Every failure made me more confident. Because I wanted even more to achieve as revenge. To show that I could.

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in raising up every time we fail.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?

Jack Kerouac

I had a really negative look at the night-life side of Hollywood, which I really didn't like. I went to New York to focus on modeling, and then of course found that New York was not any different from Los Angeles.

Erin Gray

The ages of seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.

Leonard Cohen, The Favorite Game

Sansa, permit me to share a bit of womanly wisdom with you on this very special day. Love is poison. A sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same.

George R. R. Martin

Try to put well in practice what you already know. In so doing, you will, in good time, discover the hidden things you now inquire about.

Rembrandt (Harmenszoon van Rijn)

Leadership is influence.

John C. Maxwell

Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wing, and only character endures.

Horace Greeley

It's funny, though, because when I first started going to races after we met, I was extremely nervous. It's like being backstage and hoping you don't trip over something or break an amp or accidentally speak into a live microphone, so I was really hesitant.

Ashley Judd

This required abandoning the idea that there is a universal quantity called time that all clocks measure. Instead, everyone would have his own personal time. The clocks of two people would agree if they were at rest with respect to each other but not if they were moving. This has been confirmed by a number of experiments, including one in which an extremely accurate timepiece was flown around the world and then compared with one that had stayed in place. If you wanted to live longer, you could keep flying to the east so the speed of the plane added to the earth

Stephen Hawking

Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever.

George Orwell

In Holland, they have come to precisely the same conclusion. There they have adopted a system of secular education, because they have found it impracticable to unite the religious bodies in any system of combined religious instruction.

Richard Cobden
