This was not a fearie tale. This was not the movies. This was life. It hurt more. It was excruciating. It was excruciatingly beautiful.
Francesca Lia Block
Give into love or live in fear.
Jonathan Larson
Truth is great and its effectiveness endures.
Ptahhotep
I believe home is where the heart can be open and loving with a sense of security. It must not be a place of fear.
Marilyn Barnicke Belleghem
The best relationships in our lives are the best not because they have been the happiest ones, they are that way because they have stayed strong through the most tormentful of storms.
Pandora Poikilos
Try, reach, want, and you may fall. But even if you do, you might be okay anyway. If you don't try, you save nothing, because you might as well be dead.

The three-toed sloth lives a peaceful, vegetarian life in perfect harmony with its environment. A good-natured smile is forever on its lips...I have seen that smile with my own eyes. I am not one given to projecting human traits and emotions onto animals, but many a time during that month in Brazil, looking up at a sloth in repose, I felt I was in the presence of upside-down yogis deep in meditation or hermits deep in prayer, wise beings whose intense imaginative lives were beyond the reach of scientific probing.
Yann Martel
Life didn't explode in the sunshine and pretty places. Life took the strongest root with a little bit of rain and with a whole lot of shit for fertilizer. Although love could grow in times of peace, it tempered in battle.
Karen Marie Moning

As someone who grew up in the Bronx, I certainly learned my share of four-letter words, but none are more powerful than nice.
Linda Kaplan Thaler
It's not about how to achieve your dreams, it's about how to lead your life, ... If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, the dreams will come to you.
Randy Pausch
Visit not miracle-mongers and those who exhibit occult powers. These men are stragglers from the path of Truth. Their minds have become entangled in psychic powers, which are like veritable meshes in the way of the pilgrim to Brahman. Beware of these powers, and desire them not.
Ramakrishna
If I am not mistaken, psychology, psychiatry and some branches of sociology, not to speak about the so-called philosophy of history, are even more affected by what I have called the scientistic prejudice, and by specious claims of what science can achieve.
Friedrich Hayek
Yearning is not only a good way to go crazy but also a pretty good place to hide out from hard truth.

It is a sort of great Victorian truth that actually, trying to do the right thing is pretty good for you and pretty good for business as well, by and large.
Chris Patten
I receive Thee ransom of my soul. For love of Thee have I studied and kept vigil toiled preached and taught
St. Thomas Aquinas
Do not act as if you had ten thousand years to throw away. Death stands at your elbow. Be good for something while you live and it is in your power.
Marcus Aurelius
I was totally clueless about social interaction, and completely scared of girls. All I knew was that music was going to make girls fall in love with me.
Rob Sheffield
Magic's just science that we don't understand yet.
Arthur C. Clarke
I'd love to play a rock star in a movie, but for now, I'm not performing in public.

The philosophy of the school was quite simple - the bright boys specialised in Latin, the not so bright in science and the rest managed with geography or the like.
Aaron Klug
Modern civilisation is complicated and artificial. Simple folk live in a world of love and peace. Let no one hate another or harm another.

George Henry Lewes
The characters can't be wittier than people are in real life. They have to be character witty.

Charles Bukowski
Immer wieder behauptete Unwahrheiten werden nicht zu Wahrheiten, sondern, was schlimmer ist, zu Gewohnheiten.
