Better to be driven out from among men than to be disliked of children.

Become aware of internal, subjective, sub-verbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction, of conversation, of naming, etc. with the consequence that it immediately becomes possible for a certain amount of control to be exerted over these hitherto unconscious and uncontrollable processes.

Abraham Maslow

Falling into true love, is not taking a rope to climb out

Benny Bellamacina

I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force it on the world at large - especially this world, so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men.

Julianna Baggott

We who have lived before railways were made belong to another world. It was only yesterday, but what a gulf between now and then! Then was the old world. Stage-coaches, more or less swift, riding-horses, pack-horses, highwaymen, knights in armor, Norman invaders, Roman legions, Druids, Ancient Britons painted blue, and so forth -- all these belong to the old period. But your railroad starts the new era, and we of a certain age belong to the new time and the old one. We who lived before railways, and survive out of the ancient world, are like Father Noah and his family out of the Ark.

William Makepeace Thackeray

To win without risk is to triumph without glory.

Pierre Corneille

I had a friend who was a clown. When he died, all his friends went to the funeral in one car.

Steven Wright

Power is not an institution, and not a structure neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.

Michel Foucault

When I was about eight, I decided that the most wonderful thing, next to a human being, was a book.

Margaret Walker

I'm living life as best I can - but I'm not exempt from failure and making bad choices.

LeAnn Rimes

Poverty is often concealed in splendor, and often in extravagance. It is the task of many people to conceal their neediness from others. Consequently they support themselves by temporary means, and everyday is lost in contriving for tomorrow.

Samuel Johnson

The principle of the Gothic architecture is infinity made imaginable.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

As fast as each opportunity presents itself, use it! No matter how tiny an opportunity it may be, use it!
