To believe in nothing is as ridiculous as to believe in everything. Reason and factual evidence may convert a belief into knowledge.

I love everything that's beautiful. A lot of things.

Ursula Andress

I respect music, I do. I love it.

Youssou N'Dour

I'm excited about there being more of a sisterhood these days. Back in the '90s there was a lot of hate - the women I looked up to as artists were dissing me! It's not so patriarchal these days - there's more love and a lot less hate!

Alanis Morissette

Life has always seemed to me like a plant that lives on its rhizome. Its true life is invisible, hidden in the rhizome. The part that appears above ground lasts only a single summer. What we see is the blossom, which passes. The rhizome remains.

Carl Jung

Friendship's the privilege of private men for wretched greatness knows no blessing so substantial.

Nahum Tate

I often try to tell kids to think about all the people who love you, don't cry over the one person who doesn't.

Bill Cosby

To long for that which comes not. To lie a-bed and sleep not. To serve well and please not. To have a horse that goes not. To have a man obeys not. To lie in jail and hope not. To be sick and recover not. To lose one's way and know not. To wait at door and enter not, and to have a friend we trust not: are ten such spites as hell hath not.

John Florio

The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

Tom Clancy

O Solitude! If I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap of murky buildings

John Keats

Make your lives a masterpiece, you only get one canvas.

E.A. Bucchianeri

It's time to end the cruel slaughter of whales and leave these magnificent creatures alone.

Paul McCartney

Ambition is a Dead Sea fruit, and the greatest peril to the soul is that one is likely to get precisely what he is seeking.

Edward Dahlberg
