And to this day, my Mom is my role model.

You put yourself where you are, and if you find yourself unsatisfied with how you are, then get yourself out of it.

Stephen Richards

I'd had 35 professional fights and mentally I was tired of it. I'd sort ot fallen out of love with the sport.

Barry McGuigan

Mandell Creighton

Rand Paul

Marguerite Moreau

Death borders upon our birth, and our cradle stands in the grave.

Joseph Hall

I am totally fascinated by people and our history as I understand and continue to explore it. People have so much to give and so far to go and yet we have given and gone a great distance. It's really just interesting to ask: why not? And see where that takes me.

Nikki Giovanni

...and yet, though desirous to be gone, she could not quit the mansion-house, or look an adieu to the cottage, with its black, dripping and comfortless veranda, or even notice through the misty glasses the last humble tenements of the village, without a saddened heart. Scenes had passed in Uppercross which made it precious. It stood the record of many sensations of pain, once severe, but now softened; and of some instances of relenting feeling, some breathings of friendship and reconciliation, which could never be looked for again, and which could never cease to be dear. She left it all behind her, all but the recollection that such things had been.

Jane Austen

We're all dead the moment we're born. Just, some of us get there faster than others.

Alex Scarrow

I take, O cross, thy shadow For my abiding-place:I ask no other sunshine thanThe sunshine of his face;Content to let the world go by,To know no gain nor loss;My sinful self my only shame,My glory, all the cross.

Elizabeth Clephane, 1868

I knew a man who gave twenty years of his life to a scatterbrained woman, sacrificing everything to her, his friendships, his work, the very respectability of his life and who one evening recognized that he had never loved her. He had been bored, thats all, bored like most people. Hence he had made himself out of whole cloth a life full of complications and drama. Something must happen and that explains most human commitments. Something must happen even loveless slavery, even war or death.

Albert Camus
