The differences between revolution in art and revolution in politics are enormous. Revolution in art lies not in the will to destroy but in the revelation of what has already been destroyed. Art kills only the dead.

I don't think that there are any limits to how excellent we could make life seem.

Jonathan Safran Foer

Youth is ever apt to judge in haste, and lose the medium in the wild extreme.

Aaron Hill

God gives us love. Something to love He lends us; but when love is grown To ripeness, that on which it throve Falls off, and love is left alone.

Alfred Tennyson

When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.

Tom Robbins

This is where you will win the battle -- in the playhouse of your mind.

Maxwell Maltz

Ah, when love dies, women lose two and a half inches in height.

M.C. Beaton

Laughter is the cipher key wherewith we decipher the whole man

Thomas Carlyle

I don't want to be famous per se, but I want to write books for as long as I can. And I plan on writing a lot.

Amanda Hocking

I have often thought of it as one of the most barbarous customs in the world, considering us as a civilized and a Christian country, that we deny the advantages of learning to women.

Daniel Defoe

Don't seek love externally, it's fleeting. Go beyond the ego and awaken thelove that already exists within; it will encompass everyone andeverything in your life; it will permeate your very being.

Danielle Pierre

Our will is always for our own good, but we do not always see what that is.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

After the ship has sunk, everyone knows how she might have been saved.
