Beauty comes from a life well lived. If you've lived well, your smile lines are in the right places, and your frown lines aren't too bad, what more do you need?

Grief is hard on friendships, but it doesn't have to be. Sometimes, all it takes is a little honesty between friends. If we gently and lovingly explain what we need from the relationship during our time of grief, and what we are willing to do in return, we can turn even a lukewarm friendship into something special.

Margaret Brownley

I think there's a supreme power behind the whole thing, an intelligence. Look at all of the instincts of nature, both animals and plants, the very ingenious ways they survive. If you cut yourself, you don't have to think about it.

Clyde Tombaugh

We have our Arts so we won't die of Truth

Ray Bradbury

Art is always criticized and always an outsider gets the blame.

Ville Valo

To say that authority, whether secular or religious, supplies no ground for morality is not to deny the obvious fact that it supplies a sanction.

Sir Alfred Jules Ayer

Don't let the muggles get you down.

J.K. Rowling

Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn.

Thomas Gray

No matter how often you are defeated, you are born to victory.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Perhaps it is of more value to infuriate philosophers than to go along with them.

Wallace Stevens

To have come on all this new world of writing, with time to read in a city like Paris where there was a way of living well and working, no matter how poor you were, was like having a great treasure given to you. You could take your treasure with you when you traveled too, and in the mountains where we lived in Switzerland and Italy, until we found Schruns in the high valley in the Vorarlberg in Austria, there were always the books, so that you lived in the new world you had found, the snow and the forests and the glaciers and their winter problems and your high shelter in the Hotel Taube in the village in the day time, and at night you could live in the other wonderful world the Russian writers were giving you.

Ernest Hemingway

I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.

Yancy Butler

If you kill enough of them, they stop fighting.

Curtis LeMay
