Every journey that is successful has culs-de-sac and speed bumps. I carry a wisdom gene through my life through the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Truth will lose its credit, if delivered by a person that has none.

Bishop Robert South

You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family.

Sandra Bullock

It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them.

Man Ray

Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence, is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.

Victor Frankl

Fine writers should split hairs together, and sit side by side, like friendly apes, to pick the fleas from each others fur.

Logan Pearsall Smith

A man must be sacrificed now and again to provide for the next generation of men.

Amy Lowell

Prophecy today is hardly the romantic business that it used to be. The old tools of the trade, like the sword, the hair shirt, and the long fast in the wilderness, have given way to more contemporary, mundane instruments of doom --the book, the picket and the petition, the sit-in at City Hall.

Jane Kramer

In the society, where people are just parts in a larger machine, individuals are unable to develop fully.

Friedrich Schiller

True, I talk of dreams,Which are the children of an idle brain,Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,Which is as thin of substance as the air,And more inconstant than the wind, who woos Even now the frozen bosom of the north,And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence,Turning his side to the dew-dropping south.

William Shakespeare

Sometimes, if she simply remained quiet, and let the inadequacy of his excuses reverberate on the air, he became ashamed and backtracked.

J.K. Rowling

This is true enough, but success is the next best thing to happiness, and if you can't be happy as a success, it's very unlikely that you would find a deeper, truer happiness in failure.

Michael Korda

Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld
