In every way that counted, I was dead. Inside somewhere maybe I was screaming and weeping and howling like an animal, but that was another person deep inside, another person who had no access to the lips and face and mouth and head, so on the surface I just shrugged and smile and kept moving. If I could have physically passed away, just let it all go, like that, without doing anything, stepped out of life as easily as walking through a door I would have done. But I was going to sleep at night and waking in the morning, disappointed to be there and resigned to existence.

Until you're ready to look foolish, you'll never have the possibility of being great.

Cher

The house was left; the house was deserted. It was left like a shell on a sandhill to fill with dry salt grains now that life had left it. The long life seemed to have set in; the trifling airs, nibbling, the clammy breaths, fumbling, seemed to have triumphed. ..

Virginia Woolf

I'm very ambitious. I live in reality but I have dreams I want to fulfill - I want to be a director, and I've already started my own production company. But I also have a measure of success that I keep to myself. It's something very personal to me.

Alex Pettyfer

We should speak as the populace but think as the learned.

Sir Edward Coke

One must be poor to know the luxury of giving.

George Eliot

The inevitable consequence of poverty is dependence

Samuel Johnson

We are in the black theater of nonexistence. In an eye blink the curtain is up, the stage ablaze, for the vast drama of ourselves.

Herman Wouk

Bukan sifatku untukk kalah tanpa bertarung, bahkan saat kemungkinan untuk menang tampak begitu tipis. -Katniss

Suzanne Collins

It is the first of all problems for a man to find out what kind of work he is to do in this universe

Thomas Carlyle

I think a responsibility comes with notoriety, but I never think of it as power. It's more like something you hold, like grains of sand. If you keep your hand closed, you can have it and possess it, but if you open your fingers in any way, you can lose it just as quickly.

Diana Ross

Stop blaming outside circumstances for your inside chaos.

Steve Maraboli

Myths which are believed in tend to become true.

George Orwell
