Maya Angelou

You know those little moments when an unexpected act or a spoken word affects your heart with sweet, satiating intensity - a simple gesture that possesses deep, personal meaning beyond what anyone realizes? ?

Your work is first, learning is first, winning is everything because without it there is nothing.

Orson Scott Card

The religions whose theology is least preoccupied with events in time and most concerned with eternity, have been consistently less violent and more humane in political practice. Unlike early Judaism, Christianity and Mohammedanism (all obsessed with time) Hinduism and Buddhism have never been persecuting faiths, have preached almost no holy wars and have refrained from that proselytizing religious imperialism which has gone hand in hand with political and economic oppression of colored people.

Aldous Huxley

Communication is truth; communication is happiness. To share is our duty; to go down boldly and bring to light those hidden thoughts which are the most diseased; to conceal nothing; to pretend nothing; if we are ignorant to say so; if we love our friends to let them know it.

Virginia Woolf

Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.

Bertrand Russell

Jodi Picoult

If you wish to achieve worthwhile things in your personal and career life, you must become a worthwhile person in your own self-development.

I have always believed that all things depended upon Fortune, and nothing upon ourselves.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron
