to life.
Oscar Wilde
In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment and will never be more divine in the lapse of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.
Henry David Thoreau
It's like, if you can't focus on a movie for 90 minutes without looking at your phone, then don't go to the movies!

The 19thc hatred of Realism is Caliban's enraged reaction to seeing his own face in the mirror. The 19thc rejection of Romanticism is Caliban's fury at not seeing his face reflected in the mirror.
My facts shall be falsehoods to the common sense. I would so state facts that they shall be significant, shall be myths or mythologies. Facts which the mind perceived, thoughts which the body thought -- with these I deal.

I don't go long without eating. I never starve myself: I grab a healthy snack.
Vanessa Hudgens
Secure our borders first. Let us know and let us make sure the American people know that we're taking care of the important business of dealing with the illegal immigration into this country. You cannot begin to address the concerns of the people who are already here unless and until you have made certain that no more are coming in behind them.
Michael Steele
Lonesome. Lonesome. I know what it means. Here all by my lonesome, dreaming empty dreams. Weary. Weary at the close of day, wondering if tomorrow brings me joy or sorrow.
Leon Redbone

Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is much easier to become a father than to be one.
Kent Nerburn
Do you think it's possible for an entire nation to be insane?
Terry Pratchett
We can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world....No doubt pain as God's megaphone is a terrible instrument; it may lead to final and unrepented rebellion. But it gives the only opportunity the bad man can have for amendment. it removes the veil; it plants the flag of truth within the fortress of the rebel soul.
C.S. Lewis
We must substitute courage for caution.
Martin Luther King Jr.

Barry White
Traveling makes men wiser, but less happy
Thomas Jefferson
The art and culture that is New York, communications, finance, all these things help make up New York. The rest of the country should be happy that we are what we are.
David Dinkins
If you didn't remember something happening, was it because it never had happened? Or because you wished it hadn't?
Jodi Picoult
You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.
Steve Maraboli
I cry, sometimes, because I'm not 20 years younger, and I'm not healthy. But if I were, I would even sacrifice my writing to enter politics.
Oriana Fallaci
Facing the difficulties, I can choose either to be a poor victim or a great adventurer.
Paulo Coelho
Now, I say to you today my friends, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of
Your body actually reminds you about your age and your injuries - the body has a stronger memory than your mind.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
No one can learn to love by following a manual, and no one can learn to write by following a course. I'm not telling you to seek out other writers but to find people with different skills from yourself, because writing is no different from any other activity done with joy and enthusiasm.
If you call an electric eel a rubber duckie, it doesn't make it a rubber duckie and God help the poor bastard who has a bath with the duckie.
Cassandra Clare
I am never at my best in the early morning, especially a cold morning in the Yorkshire spring with a piercing March wind sweeping down from the fells, finding its way inside my clothing, nipping at my nose and ears.
James Herriot
Those speak foolishly who ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to tribulation. Tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that they are impatient. So everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart is constituted.
A man is educated and turned out to work. But a woman is educated and turned out to grass.
Pearl S. Buck
