Lewis Carroll

James Russell Lowell

Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You cannot get there by bus, only by hard work, risking and by not quite knowing what you are doing. What you will discover will be wonderful; yourself.

Alan Alda

Gro Harlem Brundtland

Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.

Karl Marx

If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capitol Records also.

Metaphors are dangerous. Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory.

Milan Kundera
