Albert Camus
I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.
Jessica Lange
Ideally, I would love to mix singing and acting, but you can only be a pop star for so many years. I mean, at 30 it's a little bit sad, right?
Rachel Stevens
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. O that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that cheek!
Sometimes I feel an obligation to be accessible as a personality, but for me the driving force since the beginning has always been good work, taking risks, trying new things. If the door opens, go through it. Always go forwards.
David Soul
Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected.
William Plomer
In high school, a teacher once suggested that I be a math major in college. I thought, 'Me? You've got to be joking!' I mean, in junior high, I used to come home and cry because I was so afraid of my math homework. Seriously, I was terrified of math.
Danica McKellar
If a father commands a son to commit a crime so terrible that the son can't do it and live with himself, then is it betrayal for the son to disobey his father?
Orson Scott Card
I failed the LSAT. Basically, if I had not failed, I'd have been a lawyer and there would be no Spanx. I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating.
Sara Blakely
When you have mastered fear then you have mastered all.
Stephen Richards
I heard Nirvana, and discovered that songs could be like poetry, but a little bit more refined: you didn't have to have 20 verses to get your point across.
Justin Townes Earle
Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.
Mark Twain
Yes, I, well, when I write, as often as I can, I try to write as if I'm talking to people. It doesn't always work, and one shouldn't always try it, but I try and write as if I am talking, and trying to engage the reader in conversation.
Christopher Hitchens
For a modern woman it is important to be supported and that there is equality in every aspect, and that it's not two halves that make a whole - it's two wholes that make a whole.

Jane Austen
One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one.

All this was new to me. Life takes us by surprise and orders us to move towards the unknown - even when we don't want to and we think we don't need to.
Paulo Coelho
Human history in essence is the history of ideas.
H. G. Wells
Happiness is activity.
Aristotle

Niccolo Machiavelli
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
Martin Luther King Jr.
We were promised sufferings. They were part of the program. We were even told, 'Blessed are they that mourn,' and I accept it. I've got nothing that I hadn't bargained for. Of curse it is different when the thing happens to oneself, not to others, and in reality, not imagination.
C.S. Lewis
Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.
Albert Einstein

And out of darkness came the hands that reach thro' nature, moulding men.
Alfred Tennyson
The almost insoluble task is to let neither the power of others, nor our own powerlessness, stupefy us.
Theodor Adorno
Ah! there is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.
