Bob Dylan has always sealed his decisions with the unexplainable. His motives for withholding the release of the magnificent 'Basement Tapes' will be as forever obscure as Brian Wilson's reasons for the destruction of the tapes for 'Smile.'

Because from now on, for you, I'll be searching for those moments of always within never/Beauty, in this world.

Muriel Barbery

The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.

Mike Murdock

I can see why people find him [Hugo Chávez] charming. He's very ebullient, as they say. I've heard him make a speech, though, and he has a vice that's always very well worth noticing because it's always a bad sign: he doesn't know when to sit down. He's worse than Castro was. He won't shut up. Then he told me that he didn't think the United States landed on the moon and didn't believe in the existence of Osama bin Laden. He thought all of this was all a put-up job. He's a wacko.

Christopher Hitchens

Even when I'm in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do.

Ellie Goulding

Genius begins great works; labor alone finishes them.

Joseph Joubert

The great decisions of human life usually have far more to do with the instincts and other mysterious unconscious factors than with conscious will and well-meaning reasonableness. The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no universal recipe for living. Each of us carries his own life-form within him--an irrational form which no other can outbid.

Carl Gustav Jung, The Aims of Ps

From my first dunk at 14 years old to my second NCAA Championship at the University of Tennessee, my intense training with my dad was always to credit.

Candace Parker

It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.

Andrew Jackson

Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.

Og Mandino

Never underestimate spite as a motivator for genius.

Sam Kean

There is something great and terrible about suicide.

Honore de Balzac

Love is seeing without eyes, hearing without ears; hatred is nothing.

Doug Horton
