I don't psyche myself up. I psyche myself down. I think clearer when I'm not psyched up.

My favorite animal is steak.

Fran Lebowitz

Like when I'm in the bathroom looking at my toilet paper, I'm like 'Wow! That's toilet paper?' I don't know if we appreciate how much we have.

Alicia Silverstone

God is infinite and without end, but the soul's desire is an abyss which cannot be filled except by a Good which is infinite; and the more ardently the soul longeth after God, the more she wills to long after him; for God is a Good without drawback, and a well of living water without bottom, and the soul is made in the image of God, and therefore it is created to know and love God.

Johannes Tauler

I know of no such unquestionable badge and ensign of a sovereign mind as that of tenacity of purpose...

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I decided to study special education and fell in love with working with individuals with autism. That's what I planned to do with my life.

Clay Aiken

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.

John Donne

Olympia was a town crawling with music. I was new to the whole punk scene. The culture shock continued Olympia had bagels! We didn't have bagels in Arkansas. You could order vegetarian food all over town! It was so crazy to me - a place with so many vegetarians, the restaurants made special dishes for them?

Beth Ditto

I get some of my ideas from watching my three daughters, but most of them come from my own memories of growing up. I can remember how romantic I was, not just about love, but romance in the classic sense - the romantic ideals: of honor and truth, of loyalty, sacrifice and fairness. Those were the elements that made a story satisfying to me.

Francine Pascal

If a man can... make a better mousetrap, the world will make a beaten path to his door.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

No longer is there a quest for the truth so much as there is this apparent need to present both sides of an issue even if one is nothing but lies and distortions.

Joe Wilson

One should part from life as Ulysses parted from Nausicaa-- blessing it rather than in love with it.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.

Mignon McLaughlin
