Fortune has something of the nature of a woman. If she is too intensely wooed, she commonly goes the further away.

Modernity is the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent, which make up one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immutable. This transitory fugitive element, which is constantly changing, must not be despised or neglected.

Charles Baudelaire

The breaking wave and the muscle as it contracts obey the same law. Delicate line gathers the body's total strength in a bold balance. Shall my soul meet so severe a curve, journeying on its way to form?

Dag Hammarskjold

Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a specialprovidence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now,'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will benow; if it be not now, yet it will come: thereadiness is all.

William Shakespeare

The first great gift we can bestow on others is a good example.

Thomas Morell

America is a democracy and has no Hitler, but I am afraid for her future; there are hard times ahead for the American people, troubles will be coming from within and without. America cannot smile away their Negro problem nor Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There are cosmic laws.

Albert Einstein

Faith is a converter. It turns weakness into strength, barrenness into fruitfulness, death to life.

Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

Juno Temple

A man is in love when something in his head, something in his and chest and something in his pants react to a certain woman.

Brian Hwang

All doors open to courtesy.

Thomas Fuller

I wasn't one to go out and buy a new car and stereo system and expensive clothes. My mom helped keep me grounded.

Christina Applegate

Probably only an art-worlder like me could assign deeper meaning to something as simple and silly as Tebowing. But, to us, anytime people repeat a stance or a little dance, alone or together, we see that it can mean something. Imagistic and unspoken language is our thing.

Jerry Saltz

I gradually became persuaded that the subjects, without intending to, had revealed to me a basic truth about markets that was foreign to the literature of economics.
