It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied. How great is the force of benevolent and searching examination! We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.

A little girl without a doll is almost as unfortunate and quite as impossible as a woman without children.

Victor Hugo

A life without regret can be attained by full awareness of one's actions in their present moment.

It is the Law that any difficulties that can come to you at any time, no matter what they are, must be exactly what you need most at the moment, to enable you to take the next step forward by overcoming them.

Love isn't an emotion or an instinct--it's an art.

Mae West

I don't necessarily love the sports per se, I love the stories behind them. Also in a kind of perverse way I like to study what it does to us, why we care so much. It's caring about something that's utterly meaningless.

Harlan Coben

Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made.

Bill Cosby

Seeing her cry still made me feel the same way it did earlier.
