You should be having more fun in high school, exploring things because you want to explore them and learning because you love learning-not worrying about competition.

All hurt is brain hurt.

John Green

In a way, the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. . They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.

George Orwell

Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor, but I always knew who was funny, who to hang out with.

Andrew Stanton

I'm really looking forward to seeing what life brings to me.

Rihanna

Songwriting is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're allowed to sleep. It's always in the middle of the night, or you're half-awake or tired, when your critical faculties are switched off. So letting go is what the whole game is. Every time you try to put your finger on it, it slips away. You turn on the lights and the cockroaches run away. You can never grasp them...

John Lennon

Never regard study as a duty but as an enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later works belong.

Albert Einstein

We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present.

Marianne Williamson

It has been said that the love of money is the root of all evil. The want of money is so quite as truly.

Samuel Butler

Poetry is a special use of language that opens onto the real. The business of the poet is truth telling, which is why in the Celtic tradition no one could be a teacher unless he or she was a poet.

Huston Smith

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens.

Douglas William Jerrold

That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, lest you should think he never could recapture the first fine careless rapture!

Robert Browning

Yes, if the life and death of Socrates are those of a wise man, the life and death of Jesus are those of a god.

Jean Jacques Rousseau
