Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

I do not see my family life in any way, shape, or form as an opportunity for a photo.

Shania Twain

I write in longhand on yellow legal pads.

Beverly Cleary

It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words, like 'What about lunch?'

A. A. Milne

The heights by great men reached and kept Were not obtained by sudden flight,But they, while their companions slept,Were toiling upward in the night

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Our dreams are firsthand creations, rather than residues of waking life. We have the capacity for infinite creativity at least while dreaming, we partake of the power of the Spirit, the infinite Godhead that creates the cosmos.

Jackie Gleason

The road to hell is paved with adverbs.

Stephen King

Good buildings come from good people, ad all problems are solved by good design.

Stephen Gardiner

Television is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.

Kaleel Jamison

The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood. His intercourse with heaven and earth, becomes part of his daily food. In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows...

Ralph Waldo Emerson

At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough.

Toni Morrison

There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.
