Far from wishing to awaken the artist in the pupil prematurely, the teacher considers it his first task to make him a skilled artisan with sovereign control of his craft.

... i didn't fall in love of courseit's never up to youbut she was walking back and forthand i was passing through

Leonard Cohen

Nature understands no jesting. She is always true, always serious, always severe. She is always right, and the errors are always those of man.

Johann von Goethe

Love is wise; hatred is foolish. In this world, which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don't like. We can only live together in that way. But if we are to live together, and not die together, we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.

Bertrand Russell

I've been in many of them and to some extent I would have to say this: If you've seen one city slum you've seen them all.

Spiro T. Agnew

When you act on your beliefs, the realisation that happens is caused by you and this will in turn lead to a consequence.

Stephen Richards

If my duty to my parents is a superstition, then so is my duty to posterity. If justice is a superstition, then so is my duty to my country or my race. If the pursuit of scientific knowledge is a real value, then so is conjugal fidelity. The rebellion of new ideologies against the Tao is a rebellion of the branches against the tree: if the rebels could succeed they would find that they had destroyed themselves.

C.S. Lewis

My mom has always said that if I get a big head, she'll take me out of this business as quickly as I got into it.

Chloe Moretz

There is nothing so strong or safe in an emergency of life as the simple truth.

Charles Dickens

What I'm doing is writing stories about women who care about justice. They are women who think about the difference between right and wrong, what's legal and illegal, ethical and unethical, moral and immoral.

Lisa Scottoline

Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one.

Hans Selye

Opposites may attract, but I wouldn't put my money on a relationship of financial opposites.

Suze Orman

My mother gets all mad at me if I stay in a hotel. I'm 31-years-old, and I don't want to sleep on a sleeping bag down in the basement. It's humiliating.

Ben Affleck
