French is the language that turns dirt into romance.

Stephen King

And at the place where time stands still, one sees lovers kissing in the shadows of buildings, in a frozen embrace that will never let go. The loved one will never take his arms from where they are now, will never give back the bracelet of memories, will never journey afar from his lover, will never place himself in danger of self-sacrifice, will never fail to show his love, will never become jealous, will never fall in love with someone else, will never lose the passion of this instant of time.

Cassandra Clare

Our many different cultures notwithstanding, there's something about the holidays that makes the planet communal. Even nations that do not celebrate Christmas can't help but be caught up in the collective spirit of their neighbors, as twinkling lights dot the landscape and carols fill the air. It's an inspiring time of the year.

Marlo Thomas

One must give himself completely to his art and not hold back. Throw caution to the wind. Embrace the muse. Make love to your art.

Harley King

Everyone is naked. Everyone wants to hide. But life is sweet. Let it go on.
