Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him whom time cannot console.

My dad was an editor and a writer, and that's actually what I aspired to be.

Anne M. Mulcahy

Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.

Norman Vincent Peale

God is an unutterable sigh, planted in the depths of the soul.

Jean Paul

In the future, when something comes up, you tell exactly how it happened but write down for yourself the way you think it should have happened. Tell the truth and write the story. Then you won't get mixed up. It was the best advice Francie every got.

But even when I stop crying, even when we fall asleep and I'm nestled in his arms, this will leave another scar. No one will see it. No one will know. But it will be there. And eventually all of the scars will have scars, and that's all I'll be--one big scar of a love gone wrong.

Amanda Grace

I broke with my religion in college.

Anne Rice

The architecture of our future is not only unfinished the scaffolding has hardly gone up.

George Lamming

The trouble with women umpires is that I couldn't argue with one. I'd put my arms around her and give her a little kiss.

Casey Stengel

I'm a hopeless romantic and I believe that you can find love in many different places and be very conflicted. I've discovered as I've grown up that life is far more complicated than you think it is when you're a kid. It isn't just a straightforward fairytale.
