A daydream is a meal at which images are eaten. Some of us are gourmets, some gourmands, and a good many take their images precooked out of a can and swallow them down whole, absent-mindedly and with little relish.

We are all cells in the same body of humanity.

Ambrose Bierce

I have known her longer, my smile said. True, you have been inside the circle of her arms, tasted her mouth, felt the warmth of her, and that is something I have never had. But there is a part of her that is only for me. You cannot touch it, no matter how hard you might try. And after she has left you I will still be here, making her laugh. My light shining in her. I will still be here long after she has forgotten your name.

Patrick Rothfuss

Thomas Jefferson

Honest to God, all my life I have had such a fear of spiders. In fact, I use to have a reoccurring dream about one. Very clearly, it was black with a red head. It would sit up in the corner of the bedroom and when it started getting closer, I would wake up in a panic.

Tippi Hedren

What you are is God's gift to you, what you do with yourself is your gift to God.

Leo Buscaglia

We have to be able to grow up. Our wrinkles are our medals of the passage of life. They are what we have been through and who we want to be.
