And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart, till the Devil whispered behind the leaves 'It's pretty, but is it Art?'

The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Oscar Wilde, Lady Windemere's Fa

I don't allow anybody to change me. I still walk outta my house in rollers and I take walks. I do not care what people think.

Britney Spears

Delete the negative accentuate the positive!

Donna Karan

People who use their erudition to write for a learned minority... don't seem to me favored by fortune but rather to be pitied for their continuous self-torture. They add, change, remove, lay aside, take up, rephrase, show to their friends, keep for nine years and are never satisfied. And their futile reward, a word of praise from a handful of people, they win at such a cost -- so many late nights, such loss of sleep, sweetest of all things, and so much sweat and anguish... their health deteriorates, their looks are destroyed, they suffer partial or total blindness, poverty, ill-will, denial of pleasure, premature old age and early death.

Desiderius Erasmus

I love to write, to sing, to make music. Not to act: I am horrible.

Kim Carnes

Jimmy Johnson

Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in theirpower, which no subsequent connections can supply..

Jane Austen

My mom was at every single game I played as a kid, rain or shine.

Ryne Sandberg

The right to discuss freely and openly, by speech, by the pen, by the press, all political questions, and to examine and animadvert (speak out) upon all political institutions, is a right so clear and certain, so interwoven with our other liberties, so necessary, in fact to their existence, that without it we must fall at once into depression or anarchy. To say that he who holds unpopular opinions must hold them at the peril of his life, and that, if he expresses them in public, he has only himself to blame if they who disagree with him should rise and put him to death, is to strike at all rights, all liberties, all protection of the laws, and to justify and extenuate all crimes.

William Cullen Bryant, defending

The TUC's new slogan 'a future that works' sets a profound challenge. Austerity and rapid deficit reduction is failing in its own terms, but even at its best it is short-sighted, muddle-through politics with no vision of a new economic model.

Frances O'Grady

Leadership is not about the next election, it's about the next generation.

Simon Sinek

Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

Mother Teresa
