I am of course confident that I will fulfill my tasks as a writer in all circumstances -- from my grave even more successfully and more irrefutably than in my lifetime. No one can bar the road to truth, and to advance its cause I am prepared to accept even death.

Peer Steinbruck

Spending time outdoors makes you feel great.

Elizabeth Hurley

Love is a conflict between reflexes and reflections.

Mangnu Hirschfield

We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.

Charles Montesquieu

The barriers are not erected which can say to aspiring talents and industry, Thus far and no farther.
