Curiosity is as much the parent of attention, as attention is of memory.

A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.

Victor Hugo

The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products.

Steve Jobs

The need to write comes from the need to make sense of one's life and discover one's usefulness.

John Cheever

But I am sure that I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round...as a good time a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut up hearts freely.

Charles Dickens

In America a woman loses her independence for ever in the bonds of matrimony. While there is less constraint on girls there than anywhere else, a wife submits to stricter obligations. For the former, her father's house is a home of freedom and pleasure; for the latter, her husband's is almost a cloister.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Religion enabled society to organise itself to debate goodness, just as Greek drama had once done.

Edward Bond

Panic is a sudden desertion of us, and a going over to the enemy of our imagination.

Christian Nestell Bovee

When the morning's freshness has been replaced by the weariness of midday, when the leg muscles give under the strain, the climb seems endless, and suddenly nothing will go quite as you wish-it is then that you must not hesitate.

Dag Hammarskjold

T. D. Jakes

Never give up. Keep your thoughts and your mind always on the goal.

Tom Bradley

Feed your faith and doubt will starve to death

They don't have intelligence. They have what I like to call 'thintelligence.' They see the immediate situation. They think narrowly and they call it 'being focused.' They don't see the surround. They don't see the consequences. That's how you get an island like this. From thintelligent thinking.

Michael Crichton
