It didn't even occur to me that I'm the last person in the world who should play salsa or Brazilian music.

It is as healthy to enjoy sentiment as to enjoy jam.

G. K. Chesterton

One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars and the world will be better for this.

Miguel de Cervantes

Our cause, then, must be intrusted to, and conducted by, its own undoubted friendsthose whose hands are free, whose hearts are in the workwho do care for the result. Two years ago the Republicans of the nation mustered over thirteen hundred thousand strong. We did this under the single impulse of resistance to a common danger, with every external circumstance against us. Of strange, discordant, and even, hostile elements, we gathered from the four winds, and formed and fought the battle through, under the constant hot fire of a disciplined, proud, and pampered enemy. Did we brave all then to falter now?now when that same enemy is wavering, dissevered, and belligerent? The result is not doubtful. We shall not failif we stand firm, we shall not fail. Wise councils may accelerate or mistakes delay it, but, sooner or later, the victory is sure to come.

Abraham Lincoln

Love had he found in huts where poor men lie; His daily teachers had been woods and rills, The silence that is in the starry sky, The sleep that is among the lonely hills.

William Wordsworth

Most of life's actions are within our reach, but decisions take willpower.

Robert McKee

I could pose in fashion commercials as a high society star but politics is a new way of life.

I wish I had coined the phrase 'tyranny of choice,' but someone beat me to it. The counterintuitive truth is that have an abundance of options does not make you feel privileged and indulged too many options make you feel like all of them are wrong, and that you are wrong if you choose any of them.

Susan Orlean

Leowin: Don't worry Luthiel. 'Truth's existence never depended upon belief.

Robert Fanney

In a funny way, poems are suited to modern life. They're short, they're intense. Nobody has time to read a 700-page book. People read magazines, and a poem takes less time than an article.

Caroline Kennedy

I think to have the skill set and the ability to physically help others in matters of life and death must be incredibly empowering.

Karlie Kloss

Those things that nature denied to human sight, she revealed to the eyes of the soul.

Ovid

Good deeds from good intentions flow; but good intentions only; build for us a place below.
