The genius of democracies is seen not only in the great number of new words introduced but even more in the new ideas they express.

Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.

Mark Twain

Where mercy, love, and pity dwell, there God is dwelling too.

William Blake

I can't stop shaking. I need you. I want you. I can't let myself have you.

Kelli Maine

Happiness is dependent on self-discipline. We are the biggest obstacles to our own happiness. It is much easier to do battle with society and with others than to fight our own nature.

Dennis Prager

Each new friend gives rise to the possibility of anything!

Stephen Richards

On a day of burial there is no perspective -- for space itself is annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being. The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning. The dead friend will not really die until tomorrow, when silence is round you again. Then he will show himself complete, as he was -- to tear himself away, as he was, from the substantial you. Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and whom you cannot detain.

Antoine De SaintExupery

The thing about sports movies is, they can't help but feel epic - putting music to images, etc.

Lindsey Shaw

No place epitomizes the American experience and the American spirit more than New York City.

Michael Bloomberg

In the study of the profession to which he had looked forward all his life he found irritation and vacuity as well as serene wisdom; he saw no one clear path to Truth but a thousand paths to a thousand truths far-off and doubtful. ~ Ch. 2

Sinclair Lewis

We feel at first as if some opportunities of kindness and sympathy were lost, but learn afterward that any pure grief is ample recompense for all. That is, if we are faithful; -- for a spent grief is but sympathy with the soul that disposes events, and is as natural as the resin of Arabian trees. -- Only nature has a right to grieve perpetually, for she only is innocent. Soon the ice will melt, and the blackbirds sing along the river which he frequented, as pleasantly as ever. The same everlasting serenity will appear in this face of God, and we will not be sorrowful, if he is not.

Henry David Thoreau

I cook croquetas, and I eat jamon. I keep my diet 100% Mediterranean and drink my Rioja. In that sense, I have a piece of Spain in West Hollywood.

Paz Vega

Prometheus is reaching out for the stars with an empty grin on his face.

Arthur Koestler
