Men's private self-worlds are rather like our geographical world's seasons, storm, and sun, deserts, oases, mountains and abysses, the endless-seeming plateaus, darkness and light, and always the sowing and the reaping.

Faith Baldwin

Basically, I'm a romantic.

Helen Keller became deaf, dumb, and blind shortly after birth. Despite her greatest misfortune, she has written her name indelibly in the pages of the history of the great. Her entire life has served as evidence that no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as reality.

Napoleon Hill

Some have greatness thrust upon them, but not lately.

Frank Dane

One's real life is so often the life that one does not lead.

Oscar Wilde

In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

Venus Williams

Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.

Princess of Wales Diana

Life can't defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death.

Edna Ferber

Miuccia Prada

There is something sinister, something quite biographical about what I do - but that part is for me. It's my personal business. I think there is a lot of romance, melancholy. There's a sadness to it, but there's romance in sadness. I suppose I am a very melancholy person.

Alexander McQueen

Great men are true men, the men in whom nature has succeeded. They are not extraordinary -- they are in the true order. It is the other species of men who are not what they ought to be.
