Design works if it's authentic, inspired, and has a clear point of view. It can't be a collection of input.

I actually don't know anyone who wants to be famous for fame's sake, at least not anyone I respect. But you need to have a certain amount of power in order to be able to do what you want.

Michael Ian Black

What's funny about that is when I was writing Twilight just for myself and not thinking of it as a book, I was not thinking about publishing, and yet at the same time I was casting it in my head. Because when I read books, I see them very visually.

Stephenie Meyer

At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.

Benjamin Franklin

The creations of a great writer are little more than the moods and passions of his own heart, given surnames and Christian names, and sent to walk the earth.

William Butler Yeats

We are as much as we see. Faith is sight and knowledge. The hands only serve the eyes.

Henry David Thoreau

He that hopes to look back hereafter with satisfaction upon past years must learn to know the present value of single minutes, and endeavour to let no particle of time fall useless to the ground

Samuel Johnson

We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.

Aneurin Bevan

To be shelterless and alone in the open country, hearing the wind moan and watching for day through the whole long weary night; to listen to the falling rain, and crouch for warmth beneath the lee of some old barn or rick, or in the hollow of a tree; are dismal things -- but not so dismal as the wandering up and down where shelter is, and beds and sleepers are by thousands; a houseless rejected creature.

Charles Dickens

H. A. Hopf

It is neither right nor safe to go against my conscience.

Martin Luther King Jr.

An angel is a spiritual creature created by God without a body for the service of Christendom and the church.

Martin Luther

True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.

Martin Luther King Jr.
