Wisdom I know is social. She seeks her fellows. But Beauty is jealous, and illy bears the presence of a rival.

If you start in the pit of despair with these profane, awful things, even a glimmer of hope or awareness is going to occur that's much brighter coming from this dark, awful beginning.

Chuck Palahniuk

I would like you to understand completely, also emotionally, that I'm a political detainee and will be a political prisoner, that I have nothing now or in the future to be ashamed of in this situation. That, at bottom, I myself have in a certain sense asked for this detention and this sentence, because I've always refused to change my opinion, for which I would be willing to give my life and not just remain in prison. That therefore I can only be tranquil and content with myself.

Antonio Gramsci

Veronica Roth

When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and true maxim that 'a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.' So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the great highroad to his reason, and which, once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing him of the justice of your cause, if indeed that cause is really a good one.

Abraham Lincoln

Joy is to fun what the deep sea is to a puddle. It's a feeling inside that can hardly be contained.

Terry Pratchett

I'm famous for being nicer to my fans than anyone on the face of the Earth because I figure a) They pay my salary, and b) It's probably like a big moment in your life to meet somebody so I would say, just come on up.

James Woods

Gerald: I suppose society is wonderfully delightful? Lord Illingworth: To be in it is merely a bore. But to be out of it simply a tragedy.

Oscar Wilde

I knew then that I hadn't stopped believing in God. I'd just stopped believing Gad cared. There might be a God, and there might not, but I don't think it matters. Either way, we're on our own.

Cassandra Clare

Like everything in life, it is not what happens to you but how you respond to it that counts.

Steve Backley

I just want to show the fans my big smile and play the game that I love.

Yani Tseng

At least three times every day take a moment and ask yourself what is really important. Have the wisdom and the courage to build your life around your answer.
