The one woman who never gives herself is your free woman, who is always giving herself.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth.

E.H. Chapin

Friendship is the only thing in the world concerning the usefulness of which all mankind are agreed.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

When I hit a block, regardless of what I am writing, what the subject matter is, or what's going on in the plot, I go back and I read Pablo Neruda's poetry. I don't actually speak Spanish, so I read it translation. But I always go back to Neruda. I don't know why, but it calms me, calms my brain.

The greatest humiliation in life, is to work hard on something from which you expect great appreciation, and then fail to get it.

E. W. Howe

This world is your best teacher. There is a lesson in everything. There is a lesson in each experience. Learn it and become wise. Every failure is a stepping stone to success. Every difficulty or disappointment is a trial of your faith. Every unpleasant incident or temptation is a test of your inner strength. Therefore nil desperandum. March forward hero!

Sivananda Saraswati

Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.

Jean de la Bruyere

It is very natural for young men to be vehement, acrimonious and severe. For as they seldom comprehend at once all the consequences of a position, or perceive the difficulties by which cooler and more experienced reasoners are restrained from confidence, they form their conclusions with great precipitance. Seeing nothing that can darken or embarrass the question, they expect to find their own opinion universally prevalent, and are inclined to impute uncertainty and hesitation to want of honesty, rather than of knowledge.

Samuel Johnson

Politics isn't about left versus right it's about top versus bottom.

Jim Hightower

The element of chance in basic research is overrated. Chance is a lady who smiles only upon those few who know how to make her smile.

Hans Selye

Painting is by nature a luminous language.

Robert Delaunay

President Johnson did not want the Vietnam War to broaden. He wanted the North Vietnamese to leave their brothers in the South alone.

William Westmoreland
