When angels speak of love they tell us it is only by loving that we enter an earthly paradise. They tell us paradise is our home and love our true destiny.

It takes bravery to recognize where in your life you are your own poison... it takes courage to do something about it.

Steve Maraboli

I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.

P. J. Harvey

Life is fair. We all get the same nine-month shake in the box, and then the dice roll. Some people get a run of sevens. Some people, unfortunately, get snake-eyes. Its just how the world is.

Stephen King

When men take pleasure in feeling their minds elevated with strong drink, and so indulge their appetite as to disorder their understandings, neglect their duty as members of a family or civil society, and cast off all regard to religion, their case is much to be pitied.

John Woolman

Deny thy father refuse thy name, thou art thyself thou not a montegue, what is montegue? tis nor hand nor foot nor any other part belonging to a man What is in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, So Romeo would were he not Romeo called retain such dear perfection to which he owes without that title, Romeo, Doth thy name! And for that name which is no part of thee, take all thyself.

William Shakespeare

Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.

Herodotus

Religion and political expediency go beautifully hand in hand.

Friedrich Durrenmatt

OK, so I'm not famous for the right reasons.

William Hung

So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma.

Christy Turlington

Schooling, instead of encouraging the asking of questions, too often discourages it.

Madeleine L'Engle

Queequeg was a native of Kokovoko, an island far away to the West and South. It is not down in any map; true places never are.

Herman Melville

You can fake your age or mask it, but the passion that moves the characters has to be real.
