Michael Kinsley

Auberon Waugh

I was always depressed growing up. There wasn't a reason for it, I just was. I was sad and morose. I cried a lot, I wrote a lot, and I read a lot and that was how I dealt with it.

Amanda Hocking

Doing the right thing for someone else occasionally means doing something that feels wrong to you.

Jodi Picoult

In conversation we are sometimes confused by the tone of our own voice, and mislead to make assertions that do not at all correspond to our opinions.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Kal Penn

Every object and being in the universe is a jar overflowing with wisdom and beauty, a drop of the Tigris that cannot be contained by any skin. Every jarful spills and makes the earth more shining, as though covered in satin.

Rumi

Talk unbelief, and you will have unbelief; but talk faith, and you will have faith. According to the seed sown will be the harvest.

Ellen G. White

What is a friend A single soul dwelling in two bodies.

Aristotle

I think the institution of marriage is a great idea, but for me it's just an idea.
