Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a specialprovidence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now,'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will benow; if it be not now, yet it will come: thereadiness is all.

The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.

Arthur Miller

The light of love flows out of my soul, but it can go nowhere because it's blocked by pain. I could inhale and exhale every morning for the rest of my life, but that wouldn't solve anything.

Paulo Coelho

Even at school I studied ethics instead of religion.

Ville Valo

I see the eight of us with our 'Secret Annexe' as if we were a little piece of blue heaven, surrounded by heavy black rain clouds. The round, clearly defined spot where we stand is still safe, but the clouds gather more closely about us and the circle which separates us from the approaching danger closes more and more tightly. Now we are so surrounded by danger and darkness that we bump against each other, as we search desperately for a means of escape. We all look down below, where people are fighting each other, we look above, where it is quiet and beautiful, and meanwhile we are cut off by the great dark mass, which will not let us go upwards, but which stands before us as an impenetrable wall; it tries to crush us, but cannot do so yet. I can only cry and implore: 'Oh, if only the black circle could recede and open the way for us!'

Anne Frank, The Diary of Anne Fr

To try is all. It matters not if one succeeds or fails outwardly.

Robert Thibodeau

My psychiatrist told me I'm going crazy. I told him...If you don't mind I'd like a second opinion...he said... All right...you're ugly too!

Rodney Dangerfield

Notoriety wasn't as good as fame, but was heaps better than obscurity.

Neil Gaiman

I have two kids, career and I travel, and I don't think my life is any different than most couples. The most valuable commodity now for many people is time and how to parcel that out.

Hugh Jackman

We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

As the yellow gold is tried in fire, so the faith of friendship must be seen in adversity.

Ovid

Because you are a great lord, you believe yourself to be a great genius. You took the trouble to be born, but no more.

Pierre De Beaumarchais
