Rosa Parks

Tell me what gives a man or woman their greatest pleasure and I'll tell you their philosophy of life.

Dale Carnegie

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.

Albert Einstein, What Life Means

... this is a hard world to be ludicrous in, with so many human beings so reluctant to laugh, so incapable of thought, so eager to believe and snarl and hate. So many people wanted to believe me! Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile!

Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

Anne Rice

I love scary movies. I like blood and gore, and I love Halloween movies.

Carrie Underwood

I have four shelves covered with journals that I've written. Dad and I are writing songs together. I've probably written 100 songs.

Miley Cyrus

The beggar wears all colors fearing none.

Charles Lamb

A house is a machine for living in.

Le Corbusier

When I am attacked by gloomy thoughts, nothing helps me so much as running to my books, They quickly absorb me and banish the clouds from my mind.

Michel de Montaigne
