Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others.
I never saw any of my dad's stories. My mother said he had piles and piles of manuscripts.
Stephen King
I think it's been hard for people to understand how Islam can be a good religion, and yet the Islamists are evil. Those of us who have had experience with Islam understand this, just as we understand the difference between snake handlers and people going to church on Sunday morning.
P. J. O'Rourke
There is an abundance of power to be found in simplicity.
Steve Maraboli
I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.
Lord Byron
My dad always said, 'Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.'
Joe Biden
Denial exists because human infants, though equipped with trust-o-meters, are built to trust, blindly and absolutely, any older person who wanders past.
Martha Beck
Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem or saying a prayer.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We experience ourselves our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Albert Einstein
A gun can be dangerous. But a gun can protect you, you can hunt for food with it - you know, the tool itself is a tool. The intention of the party using the tool is a part of the process, right? You know: the knife cuts the steak, stabs the person, saves somebody from danger, cuts somebody out of a car.
Peter Guber
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.
Ernest Hemingway
You know, the reward for 'Captain America' is amazing. It's always fun to see a giant spectacle film and see the fun stuff - the special effects.
Chris Evans
People who try to force circumstances become their slaves.
Leo Tolstoy
Well I guess the plan was to write poetry and publish books and make a living from writing poetry. That was a pretty ambitious plan I guess.
Robert Adamson
You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say
Martin Luther King Jr.
We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others.
Will Rogers
Death to me means nothing as long as I can die fast.
Bob Dylan
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
Oscar Wilde
I don't need to hang out in a posse and try to act cool.
Jeremy London
I believe that if one man were to live out his life fully and completely, were to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream - I believe that the world would gain such a fresh impulse of joy that we would forget all the maladies of medievalism, and return to the Hellenic ideal - to something finer, richer, than the Hellenic ideal, it may be. But the bravest man amongst us is afraid of himself. The mutilation of the savage has its tragic survival in the self-denial that mars our lives. We are punished for our refusals.
Men are superior to women, for one thing they can urinate from a speeding car.
Will Durst
The person who sends out positive thoughts activates the world around him positively and draws back to himself positive results.
Norman Vincent Peale
It was necessary that millions of men in whose hands lay the real power -- the soldiers who fired, or transported provisions and guns -- should consent to carry out the will of these weak individuals...
But I have been in some very beautiful churches, then I've looked outside and seen people starving to death.
Don Van Vliet
Understanding can overcome any situation, however mysterious or insurmountable it may appear to be.
The beauty of independence, departure, actions that rely on themselves.
Walt Whitman
Now the reason the enlightened prince and the wise general conquer the enemy whenever they move and their achievements surpass those of ordinary men is foreknowledge.
Sun Tzu
I also meet with city officials, representatives from governors' offices, really anyone in that sort of position who has shown an interest in youth fitness, to let them know why this sort of program is so important. I give the same message when I speak at conferences.
Rafer Johnson
It is a mistake to think that there are times when you can safely address a person without love.
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands.
Plato
It is a fact that you project what you are.
Always! That is a dreadful word. It makes me shudder when I hear it. Women are so fond of using it. They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever. It is a meaningless word, too. The only difference between a caprice and a life-long passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.
Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
Franz Kafka
It was the full conviction of this, and of what could be done, if every man were placed in the office for which he was fitted by nature and a proper education, which first suggested to me the plan of Illumination.
Adam Weishaupt
When every physical and mental resources is focused, one's power to solve a problem multiplies tremendously.
We went with the St. Lawrence Experience, which is run by Joe Babbitt, who is a close friend now. We went out there for 10 days and we had the best week of our lives, and we've been going back since. We've been back three times now.
Tom Felton
We live in a web of ideas, a fabric of our own making.

A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
