In my case, I was covering politics in Texas as a newspaper man in the 1960's.

Life was a short window and there was no sense in doing the wrong thing over and over even if it was so difficult to stop.

Anna Godbersen

With careless joy we thread the woodland ways And reach her broad domain. Thro' sense of strength and beauty, free as air. We feel our savage kin, And thus alone with conscious meaning wear The Indian's moccasin!

Elaine Goodale Eastman

You promised to take care of me and not to turn your back on me. How is it possible that you never wrote to me even once and you never came back to see me? Do you think that it is fun for me to spend months, even years, without any news, without any hope!

Camille Claudel

At the time I came along, Hollywood's idea of teen movies meant there had to be a lot of nudity, usually involving boys in pursuit of sex, and pretty gross overall. Either that or a horror movie. And the last thing Hollywood wanted in their teen movies was teenagers!

John Hughes

War is a series of catastrophes which result in victory.

Albert Pike

A light wind swept over the corn, and all nature laughed in the sunshine.

Anne Bronte

For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of a Venus, the brains of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a MaCaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.

Ethel Barrymore

It's amazing what you can get on open source now if you actually use the right search engines to find the material.

Gus O'Donnell

She's not classically beautiful, but somehow that only makes her more interesting.

Jodi Picoult

I hope that just what I sing about and how I relate to my audience is as much of a political statement as I need to make.

Dave Matthews

It is obvious that all sense has gone out of modern marriage: which is, however, no objection to marriage but to modernity.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Freedom is a place, an area. It's a higher place. There are some other people that are here, and things that are here which are unseen. But you first have to set yourself free and believe in what you cannot see, believe that there is something more out there. In freedom can be found many devotions: a devotion to love, a desire to believe, a willingness to be happy, a perseverance to have peace. All these unseen things breathe and grow in the unseen soul. A free person is not an uncommitted person, but in a free person you will find a deep devotion, and a desire to be devoted to even more.
