Fame is something I think happens as a result of trying to do good work. If you're trying to be famous, your work usually suffers.

Like all things in the universe, we are destined from birth to diverge. Time is simply the yardstick of our separation. If we are particles in a sea of distance, exploded from an original whole, then there is a science to our solitude. We are lonely in proportion to our years.

Ian Caldwell, Dustin Thomason

The great instrument of moral good is the imagination.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking.

George Eliot

My awards are lovely. I love to show them of.

Doris Roberts

Love is knowing someone so deeply, understanding her so completely, that you can finish her thoughts without hesitation, confident in reading her face, her body, even her slightest gesture means something to you.

Richelle E. Goodrich

Poverty, Frost, Famine, Rain, Disease, are the beadles and guardsmen that hold us to Common Sense.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Patience and tenacity of purpose are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness.

Thomas Henry Huxley

Lonely, Vaguely Pedophilic Swing Set Seeks the Butts of Children

John Green

It is possible to regulate watercourses over any given distance without embankment works; to transport timber and other materials, even when heavier than water, for example ore, stones, etc., down the centre of such water-courses; to raise the height of the water table in the surrounding countryside and to endow the water with all those elements necessary for the prevailing vegetation. Furthermore it is possible in this way to render timber and other such materials non-inflammable and rot resistant; to produce drinking and spa-water for man, beast and soil of any desired composition and performance artificially, but in the way that it occurs in Nature; to raise water in a vertical pipe without pumping devices; to produce any amount of electricity and radiant energy almost without cost; to raise soil quality and to heal cancer, tuberculosis and a variety of nervous disorders... the practical implementation of this ... would without doubt signify a complete reorientation in all areas of science and technology.

Viktor Schauberger, Our Senseles

I used to sell furniture for a living. The trouble was, it was my own.

Les Dawson

They have seized upon the government by bribery and corruption. They have made speculation and public robbery a science. They have loaded the nation, the state, the county, and the city with debt.

Denis Kearney

What the inner voice says will not disappoint the hoping soul.
