The best friend is likely to acquire the best wife, because a good marriage is based on the talent for friendship.

The happiness and misery of men depend no less on temper than fortune.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Blessed are those who have no talent!

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If I pick up a book with spaceships on the cover, I want spaceships. If I see one with dragons, I want there to be dragons inside the book. Proper labeling. Ethical labeling. I don't want to open up my cornflakes and find that they're full of pebbles... You need to respect the reader enough not to call it something it isn't.

Margaret Atwood

Charles Baudelaire

My tastes and inspirational artists were always rather eclectic and diverse.

Taylor Dayne

Interest does not tie nations together it sometimes separates them. But sympathy and understanding does unite them.

All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.
