I have beheld no day since the commencement of hostilities that I have thought her liberties in such eminent danger as at present. Friends and foes seem now to combine to pull down the goodly fabric as we have hitherto been raising at the expence of so much time, blood, and treasure; and unless the bodies politick will exert themselves to bring things back to first principles, correct abuses, and punish our internal foes, inevitable ruin must follow.

In our work and in our living, we must recognize that difference is a reason for celebration and growth, rather than a reason for destruction.

Audre Lorde

I feel quite sad for the young musicians coming up because they may never get to pay their rent properly. It doesn't matter what the genre nowadays, it's so much harder than it ever was.

Bryan Adams

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams who looks inside, awakes.

Carl Jung

When the gratitude of many to one throws away all shame, we behold fame.

Friedrich Nietzsche

She had never imagined she had the power to make someone else so happy. And not a magical power, either--a purely human one.

Cassandra Clare

It was nice to hear the voices of little children at play, provided you took care to be far enough away not to hear what they were actually saying.

Terry Pratchett

In this world of change naught which comes stays and naught which goes is lost.

Madame Swetchine

Marriage is good for those who are afraid to sleep alone at night.

St. Jerome

My compulsion to always be working has become less strong and my current business is purely down to this enormous alimony. If I wasn't doing this I'd be making documentaries about wildlife and other subjects that interest me.

John Cleese

North Americans as a whole need to embrace having clothes altered to their body. I hear it all the time: why do the Europeans always look so good? They have a relationship with their tailor and spend the time and money to make their clothes look their best.

Michael Kors

I am afraid the Spanish American has not always a very strict regard for truth.

Edward Burnett Tylor

When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld
