Success should always be just beyond your grasp.

Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.

Anne Lamott

[Men] use thought only to justify their wrong-doings, and words only to conceal their thoughts.

Like all of us in this storm between birth and death, I can wreak no great changes on the world, only small changes for the better, I hope, in the lives of those I love.

Dean Koontz

My dad had a church of 90 people when I was born. It was just, over the years it continued to grow.

Joel Osteen

Men think they think upon the great political questions, and they do; but they think with their party, not independently; they read its literature, but not that of the other side

Mark Twain

In all matters of opinion, our adversaries are insane.

Oscar Wilde
