Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper,That we may record our emptiness.
Our sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of the universe have been shredded into mathematical equations. Even our self-worth as human beings has been destroyed.
Dan Brown
My books are water; those of great geniuses are wine everybody drinks water
Mark Twain
Everyone is naked. Everyone wants to hide. But life is sweet. Let it go on.
Orson Scott Card
Could beauty, my lord, have better commerce than with honesty?
William Shakespeare
He that would pass the latter part of life with honour and decency, must, when he is young, consider that he shall one day be old; and remember, when he is old, that he has once been young.
Samuel Johnson
Free yourself from the complexities of your life! A life of simplicity and happiness awaits you.
Steve Maraboli
There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.
Climate change is real. The science is compelling. And the longer we wait, the harder the problem will be to solve.

The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scripture ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws.
Noah Webster
You are more to me than any of them has any idea; you are the atmosphere of beauty through which I see life; you are the incarnation of all lovely things...I think of you day and night. ~ Letter to Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas
Oscar Wilde
Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind all the descernible laws and connections, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am, in fact, religious.
Albert Einstein
This goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?
I do not wish to kill nor to be killed, but I can foresee circumstances in which these things would be by me unavoidable.
Henry David Thoreau
Your complaints, your drama, your victim mentality, your whining, your blaming, and all of your excuses have NEVER gotten you even a single step closer to your goals or dreams. Let go of your nonsense. Let go of the delusion that you DESERVE better and go EARN it! Today is a new day!
I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking: I could well wish courtesy would invent some other custom of entertainment
You know, I sometimes think we Sort too soon...
J.K. Rowling
When we age we shed many skins: ego, arrognace, dominance, self-opionated, unreliable, pessimism, rudeness, selfish, uncaring ... Wow, it's good to be old!
Stephen Richards
The science you enjoy now is the science we taught you. The medicine you treat yourselves with is the medicine we gave you. It's the same with the astronomy you know, the mathematics, the literature, the art...
Muammar Gaddafi
You'll may not have all the things you'll want in the world, but the true love that you'll have for each other should be enough for you two to be thankful in life still.
Jonathan Anthony Burkett
Still, that's the point of love; you love someone despite their flaws.
Sophie Kinsella
Creativity is a delicious dream from which I never want to awake.
K. Ford K.
While there are many that journey who seek, not all that travel will find, for they are bound by what they have been taught and not of what they know.- The Tapestry of Spirit
Erik Paul Rocklin
I had the strength and the finesse there and put it all together.
Elvis Stojko
But since you're asking me, I'll tell you my opinion: all cornbread is authentic, as long as it's good, hot, and made with love and fresh ingredients.
Jeremy Jackson
If not for music, I would probably be a very frustrated scientist. It's one way to answer the question, 'What is the meaning of life?' I feel music answers it better.
Paula Cole
If you don't physically age gracefully, it's a bit sad. I think Steven Tyler can get away anything, because he still looks like he did in '73. Especially from row Z backwards in an arena. As long as the Stones keep their hair and don't get fat they'll get away with the wrinkles.
Joe Elliott
You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.
I love my work, I love the people I work with, I do the best I can.
Mandy Patinkin
When I do count the clock that tells the time,And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;When I behold the violet past prime,And sable curls all silver'd o'er with white;When lofty trees I see barren of leavesWhich erst from heat did canopy the herd,And summer's green all girded up in sheavesBorne on the bier with white and bristly beard,Then of thy beauty do I question make,That thou among the wastes of time must go,Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsakeAnd die as fast as they see others grow;And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defenceSave breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it.
John Green
They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.
The way to deal with an impossible task was to chop it down into a number of merely very difficult tasks, and break each one of them into a group of horribly hard tasks, and each of them into tricky jobs, and each of them...
Terry Pratchett
The stars don't look bigger, but they do look brighter.
Sally Ride
The science which teacheth arts and handicrafts is merely science for the gaining of a living; but the science which teacheth deliverance from worldly existence, is not that the true science?
Nagarjuna
Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
I don't let it bother me too much if someone doesn't like me. I just figure there's no accounting for taste. It's not me, it's my acting. It's like if someone doesn't like someone's food, they just don't like my acting.
Anna Chlumsky
As though there were a tie And obligation to posterity. We get them, bear them, breed, and nurse: What has posterity done for us. That we, lest they their rights should lose, Should trust our necks to gripe of noose?
John Trumbull
I hope to keep entertaining in some way until I can't physically entertain any longer. It's what I was born to do, and I love this profession.
Bette Midler
You need to be an adrenalin junkie when you travel with kids.
