The eye by long use comes to see even in the darkest cavern: and there is no subject so obscure but we may discern some glimpse of truth by long poring on it.

The surest route to breeding jealousy is to compare. Since jealousy comes from feeling less than another, comparisons only fan the fires.

Remember in 1973 the same science chatter said that the coming Ice Age is going to occur, we're going to lose millions of people. And the politicians knew how to solve it, they just didn't have the courage to solve it; they were going to put coal dust on the Arctic.

Don Young

Experience is the name we give to our mistakes.

Oscar Wilde

Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

Mark Twain

Love knows no boundaries. I wish I would have known that before I hired a cartographer to map out my romantic territory. ?

Jarod Kintz

Songs remain. They last...A song can last long after the events and the people in it are dust and dreams and gone. That's the power of songs.

Neil Gaiman

The secret of making something work in your lives is, first of all, the deep desire to make it work: then the faith and belief that it can work: then to hold that clear definite vision in your consciousness and see it working out step by step, without one thought of doubt or disbelief.

Eileen Caddy

Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead.

Anon.

It all changed when I realized I'm not the only one on the planet who's scared. Everyone else is, too. I started asking people, Are you scared, too? You bet your sweet life I am. Aha, so that's the way it is for you, too. We were all in the same boat. That's probably what is so effective at our workshops. When I ask, Who else feels like this? the whole room of hands goes up. People realize they are not the only one who feels that way.

Stan Dale

Divorce was very sad, obviously, but now I've gotten over it.

Natalie Imbruglia

All of the people in my building are insane. The guy above medesigns synthetic hairballs for ceramic cats. The lady acrossthe hall tried to rob a department store... With a pricinggun... She said, Give me all of the money in the vault, or I'mmarking down everything in the store.

Steven Wright

They were letting off fireworks down at the waterfront, the sky exploding in grenades of colour. Whatever it is that pulls the pin, that hurls you past the boundaries of your own life into a brief and total beauty - even for a moment - it is enough.
