Anything that you learn becomes your wealth, a wealth that cannot be taken away from you; whether you learn it in a building called school or in the school of life. To learn something new is a timeless pleasure and a valuable treasure. And not all things that you learn are taught to you, but many things that you learn you realize you have taught yourself.

The intelligence of the lower forms of animal life, like a great deal of human intelligence, does not involve a self.

I got started when I was 3 years old because my father was a music teacher and my lessons were free. Instead of learning to walk, you learn to play the piano.

As the beautiful does not exist for the artist and poet alone though these can find in it more poignant depths of meaning than other men so the world of Reality exists for all; and all may participate in it, unite with it, according to their measure and to the strength and purity of their desire.

Evelyn Underhill

Being brilliant is no great feat if you respect nothing.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

People seldom become famous for what they say until after they are famous for what they've done.

An earned compliment costs nothing, but its returns are immeasurable. Very humanly, when we are complimented, when our efforts are appreciated, most of us will usually strive to perform even better down the line. What a return on the investment of delivering a few earned words of praise!

G. Kingsley Ward

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.

Aesop

I saw 'Captain America' in 3D. It's cool. I liked the beginning. It's a really good setup.

Theo James

What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

Feeling a little blue in January is normal.

Marilu Henner

I used to design for my body, which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts.

Betsey Johnson

The role of the writer is not simply to arrange Being according to his own lights; he must also serve as a medium to Being and remain open to its often unfathomable dictates. This is the only way the work can transcend its creator and radiate its meaning.
