My father was a schoolteacher and my mother came from a teacher's family.

There are always two forces warring against each other within us.

Paramahansa Yogananda

We both grew so used to each other, so comfortable with the naturalness and ease of our friendship, that we became sloppy about keeping our relationship a secret. It was not that we were physically demonstrative or obviously in love, more that it had become impossible for us to hide our close involvement. We had gradually acquired the unmistakable air of old-love: finishing each other's sentences and speaking to each other with an offhand, presuming intimacy that was eventually noticed.

That one moment that starts it all. The moment that gives light to the rest of your life. You're not going to realize it but, that's the beauty of it. You won't know it until you've reached the state of grace, when everything is aligned and you realize that despite your rough year the world is still spinning and taking you with it. And, no matter what happens, everything will be okay. You will always have people who love you, since before, now, and after.

A.A. Byer

Josh Billings

Getting through the nights is the toughest part. Being alone. Not having her there to talk to.

I have always wanted a bunny and I'll always have a rabbit the rest of my life.

Amy Sedaris

Movies are an expensive business.

Albert Brooks

It did not seem odd to Max that what he had imagined about Stumps was really true, because this was exactly how games you made up worked. Of course they were true. In your mind.

Pauline Clarke

Euer Freund ist die Antwort auf eure Nöte.

Kahlil Gibran

A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam that flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his own thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts they come back to us with a sort of alienated majesty.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

George Washington Carver
