Have you ever found your heart's desire and then lost it? I had seen myself, a portrait of myself as a reader. My childhood: days home sick from school reading Nancy Drew, forbidden books read secretively late at night. Teenage years reading -trying to read- books I'd heard were important, Naked Lunch, and The Fountainhead, Ulysses and Women in Love... It was as though I had dreamt the perfect lover, who vanished as I woke, leaving me pining and surly.

Americans appreciate the way our friends around the world are sticking by us, and we all hope for their continued support in what's going to be some very trying times.

We live in a Newtonian world of Einsteinian physics ruled by Frankenstein logic.

David Russell

Every life is a story. Every story has mistakes. If you focus too much on the mistakes, you will miss the story. In doing that, you are making a dreadful mistake yourself. Sometimes, it is the mistakes that enrich and give the story so much more meaning than it would have had otherwise.

When we realize we can make a buck cleaning up the environment, it will be done!

Dennis Weaver

The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete.

Lao Tzu

What greater pain could mortals have than this To see their children dead before their eyes

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Much wisdom often goes with fewest words.

Sophocles

My sister, she's amazing. She sort of inspired me to take this journey to Latin America.

Jenna Bush

There are people who are generic. They make generic responses and they expect generic answers. They live inside a box and they think people who don't fit into their box are weird. But I'll tell you what, generic people are the weird people. They are like genetically-manipulated plants growing inside a laboratory, like indistinguishable faces, like droids. Like ignorance.

I never thought a basketball shoe would be named after a woman, let alone me.

Sheryl Swoopes

An argument fatal to the communist theory, is suggested by the fact, that a desire for property is one of the elements of our nature.

Herbert Spencer

Every other enjoyment malice may destroy; every other panegyric envy may withhold; but no human power can deprive the boaster of his own encomiums.

Samuel Johnson
