I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you might nudge the world a little or make a poem that children will speak for you when you are dead.

Tom Stoppard

Francis Picabia

People think that if a man has undergone any hardship, he should have a reward; but for my part, if I have done the hardest possible day's work, and then come to sit down in a corner and eat my supper comfortably --why, then I don't think I deserve any reward for my hard day's work --for am I not now at peace? Is not my supper good?

Herman Melville

Ronald Reagan

You don't have to be singing about love all the time in order to give love to the people. You don't have to keep flashing those words all the time.

Jimi Hendrix

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The key to my success has been to give up everything for my dream.

John Johnson

Toil is man's allotment; toil of brain, or toil of hands, or a grief that's more than either, the grief and sin of idleness.

Herman Melville

What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.

John Ruskin

But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.

Amy Grant
