I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow. For people like me - I suspect that's most people - holding out for a 'dream' or a 'passion' is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That's hard enough... but it's enough.

There is no harm in repeating a good thing.

Plato

Literature flourishes best when it is half trade and half an art.

W. R. [William Ralph] Inge

With the abolition of private property, then, we shall have true, beautiful, healthy Individualism. Nobody will waste his life in accumulating things, and the symbols for things. One will live. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Oscar Wilde

When the time came to make a decision about what do in life, I found myself thinking that acting was the thing I loved to do, so I applied to drama school. And then, I didn't get in - twice.

Emily Watson

No man or woman can be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being better for it and without someone being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness.

Phillips Brooks

Art persists, it timelessly continues.

Oscar Wilde

What little Jack does not learn, big John will never.

Proverb

Using these unnamed sources, if done properly, carefully and fairly, provides more accountability in government.

Bob Woodward

It raises my spleen more than anything.

Jane Austen

Men in all ways are better than they seem

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The most unhappy of all men is the man who cannot tell what he is going to do, who has got no work cut-out for him in the world, and does not go into it. For work is the grand cure of all the maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind,honest work, which you intend getting done.

Thomas Carlyle

I love marriage. I failed at marriage, but I'd rather go into anything with gusto and fail than go into it half-assed.

Kirstie Alley
