For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.

The nostalgia of a moment's love can be an illusionary precipice from which we fall from truth; in heartbreak, what we escape to in the past is what tortures us in the present.

Mike Norton

I am of a sect by myself, as far as I know

Thomas Jefferson

The great book for you is the book that has the most to say to you at the moment when you are reading. I do not mean the book that is most instructive, but the book that feeds your spirit. And that depends on your age, your experience, your psychological and spiritual need.

Robertson Davies

A healthy male adult bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people's patience.

John Updike, Confessions of a Wi

Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on I am not too sure.

H. L. Mencken

I love the feeling of creating pictures in someone's mind just by spelling out the right lyrical combination.

Billy Sherwood

I feel like a micro cog in a macrocosm

Mary Guyette

Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open.

Thomas Dewar

We believe that to err is human. To blame it on someone else is politics.

Hubert H. Humphrey

I had a very special family life. My mother and father made sure when we were home, we were part of the family, not a TV star. And the other thing: my father was fully employed while I was doing the series.

Jerry Mathers

If you cannot win, make the one ahead of you break the record.

Jan Mckeithen

..and dreaming is very pleasant as long as you are not forced to put your dreams into practice. That way, we avoid all the risks, frustrations and difficulties, and when we are old, we can always blame other people-preferably our parents, our spouses or our children-for our failure to realize our dreams.

Paulo Coelho
