I am the family face flesh perishes, I live on.

La sua vita era ancora troppo breve, per sapere che non c'è cosa più imminente dell'impossibile, e che quanto dobbiamo sempre prevedere è l'imprevisto.

Victor Hugo

I suffer because my interactions with others do not meet the expectations I did not know I had.

Jim McDonald

A person who publishes a book appears willfully in public with his pants down.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

Small amounts of philosophy lead to atheism, but larger amounts bring us back to God.

Francis Bacon

I began to realize how important it is to be able to know your gifts and dreams, to live in the moment, to work less hard and to let things flow. I embraced the fact that worry never is a good thing. I learned that I could control my thoughts, which then affects my feelings and the quality of my life.

Sheri Kaye Hoff

In government offices which are sensitive to the vehemence and passion of mass sentiment public men have no sure tenure. They are in effect perpetual office seekers, always on trial for their political lives, always required to court their restless constituents. They are deprived of their independence. Democratic politicians rarely feel they can afford the luxury of telling the whole truth to the people. And since not telling it, though prudent, is uncomfortable, they find it easier if they themselves do not have to hear too often too much of the sour truth. The men under them who report and collect the news come to realize in their turn that it is safer to be wrong before it has become fashionable to be right.

Walter Lippmann

The best way to sell yourself to others is first to sell the others to yourself.

Napoleon Hill

Unjust. How many times I've used that word, scolded myself with it. All I mean by it now is that I don't have the final courage to say that I refuse to preside over violations against myself, and to hell with justice.

Lillian Hellman

'Tis not the dying for a faith that's so hard... 'Tis the living up to it that's difficult.

William Makepeace Thackeray

If a man's eye is on the Eternal, his intellect will grow.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

They all dreamt of each other that night, as was natural, considering how thin the partitions were between them, and how strangely they had been lifted off the earth to sit next each other in mid-ocean, and see every detail of each others' faces, and hear whatever they chanced to say.

Virginia Woolf

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

Douglas Adams
