Christmas... is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart.

Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.

Neil Gaiman

Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

Somewhere beyond the pain, you turn around and realize that life is beautiful.

T.L. Rese

I consist of body and soul - in the worlds of a child. And why shouldn't we speak like children? But the enlightened, the knowledgealbe would say: I am body through and through, nothing more; and the soul is just a word for something on the body.

Friedrich Nietzsche

My faith has been the driving thing of my life. I think it is important that people who are perceived as liberals not be afraid of talking about moral and community values.

Marian Wright Edelman

I do not want to speak about overpopulation or birth control, but I think education is the way to give new impetus to the poverty question.

Harri Holkeri

I think that anybody that stays in school, gets good grades, pays the price, I think we are wealthy enough in the public and the private sector in America to make sure that every child in America that wants to continue their education, they should be able to do that.

J. C. Watts

The truest form of love is how you behave toward someone, not how you feel about them.

Steve Hall

Remember that government doesn't earn one single dollar it spends. In order for you to get money from the government, that money must first be taken from somebody else.

Jesse Ventura

Develop interest in life as you see it in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

Henry Miller

I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do, as I'm writing a movie, is go through all those songs, trying to find good songs for fights, or good pieces of music to layer into the film.

Quentin Tarantino

A dream becomes a goal when action is taken toward its achievement.
