Always be like a water. Float in the times of pain or dance like waves along the wind which touches its surface.

I try not to worry about the future - so I take each day just one anxiety attack at a time.

Tom Wilson

Terrorism is a biological consequence of the multinationals, just as a day of fever is the reasonable price of an effective vaccine . . . The conflict is between great powers, not between demons and heroes. Unhappily, therefore, is the nation that finds the heroes underfoot, especially if they still think in religious terms and involve the population in their bloody ascent to an uninhabited paradise.

Umberto Eco, from Travels in Hyp

A critic is a reader who ruminates. Thus, he should have more than one stomach.

Friedrich Von Schlegel

A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmental damaging consumption patterns.

Maurice Strong

A travel book is about someone who goes somewhere, travels on the ground, sees something and spends quite a lot of time doing it, and has a hard time, and then comes back and writes about it. It's not about inventing.

Paul Theroux

she shall scant show well that now shows best.

William Shakespeare

Every Wednesday, my husband and I have a study group with our friends. I attend church. We try to devote time in the morning, say a prayer.

Carrie Underwood

Each of us is incomplete compared to someone else -- an animal's incomplete compared to a person... and a person compared to God, who is complete only to be imaginary.

Georges Bataille

The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading in order to write. A man will turn over half a library to make a book.

Samuel Johnson

Together we will build an America where hope is a new job with a paycheck, not a faded word on an old bumper sticker.

Mitt Romney

I never smile unless I mean it.

Donny Osmond

Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins.
