Once we are destined to live out our lives in the prison of our mind, our duty is to furnish it well.

Accept yourself as you are. Otherwise you will never see opportunity. You will not feel free to move toward it; you will feel you are not deserving.

Maxwell Maltz

Direct your eye right inward, and you'll findA thousand regions in your mindYet undiscovered. Travel them, and beExpert in home-cosmography.quoted by Thoreau in Walden Conclusion

William Habbington, from To My H

Another grave limitation of language is that it cannot, like music or gesture, do more than one thing at once. However the words in a great poet's phrase interinanimate one another and strike the mind as a quasi-instantaneous chord, yet, strictly speaking, each word must be read or heard before the next. That way, language is as unilinear as time. Hence, in narrative, the great difficulty of presenting a very complicated change which happens suddenly. If we do justice to the complexity, the time the reader must take over the passage will destroy the feeling of suddenness. If we get the suddenness we shall not be able to get in the complexity. I am not saying that genius will not find its own way of palliating this defect in the instrument; only that the instrument is in this way defective.

C.S. Lewis

Are right and wrong convertible terms, dependant upon popular opinion?

William Lloyd Garrison

My relationship with my mom is so amazing. We never got to have that stage that people go through, like when you're 13 and you think you're too cool for your parents. When you're embarrassed by them and stuff. We never went through that because I was constantly working and she constantly had to be there.

Hilary Duff

Every person is a star; it just depends upon how close you are to him, that you realize his true potential and power.

Rupali Rajopadhye Rotti

We owe respect to the living. To the dead we owe only truth.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

I mean, I - it's so funny, I am, you know, I am, you know, a working woman out in the world, but I still live with my parents half the time. I've been sort of taking this very long, stuttering period of moving out.

Lena Dunham

As though there were a tie And obligation to posterity. We get them, bear them, breed, and nurse: What has posterity done for us. That we, lest they their rights should lose, Should trust our necks to gripe of noose?

John Trumbull

People like to make fun of the fans who camp out but people have renaissance fairs people do Civil War re-enactments people do what they like. I'm tired of hearing people rage on the fans. If you don't like 'Twilight,' don't buy a ticket.

Anna Kendrick

Religion, like water, may be free, but when they pipe it to you, you've got to help pay for piping. And the Piper!

Abigail Van Buren

Communists have always played an active role in the fight by colonial countries for their freedom, because the short-term objects of Communism would always correspond with the long-term objects of freedom movements.

Nelson Mandela
