I couldn't have foreseen all the good things that have followed my mother's death. The renewed energy, the surprising sweetness of grief. The tenderness I feel for strangers on walkers. The deeper love I have for my siblings and friends. The desire to play the mandolin. The gift of a visitation.

I have got you together to hear what I have written down. I do not wish your advice about the main matterfor that I have determined for myself.

Abraham Lincoln

Easy DOESN'T do it.

Al Bernstein

I am extremely excited to develop and design a brand representative of my life, experiences and style. Working closely with Cherokee will help establish a worldwide presence with best-in-class retailers and category leaders.

Alessandra Ambrosio

America is a hurricane, and the only people who do not hear the sound are those fortunate if incredibly stupid and smug White Protestants who live in the center, in the serene eye of the big wind.

Norman Mailer

I cannot imaging anyone looking at the sky and denying God.

Abraham Lincoln

Bragging is not an attractive trait, but let's be honest. A man who catches a big fish doesn't go home through an alley.

Ann Landers

It was possible, no doubt, to imagine a society in which wealth, in the sense of personal possessions and luxuries, should be evenly distributed, while power remained in the hands of a small privileged caste. But in practice such a society could not long remain stable. For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realise that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.

George Orwell

I am cursed with computers something always goes wrong.

Carla Bruni

Companies shouldn't use the law to prevent consumers from doing something legal.

Jon Johansen

Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought no to be feared.

David BenGurion

Conclusive facts are inseparable from inconclusive except by a head that already understands and knows.

Thomas Carlyle

I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.

Albert Einstein
