You have to dream before your dreams can come true.

I hope I am remembered by my children as a good father.

Orson Scott Card

Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building -- like Tower Bridge -- or a classical front put on a steel frame -- like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living -- not something added, like sugar on a pill.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Franz Kafka

They will set aside what they have believed about the world, divesting themselves of all preconceptions, all judgments.... They will do it, then they will send their minds out to seek the truth.

Sheri S. Tepper

The common element in all the special forms of contemplation is the loving, yearning, affirming bent toward that happiness which is the same as God Himself, and which is the aim and purpose of all that happens in the world.

Josef Pieper

Joseph Addison

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

Johann Sebastian Bach

I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.

Oscar Wilde

I heard my name associated with the Peter Pan syndrome more than once. But really, what's so wrong with Peter Pan? Peter Pan flies. He is a metaphor for dreams and faith.

Mark Burnett

The tiny fish enjoy themselves in the sea. Quick little splinters of life, their little lives are fun to them in the sea.

David Herbert Lawrence
