A couple of times in your life, it happens like that. You meet a stranger, and all you know is that you need to know everything about him.

I think I'll work all my life. When you're having fun, why stop having fun?

Helen Thomas

The truth is that for those 86 long years when the Red Sox went without a World Series win, fans were not only in a recession, but trapped in a longstanding, deeply entrenched sports depression.

Julianna Baggott

There's Only so much emotional super glue in a person's soul, that everything just stays broken.

Laurell K Hamilton

... I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.

Douglas Fairbanks

The courage of the truth is the first condition of philosophic study.

G. W. F. Hegel

Stone walls confine a tinker cold iron binds a witch but a musician's music can never be fettered, for it lives first in her heart and mind.

Charles de Lint

People can cry much easier than they can change.

James Baldwin

In a meadow full of flowers, you cannot walk through and breathe those smells and see all those colors and remain angry. We have to support the beauty, the poetry, of life.

Jonas Mekas

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Anton Chekhov

Though the most beautiful creature were waiting for me at the end of a journey or a walk; though the carpet were of silk, the curtains of the morning clouds; the chairs and sofa stuffed with cygnet's down; the food manna, the wine beyond claret, the window opening on Winander Mere, I should not feel --or rather my happiness would not be so fine, as my solitude is sublime.

John Keats

Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.

Philip Larkin

Lack of knowledge... that is the problem.

W. Edwards Deming
