To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.

In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.

Mark Twain

Beauty is a harmonious relation between something in our nature and the quality of the object which delights us.

Blaise Pascal

I've also gotten to play in front of a million people in Central Park when there was a grass roots movement calling for nuclear disarmament - it was about 1982 - they called it Peace Sunday.

Jackson Browne

A new idea comes suddenly and in a rather intuitive way. But intuition is nothing but the outcome of earlier intellectual experience.

Albert Einstein

It is one of those stories that you just want to keep going and going - even after the last page has been reached. Kristie Leigh Maguire

Life on board a pleasure steamer violates every moral and physical condition of healthy life except fresh air... It is a guzzling, lounging, gambling, dog's life. The only alternative to excitement is irritability.

George Bernard Shaw

She put her hand in his, and he clasped it firmly, knowing he had been waiting for her all his life.

Barbara Taylor Bradford

When I was almost 13 I was ripe for religion. I was actually just plain ripe.

Kathie Lee Gifford

Love meant jumping off a cliff and trusting that a certain person would be there to catch you at the bottom.

Jodi Picoult

Classic art was the art of necessity: modern romantic art bears the stamp of caprice and chance.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase; you've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.

Bob Dylan

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
