My feelings for Ellen overrode all of my fear about being out as a lesbian. I had to be with her, and I just figured I'd deal with the other stuff later.

Yes, I did and a lot of my friends who are in the same program as I were very much supportive, and the most important thing they said to me is do not let this interfere with what you have to do in taking car of yourself. That was the most important thing.

Naomi Campbell

Every stage of human life, except the last, is marked out by certain and defined limits; old age alone has no precise and determinate boundary.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Literature must become party literature. Down with unpartisan litterateurs! Down with the superman of literature! Literature must become a part of the general cause of the proletariat.

Lenin (Vladimir Ulyanov)

My personal theory is that he has a very firm grasp upon reality, it's simply not a reality the rest of us have ever met before.

Terry Pratchett

Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you.

Denis Waitley

To speak a bold truth, I am, after much mature deliberation, inclined to suspect that the public voice hath, in all ages, done much injustice to Fortune, and hath convicted her of many facts in which she had not the least concern.

Henry Fielding

But I do think it's important to remember that writers do not have a monopoly of wisdom on their books. They can be wrong about their own books, they can often learn about their own books.

China Mieville

Of course, money will do after its kind, and will steadily work to unspiritualize and unchurch the people to whom it was bequeathed.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Życie to pasmo nieustannych porażek i rozczarowań, ale tylko od Ciebie zależy jak zamienisz je w swój życiowy sukces.

Emil W.Wachol

Just because you are CEO, don't think you have landed. You must continually increase your learning, the way you think, and the way you approach the organization. I've never forgotten that.

Indra Nooyi

Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances; departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for awareness, so that one may be happy in the interim.

I Ching

You know, they've got these chocolate assortments, and you like some but you don't like others? And you eat all the ones you like, and the only ones left are the ones you don't like as much? I always think about that when something painful comes up. Now I just have topolish these off, and everything'll be OK. Life is a box of chocolates. I suppose you could call it a philosophy.

Haruki Murakami
