Given a man full of faith, you will have a man tenacious in purpose, absorbed in one grand object, simple in his motives, in whom selfishness has been driven out by the power of a mightier love, and indolence stirred into unwearied energy.

The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety.

Felix Mendelssohn

Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessities.

Benjamin Franklin

Art is man's nature: Nature is God's art.

Philip James Bailey

Spices are very hot, very hip. I love spices. I've always loved the Mediterranean flavors.

Todd English

The Librarian was not familiar with love, which had always struck him as a bit ethereal and soppy, but kindness, on the other hand, was practical. You knew where you were with kindness, especially if you were holding a pie it had just given you.

Terry Pratchett

You can never lose anything that really belongs to you, and you can't keep that which belongs to someone else.

Edgar Cayce

But there is so much more to do for the city we love... a Dallas with roads as strong as our businesses, parks as beautiful as our children, a downtown as tall as our imagination.

Laura Miller

I've had the good fortune to have a much more diverse life than most people would, professional sports and television and news and movies.

Ted Turner

Reason can wrestle and overthrow terror.

Euripides

Tears fell from my eyes--yes, weak and foolish as it now appears to me, I wept for my departed youth; and for that beauty of which the faithful mirror too plainly assured me, no remnant existed.

Marguerite Blessington, The Conf

A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.

Orson Welles

It is absurd to have a hard and fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn't. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read.

Oscar Wilde
