The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
But then peace, peace! I am so mistrustful of it: so much afraid that it means a sort of weakness and giving in.
D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence,
Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book.
Victor Hugo
But just playing the partner of someone famous, I had a lot more freedom.
Rachel Griffiths

A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes but to get into accord with them: they are legitimately what directs his conduct in the world.
Sigmund Freud
It is by no means certain that our individual personality is the single inhabitant of these our corporeal frames... We all do things both awake and asleep which surprise us. Perhaps we have cotenants in this house we live in.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, The Guard
Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.
William Butler Yeats
Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.
Thomas a Kempis
I have always said that if I were a rich man I would employ a profesional praiser.
Osbert Sitwell, Wisdom
It's being willing to walk away that gives you strength and power - if you're willing to accept the consequences of doing what you want to do.
Whoopi Goldberg
He who does without the praise of the crowd will not deny himself an opportunity to be his own adherent.

If I had children, I would be very selfish. I wouldn't be out doing things. But by not having kids, it makes me freer to travel the world and talk about things I feel are important.

Donald Knuth
All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough.
Angelina Jolie
A good photograph is knowing where to stand.
Ansel Adams
I think it's particularly a distinctively American concept that resonates with American culture through biker culture. A motorcycle is an independent thing. You're like, 'I don't want to ride in a car with this person. I want to be independent and ride by myself. But, let's ride in a group. Let's be independent, together.'
Ryan Hurst
I came home after a year and although my profession was only hairdressing, I knew I could change it.

Francis Bacon
Your opinion is not my reality.
Steve Maraboli
And when I was young, my family was perfectly nice. I write a lot about it, as you noticed. But it was rather limited. I think, I don't think anyone in my family would really feel I'd done them an injustice by saying that. We didn't see many people. There were many books. It was as if I wanted to get away from home.
Christopher Hitchens
I am one of those scientists who feels that it is no longer enough just to get on and do science. We have to devote a significant proportion of our time and resources to defending it from deliberate attack from organised ignorance.
Richard Dawkins
I have many times asked myself whether there can be more potent advocates of peace upon earth through the years to come than this massed multitude of silent witnesses to the desolation of war.
King George V
Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
Aristotle
I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.

All the best have something in common, a regard for reality, an agreement to its primacy over the imagination.

James Madison
Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.
Paulo Coelho
Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence he is just using his memory.
Leonardo da Vinci
I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.
Dolly Parton
What Is Love? I have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul
Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.
