The continuous narrative of existence is a lie. There is no continuous narrative, there are lit-up moments, and the rest is dark.

Jeanette Winterson

Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom.

George Washington Carver

Everything is tennis for me, it's my career and it's entertainment, but it's also a business.

Venus Williams

If you start to disrespect the character you're playing, or play it too much for laughs, that can work for a sketch, it will sell some gags, but it's all technique. It's like watching a juggler - you can be impressed by it, but it's not going to touch you in any way.

Jodi Picoult

I'm yours for ever--for ever and ever. Here I stand; I'm as firm as a rock. If you'll only trust me, how little you'll be disappointed. Be mine as I am yours.

James Buchan

Night never had the last word. The dawn is always invincible.

Hugh B. Brown

Dreams must be heeded and accepted. For a great many of them come true.

Paracelsus

The man who acts never has any conscience; no one has any conscience but the man who thinks

No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition.

Benjamin Disraeli
