We cannot feel strongly toward the totally unlike because it is unimaginable, unrealizable; nor yet toward the wholly like because it is stale -- identity must always be dull company. The power of other natures over us lies in a stimulating difference which causes excitement and opens communication, in ideas similar to our own but not identical, in states of mind attainable but not actual.

I used to listen to my dad a lot as a way of trying to be close to him, as well, because my parents were divorced and I didn't spend that much time with him. And I used to put headphones on and listen to my dad talk and sing and I found that quite... bonding with him, in a weird way.

Teddy Thompson

Bagi gue, rumah adalah dia. Karena dia adalah tempat gue pulang. Karena, orang terbaik buat kita itu seperti rumah yang sempurna. Sesuatu yang bisa melindungi kita dari gelap, hujan, dan menawarkan kenyamanan.

Raditya Dika

Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.

Leo Tolstoy

If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you'll be amazed at the results.

George S. Patton

We should all be obliged to appear before a board every five years and justify our existence... on pain of liquidation.

George Bernard Shaw

Happiness is not a matter of events; it depends upon the tides of the mind.

Alice Meynell

In the common world of fact the wicked were not punished, nor the good rewarded. Success was given to the strong, failure thrust upon the weak. That was all.

Oscar Wilde

Socialism values equality more than liberty.

Dennis Prager

People think that I can teach them style. What stuff it all is. Have something to say and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret of style.

Matthew Arnold

I am definitely going to take a course on time management... just as soon as I can work it into my schedule.

Louis E. Boone

One half of my life has put the other half in the grave.

Pierre Corneille

The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule.

Samuel Adams
