The course of human history is determined, not by what happens in the skies, but by what takes place in our hearts.

All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.

Sun Tzu

The defendant wants to hide the truth because he's generally guilty. The defense attorney's job is to make sure the jury does not arrive at that truth.

Alan Dershowitz

I think the themes in my songs are very similar from the first album to the newest one. It's all about the human condition and how we are all trying to learn to live with each other and survive love and life.

Deana Carter

A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.

Victor Hugo

So I have loitered my life away, reading books, looking at pictures, going to plays, hearing, thinking, writing on what pleased me best. I have wanted only one thing to make me happy, but wanting that have wanted everything.

William Hazlitt

From Thee, great God: we spring, to Thee we tend, Path, motive, guide, original, and end.

Samuel Johnson

Music should probably provide answers in terms of lyrical content, and giving people a sense of togetherness and oneness, as opposed to being alone in their thoughts and dilemmas or regrets or happiness or whatever.

Peabo Bryson

A good laugh is sunshine in the house.

William Makepeace Thackeray

He that won't be counseled can't be helped.

Benjamin Franklin

Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth.

Virginia Woolf

I wrote seven Myron Bolitar novels in a row, and I never want to write a Myron book where he just solves a crime. Every one of them I want to be personal, and I want him to grow and change. The problem with that is, it makes the series limited, you can't write a series where a guy is always going through some kind of crisis.

Harlan Coben

Sympathy is a supporting atmosphere, and in it we unfold easily and well.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
