You can't get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you're doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself.

More look up and admire the stars. A champion climbs a mountain and grabs one.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge, others just gargle.

Robert Anthony

It is quite true what Philosophy says: that Life must be understood backwards. But that makes one forget the other saying: that it must be lived --forwards. The more one ponders this, the more it comes to mean that life in the temporal existence never becomes quite intelligible, precisely because at no moment can I find complete quiet to take the backward-looking position.

Soren Kierkegaard

I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.

Norah Jones

Your poor heart, in which God put appreciation for everlastingness, will not take electronic gadgets in lieu of eternal life. Something inside of you is too big for that, too terrible, too wonderful. God has set everlastingness in your heart. All the things of this world are here for but a moment and then are gone. None can satisfy the longing for that eternal ragging in the soul of every man.

A.W. Tozer

I spend a good portion of my dinner-party conversation defending America because no matter what the political agenda, it's still a fantastic, amazing place.

After your death you will be what you were before your birth.

Arthur Schopenhauer

If my kids are doing well, then my life is going pretty well. And if my kids aren't doing well, it doesn't matter how the other elements of my life are. It's kind of amazing to have a context like that. This is really wonderful.

Ethan Hawke

Welcome to the Information Jungle.

Tad Williams

I don't have perfect teeth, I'm not stick thin. I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that she loves it and doesn't want to change anything.

Emma Watson

A darkened theater. Final whispers. Black. The projector streams through. The picture surrounds. I fall away. You reach me.

Jolene Stockman

What is called an acute knowledge of human nature is mostly nothing but the observer's own weaknesses reflected back from others.

Georg C. Lichtenberg
