Accidents happen, whether they're car accidents, friendly fire, drug overdoses. Accidents happen, and they're tragic. It's like a bomb that goes off and pieces of shrapnel rip into the flesh of the family. It's the families that need the compassion, because everywhere they walk, every day, someone reminds them of their loss.

American Idol' is a 00 million-a-year corporation. When you are dealing with that, you can't come off with lies - it's either the truth or nothing.

Growing up happens when you start having things you look back on and wish you could change -Clary Fray

Cassandra Clare

I like to play with architecture! It's my favorite game.

Jean Nouvel

Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount.

B. F. Skinner

Everything has a spirit and it's all connected. If you think about that, if you live your life by it, then you're less likely to cause any hurt. It's like how our bodies go back into the ground when we die, so that connects us to the earth. If you dump trash, you're dumping it on your and my ancestors. Or to bring it down to its simplest level: treat everything and everybody the way you want to be treated, because when you hurt someone, you're only hurting yourself.

Charles de Lint

There are two things to be considered with regard to any scheme. In the first place, Is it good in itself? In the second, Can it be easily put into practice?

Jean Jacques Rousseau

We may sooner be brought to love them that hate us, than them that love us more than we would have them do.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The way to activate the seeds of your creation is by making choices about the results you want to create. When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped. All too often people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore their choices are ineffective. If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.

Robert Fritz

Home wasn't built in a day.

Jane Sherwood Ace

The act of birth is the first experience of anxiety, and thus the source and prototype of the affect of anxiety.

Sigmund Freud

The eyes indicate the antiquity of the soul.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
