Every noble acquisition is attended with its risks; he who fears to encounter the one must not expect to obtain the other.

If you succeed with your first dream, it helps. You know, people trust you, possibly, for the second one. They give you a chance to play out your second one.

James D. Watson

A beautiful eye makes silence eloquent, a kind eye makes contradiction an assent, an enraged eye makes beauty deformed. This little member gives life to every part about us; and I believe the story of Argu simplies no more, than the eye is in every part; that is to say, every other part would be mutilated, were not its force represented more by the eye than even by itself.

Addison, Joseph

John Green

Then he thought himself unhappy, but happiness was all in the future; now he felt that the best happiness was already in the past.

Leo Tolstoy

Authors have established it as a kind of rule, that a man ought to be dull sometimes; as the most severe reader makes allowances for many rests and nodding places in a voluminous writer.

Joseph Addison, "The Spectator",

Akin to the idea that time is money is the concept, less spoken but as commonly assumed, that we may be adequately represented by money. The giving of money has thus become our characteristic virtue. But to give is not to do. The money is given in lieu of action, thought, care, time.

Wendell Berry

you must get money to chase you, but never let it catch up.

Denis Waitley

In a weird kind of way, music has afforded me an idealism and perfectionism that I could never attain as me.

Billy Corgan

Be silly. Be honest. Be kind.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Worry: a sustained form of fear caused by indecision.
