When we come into the present, we begin to feel the life around us again, but we also encounter whatever we have been avoiding. We must have the courage to face whatever is present -- our pain, our desires, our grief, our loss, our secret hopes our love -- everything that moves us most deeply.

From whichever side I start, I think I am in an old place where others have been before me.

Dejan Stojanovic

It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn't say.

James Whitcomb Riley

To remove this obstacle I repeat or refer to such knowledge as has come under my notice, my own previously expressed views, and also describe and exhibit my last experiments and explain their novelty and utility.

Lawrence Hargrave

Divorce these days is a religious vow, as if the proper offspring of marriage.

Tertullian

I began reading science fiction before I was 12 and started writing science fiction around the same time.

Octavia Butler

Peace is produced by war.

Pierre Corneille

It's wonderful to travel with somebody that you love and we never travel anywhere without one another.

Roger Moore

did you ever think the reason you haven't found the right man is because it's not your time? Sometimes God kets bad things happen to us as a sign that something is not right. He also does it to make us stronger. God got a plan for you, and you gotta stop fighting it. Focus on YOU, and let God lead that man to you.

Braya Spice

My only love sprung from my only hate!Too early seen unknown, and known too late!Prodigious birth of love it is to me,That I must love a loathed enemy.

William Shakespeare

It is the neglect of timely repair that makes rebuilding necessary.

Richard Whately

Sometimes events that lead us bereft of anything but grief just happen for no reason other than happenstance--a car turns left instead of right, a train is missed, a call comes too late--and the real test of our humanness is whether, in light of that knowledge, we are ever able to recover. When we again find our way despite the inability to manufacture a deeper meaning in our suffering, that I think is when God smiles upon us, proud of the strength of his creation.

Neil Abramson

The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them.

Lois McMaster Bujold
