I am beautiful, famous and gorgeous.

Champions keep playing until they get it right.

Billie Jean King

Aldous Huxley

Growing up, sports was my outlet, my way to portray a personality. I was very shy around people but, through sports, something I was good at, I was able to make friends.

Curtis Joseph

Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.

Sydney Smith

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Adrienne Rich

The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten.

Mark Twain, notebook, 1908

Certainly, the mistakes that we male and female mortals make when we have our own way might fairly raise some wonder that we're so fond of it.

George Eliot

One day everything will be well, that is our hope. Everything's fine today, that is our illusion

Voltaire
