Eros, again now, the loosener of limbs troubles me,Bittersweet, sly, uncontrollable creature.

Sappho

I can see the humorous side of things and enjoy the fun when it comes; but look where I will, there seems to me always more sadness than joy in life.

Jerome K. Jerome

Myth does not set out to give lessons in natural science any more than in morals or sociology.

François-Bernard Mâche

I know there are people who don't like their audience or like the experience of being recognized or celebrated, but my audience has been very good - they don't bother me and when they do contact me it's usually on the nicest possible terms.

James Taylor

Beliefs are not related to religion but they are basically about who you are.

Stephen Richards

Our happiness in this world depends on the affections we are able to inspire.

Duchess Prazlin

A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart.

Life is full of change and uncertainty. We know this. We experience it on a daily basis.

Carre Otis

True irreverence is disrespect for another man's god.

Mark Twain

Music, as many people have said, is the universal language. Of course points are made which make you think about things, but ultimately it makes you feel. And that's why people remember more songs that have meant something during their life than films. They start to define periods in your life, and that's kind of the beauty of it.

Scott Weiland

The soul of the just contemplates in sleep a mysterious heaven.

Victor Hugo

Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad, but sober; not to make us sorry, but wise.

H. G. Wells
